Your Driver
Before getting to Shanghai, you’ll receive the following information from us:
- Driver's name:
- Driver's contact number:
- Vehicle's branding:
- Vehicle's seating capacity:
- Where to meet our driver:
Upon arrival in Shanghai Pudong Airport, walk to exit gate of arrival. There, you will meet our driver. In case you are unable to see our driver (this has never happened before), we strongly suggest you to try the following procedure to get in touch with us. We will do our best to solve your problem on the spot.
Go to the information desk opposite the terminal exit (staffs there speak English and are always ready to help), and ask the staff to make a phone call to your guide.
Call our 24/7 emergency line shown in our confirmation letter and ask for help.
Good to know:
- Our driver can show you to the nearest toilet and currency exchange shop if you need.
- At the hotel, your driver will help you with luggage and check in formalities. But if you book the accommodation with airbnb, your driver might not be able to drop you off at the door. Because normally airbnb is in a community where enforces the separation of pedestrians and vehicles. You need to do the check-in formalities by yourself.
- Our vehicles are equipped with GPS devices. The trunks of our vehicles are spacious enough for your luggage.
- Babies and children count as passengers even if they do not require their own seat. (We can provide the baby car seats for free if you request. Please submit this information in the "Special Request" form when booking made, at least 3 days ahead).
- Poor air can be the most concern when you are travelling in Shanghai. There're good days. There're bad days. We tested the AOI in a smog day, the index is up to 260, even in a completely sealed car, the index is also up to 140. Generally speaking, an AQI level of 100 is generally seen as the upper limit for healthy air. So we equip with an air purifier in each vehicle. Experiment has proved that the index in car is down to 30. Don't let the bad weather day get you down. We are always doing our best to make you enjoy your trip better.
Important Note
Pick-up: We provide up to 2 hours of waiting time at the airport after your flight arrives, counting from the actual landing time. Otherwise, additional waiting time fees may apply.
Drop-off: We provide up to 20 mins of waiting time at your designated pick-up address. If you don't arrive during the waiting time and cannot be contacted, you will miss your car and receive no refund.
