NOT SELF-DRIVE
Looking for a self-drive car rental?
China does not recognise International Driving Permits — self-driving requires a Chinese temporary driving permit issued after you arrive. With us you never drive: every booking includes a licensed local driver, so there is no licence paperwork, no navigation and no parking to handle. Read the licence FAQ

Two Ways to Book
Both are private — never shared with strangers, never rerouted to a shopping stop.
Airport & Rail Station Transfers
One-way pickup or drop-off with a name sign at arrivals. Your driver tracks your flight or train, so a delayed arrival does not mean a missed ride.
Available in: Zhangjiajie (DYG / West Station ↔ Wulingyuan), Xi'an, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xinjiang (Urumqi), Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Guiyang, Tibet (Lhasa) · Daytime and nighttime rates
Daytime and nighttime rates
Full-Day & Multi-Day Charter
8 hours (or 8–10 hours) of private vehicle and driver, with the route set by you. Extend to a multi-day itinerary across cities with one coordinator throughout.
Available in: Zhangjiajie, Xi'an, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xinjiang, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Guiyang, Tibet and our other destination cities
Vehicle only — add a private guide if you want one

One Team Across 11+ Destination Cities
In every city below, the vehicle, the driver and your coordinator are arranged by our own licensed travel agency in that city — the same in-house team that runs our private tours. One contract, one point of contact, your trip is never resold through middlemen.

Lhasa
a driver who knows the pickup point, the scenic-area gate and the local traffic rules comes from the same city team that handles your permits and tickets — not a broker passing the job along.
Tibet is the sole exception. In Lhasa and across Tibet, a vehicle is arranged only as part of a permitted private tour with a licensed guide — never as a standalone charter. Tibet itineraries also follow their own deposit and payment schedule (30% deposit, balance 45 days before departure); permit and administrative fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. See Section 7.7.

Questions Before You Book
Short answers here. For the full booking, payment and cancellation terms, see our FAQ and Cancellation Policy.
-
No. You are never the driver. China does not recognise International Driving Permits; visitors who want to self-drive must apply for a Chinese temporary driving permit after arrival. With a private charter, a licensed local driver handles the road, so no permit, translation or licence paperwork is needed.
-
Always a car with a driver. We do not offer self-drive rentals. If you are comparing self-drive against a chauffeur for a short city-based trip, the charter removes the licence process, navigation, tolls and parking in one go.
-
It depends on the city, vehicle class and booked hours. One-way transfers start from US$17.88 in Zhangjiajie and full-day 8-hour charters from US$59.60 there; Beijing and Xi'an start higher. Your quote is itemised, and you pay exactly the quoted amount.
-
Our drivers are licensed local professionals who mainly speak Chinese and coordinate through WeChat and a translation app. If you want someone who speaks your language travelling with you for the day, add a private guide — that is a separate service and is quoted separately.
-
Yes. Transfers are standalone services in Zhangjiajie, Beijing and Chongqing. Many guests book a transfer first and decide on sightseeing after they arrive.
-
Your driver tracks the arrival and waits. Send your coordinator a message if the change is major — the same coordinator handles both your transfer and any later touring.
-
Only as part of a permitted private Tibet tour with a licensed guide — Tibet itineraries are the sole exception to our standalone charter service. The Tibet deposit and payment schedule also differs: 30% deposit, balance 45 days before departure, and permit fees are non-refundable.
-
Charter bookings follow our standard Cancellation & Refund Policy; Tibet arrangements follow Section 7.7 of that policy. We keep the detail on the policy page so this page stays readable.
