Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to hotels and addresses on the Bund, Nanjing Road, Lujiazui, People's Square and Hongqiao Railway Station.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Shanghai Pudong 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 Shanghai runs from both PVG terminals to hotels on the Bund and Nanjing Road, the Lujiazui business district, the People's Square area and Hongqiao Railway Station for onward high-speed trains.
Shanghai airport transfers start in the public arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, where your driver waits after the customs exit; each terminal has its own hall, so give yours when you book. 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 group, and ride door to door to your hotel, serviced apartment, office or railway station anywhere in Shanghai. Every Shanghai airport transfer goes straight to the address on your booking.
Our Shanghai airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, leaving as soon as you are through arrivals at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. There is room for suitcases and bulky bags, which suits families, business teams and groups heading to the Bund, Lujiazui or Hongqiao.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is on the coast east of central Shanghai and is the main hub of China Eastern Airlines. It has two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, standing side by side with the rail stations between them; each is linked by an automated train to a satellite concourse, S1 and S2.
If you arrive at a satellite gate, the automated train takes you to the main terminal for passport control. Collect your bags in the baggage hall, then pass through customs into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers wait.
Shanghai runs on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year, with no daylight saving time.
Arrival card. Fill in China's online arrival card before landing through the NIA 12367 app, the National Immigration Administration website or its WeChat or Alipay mini program. Paper cards and kiosks are also available at immigration.
Visa-free stays. Nationals on China's visa-free list can stay up to 30 days through 31 December 2026, and eligible transit passengers can use 240-hour visa-free transit with an onward ticket to a third country. Everyone else needs a visa.
Two Shanghai airports. Pudong (PVG) and Hongqiao (SHA) are on opposite sides of the city. Check the code on your ticket and book your transfer from the airport you actually land at.
Mobile payment. The currency is the renminbi (yuan, CNY), and Alipay and WeChat Pay, which both accept linked foreign cards, are used almost everywhere.
