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.
