Ground Transportation
Taxis
Official taxis are available at designated stands outside the arrivals hall of Terminal 3. Fares are metered, and a trip to the central Hankou district typically takes 40-60 minutes, depending on traffic. It is advisable to use the official queue and ensure the meter is used to avoid overcharging.
Rental Cars
Car rental counters for companies like China Auto Rental (CAR Inc.) and eHi Car Services are located in the arrivals hall. Renting a car in China generally requires a valid Chinese driver's license. International visitors should be aware that an International Driving Permit (IDP) alone is typically not sufficient to rent and drive a vehicle.
Public Transportation
The airport is well-integrated with Wuhan's public transit network. The Metro Line 2 station is located in the Ground Transportation Center (GTC) and provides a direct, cost-effective link to major city areas. The Tianhe Airport Intercity Railway Station, also in the GTC, connects to major railway hubs like Hankou and Wuchang stations.
