Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Taxis

Official taxis are available 24/7 at designated stands outside the arrivals halls of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Fares are metered, and it is strongly recommended to use the official queue to avoid scams. Have your destination address written in Chinese characters to ensure clear communication with the driver.

Rental Cars

Major international and local car rental companies like Hertz, Avis, and eHi Car Services have counters in the arrivals area. However, self-driving is generally not an option for most international visitors as a valid Chinese driver's license is mandatory. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not sufficient on its own. Chauffeur-driven car services are a more common and practical alternative.

Public Transportation

PVG is well-connected by an efficient public transit system:
- Maglev Train: The world's fastest commercial train, connecting the airport to Longyang Road Metro Station in approximately 8 minutes. From there, you can transfer to the Metro network.
- Metro (Subway): Line 2 runs directly from the airport to central city locations like Lujiazui, People's Square, and Jing'an Temple. It's a cost-effective option that connects to the entire Shanghai Metro network.
- Airport Buses: An extensive network of shuttle bus lines serves major districts, transport hubs, and hotels throughout Shanghai and neighboring cities like Suzhou and Hangzhou.
