Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxis are readily available at a designated stand outside the arrivals hall. A trip to the Linyi city center (approximately 10 km away) typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Fares are metered, and it is recommended to have your destination address written in Chinese for the driver.
Rental Cars
Several Chinese car rental companies, such as China Auto Rental (Shenzhou) and eHi Car Services, offer services at or near the airport. It is advisable to book in advance. Please note that a valid Chinese driver's license is required to rent and drive a car in China; an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not sufficient on its own.
