Ground Transportation

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025

Taxis

Official taxis are available 24/7 at designated stands outside the arrivals halls of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The trip to downtown Zhengzhou is metered and typically takes 40-60 minutes. It is advisable to have your destination address written in Chinese and ensure the driver uses the meter.

Rental Cars

Car rental counters for companies like China Auto Rental (CAR), eHi Car Services, and Avis are located in the arrivals hall. A valid Chinese driver's license is required to rent a vehicle for self-driving, as International Driving Permits (IDPs) are not recognized in China. Chauffeur services are a common alternative.

Public Transportation

The airport's Ground Transportation Center (GTC) offers several public transit options:
- Metro: The Chengjiao Line (an extension of Metro Line 2) connects the airport to the city's subway system.
- Intercity Railway: A high-speed train links the airport directly with Zhengzhou Railway Station and Zhengzhou East Railway Station, major hubs for the national rail network.
- Airport Shuttle Bus: Multiple bus routes provide service to various key locations in downtown Zhengzhou and neighboring cities.
