Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) to hotels and addresses in Tianhe, Yuexiu, the Canton Fair complex in Pazhou, Foshan and Dongguan.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Guangzhou runs from Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 to hotels in the Tianhe and Yuexiu districts, the Canton Fair complex in Pazhou, and on to Foshan and Dongguan.
Guangzhou airport transfers start in the international or domestic arrivals hall of Terminal 2 or Terminal 3, where your driver waits; many then walk you to the terminal garage, P8 at Terminal 2 or P12 at Terminal 3. We track your flight, and the price is fixed per vehicle before you fly.
Choose a sedan for two, an SUV or minivan for a family, or a minibus or coach for a trade-fair team, and ride door to door to your hotel, office or factory. Every Guangzhou airport transfer goes straight to the address on your booking.
Our Guangzhou airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, leaving as soon as you are through arrivals at Terminal 2 or Terminal 3. There is room for suitcases, samples and display cases, which suits buyers and exhibitors heading to the Canton Fair as well as families.

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) lies north of downtown Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, and is the base of China Southern Airlines. Two terminals are in use: Terminal 2, China Southern's base, and Terminal 3, opened on 30 October 2025 for most other Chinese airlines and many foreign carriers. Terminal 1 closed on 7 May 2026 for renovation.
International arrivals clear immigration first, then collect their bags in the arrivals baggage hall and pass customs into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers wait.
Guangzhou runs on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year, with no daylight saving time.
Arrival card. Since 20 November 2025 you can submit China's arrival card online before landing through the National Immigration Administration app or mini programs, or complete it at the airport.
Visa-free stays. Many nationalities can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days until 31 December 2026, and citizens of 57 countries can use 240-hour visa-free transit with a confirmed onward ticket to a third country.
Check your terminal. Terminal 1 is closed for renovation and airlines moved between terminals during 2025 and 2026, so confirm Terminal 2 or Terminal 3 on your boarding pass and give it when you book.
Mobile payment. The currency is the renminbi (CNY), and mobile payment apps are the usual way to pay.
