Useful Tips

Tipping is uncommon in China and is actually illegal in some areas, so your driver is not likely to accept a tip. What is more common is rounding up when dealing with small amounts, to avoid dealing with small change.
Chinese taxis don't usually accept foreign credit cards, so make sure you have cash on you.
On routes with tolls, the toll fee is usually added to the total cost of the ride as an extra charge.
It is not uncommon for drivers to pick up an extra passenger that is going the same way, especially during slow times.
