Guangzhou is the third-largest city in the province of Guangdong, China and is located northwest of Hong Kong on the Pearl River. It is known for its avant-garde architecture with its Zaha Hadid Guangzhou Opera House, carved box-shaped Guangdong Museum, and the iconic Canton TV Tower skyscraper. As Guangzhou is such a big city, the best way to get around quickly and comfortably is by taking a Guangzhou taxi.

Guangzhou Taxi Prices

Taxis in Guangzhou calculate their fares using a taximeter based on the time and distance travelled to your exact location. However, it is good to know that only one tariff is applicable, as there is no price difference for day, night or weekend trips.

The taxi fares are as follows:

Base fee (includes the initial 2 km): €0.42 (CNY 10)
Price Per Kilometre: €0.37 (CNY 2.60)
Waiting time per hour: €5.11 (CNY 36)

Nonetheless, if you prefer to travel with a trusted company at a set rate and with a local English-speaking driver, you can always pre-book your Guangzhou private transfer with Welcome Pickups.

Guangzhou Taxi Tips

  1. Always use an official taxi - you can see this by the taxi company logo on the side of the vehicle.
  2. Ensure your Guangzhou cab driver has turned on and reset their taximeter before starting your journey.
  3. To avoid any overcharges, try and get a price estimate of your journey beforehand.
  4. Tipping your taxi driver in Guangzhou is not a must, but most travellers round up their end fare to the nearest yuan.

Guangzhou Wheelchair Accessible Taxis and Transfers

Most regular taxi services in Guangzhou cannot accommodate wheelchairs; you need to pre-book with a wheelchair-accessible cab company. The best company for this is Brightway Taxis who can be reached online or via phone on 6487 8878.
