上海
Airport Transfer
Done Right
You’ve just landed after a long-haul flight. The last thing you need is to wrestle with an app in Mandarin or drag your suitcase through three metro changes. Here’s a smarter way to start your Shanghai trip.
The Real Question Isn’t
“How Do I Get There?”
It’s “how do I get there without the stress?” Shanghai is one of the world’s great cities — but getting from the airport to your hotel can feel like a puzzle, especially if it’s your first time in China.
Shanghai has two major international airports: 浦東国際空港（PVG）, around 45 km from the city center, and Hongqiao International Airport (SHA), which sits much closer to the west side of the city. Each serves different routes, and the transfer experience from each is quite different.
You have options: metro, maglev, taxi, ride-hailing, shared shuttle, or a プライベート空港送迎. For first-time visitors, business travelers, families with luggage, or anyone flying in late at night, a private transfer is simply the most reliable, comfortable, and stress-free choice. No apps to install, no language barrier, no guessing whether you boarded the right metro line.
This guide covers everything you need to know — the airports, your transport options, how private transfers work, and how to book the right service for your trip.
PVG vs SHA: Shanghai’s Two Airports
Before you book anything, you need to know which airport you’re flying into. They’re in completely different parts of the city — and the transfer experience is very different.
国際空港
Shanghai’s main international hub. Most long-haul flights — from Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia — land here. Pudong is large, modern, and well-organized, but it’s 45–60 km from the city center. That’s 45–90 minutes by car depending on traffic.
国際空港
Mainly handles domestic routes and some regional international flights. Hongqiao is connected to Hongqiao Railway Station, making it easy to reach other Chinese cities by high-speed train. It’s closer to the city — around 15–30 km from the center — so transfers are typically faster.
How to Get from Shanghai Airport to the City
Every traveler has different priorities. Here’s an honest comparison of all your main transport options from PVG or SHA — no spin, just the facts.
| オプション | 料金 | Journey Time (PVG) | Luggage | 最適な用途 | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| プライベート送迎 | ¥350–¥800+ | 45–90 min (door-to-door) | ✓ Included | Business, families, first-timers | Best Overall |
| Metro (Line 2) | ¥8–¥10 | 60–80 min + walking | 限定 | Solo budget travelers | Budget |
| Maglev + Metro | ¥55–¥60 | 50–65 min total | 適度 | Speed seekers, light luggage | Fastest Start |
| Official Taxi | ¥200–¥400 | 45–80 min | ✓ OK | Flexible travelers | Good Option |
| 配車サービス（DiDi） | ¥180–¥350 | 45–80 min | ✓ OK | App-savvy travelers | Good Option |
| 空港シャトルバス | ¥20–¥35 | 60–120 min (shared stops) | 限定 | Budget travelers near route stops | Budget |
Our honest take: The metro is great if you’re traveling light and know where you’re going. But if you have two bags, a jet-lagged companion, or a meeting in two hours, a private Shanghai airport transfer is worth every yuan.

Everything You Want to Know
About Shanghai Airport Transfers
Real questions from real travelers. If yours isn’t here, just contact us.
What is the best way to get from Shanghai Pudong Airport to downtown?
For most travelers, a プライベート空港送迎 is the best option. It takes 45–90 minutes door-to-door, requires no luggage handling on your part, and you’re dropped right at your hotel entrance. The alternative is the metro (Line 2), which is cheap but requires multiple stops and can be tiring with heavy bags. The maglev is fast to Longyang Road but still requires a metro transfer after that. If you value convenience and comfort, book a private transfer.
How long does a Shanghai airport transfer usually take?
から PVG (Pudong) to the city center: expect 45–90 minutes by private car, depending on traffic and your hotel location. Early mornings and late nights are fastest; afternoon rush hours (4–7 PM) can push it closer to 90 minutes.
から SHA (Hongqiao) to the city center: typically 25–50 minutes, as it’s much closer. Again, traffic conditions apply.
What is the difference between PVG and SHA airport transfers?
PVG (Pudong) is Shanghai’s main international airport. It’s farther from the city center — around 45–60 km — so transfers take longer and cost more. SHA (Hongqiao) is closer (15–30 km) and mainly handles domestic and regional flights. Transfers from SHA are faster and generally cheaper. Always double-check which airport your flight uses before booking.
Can I book a private transfer in advance?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Booking in advance guarantees your vehicle, confirms your driver, and gives you peace of mind especially for early-morning or late-night flights. You can book days or weeks ahead. Same-day bookings may be possible but are subject to availability.
Are child seats available for airport transfers in Shanghai?
Yes. Child seats are available on request. Simply mention your requirements when booking — specify the age and weight of the child so we can fit the right seat. There may be a small additional charge for child seat provision.
Do drivers track flight delays and late arrivals?
Yes, always. Your driver monitors your flight status in real time. If your flight is delayed, your driver adjusts their arrival time accordingly and is waiting when you land. You will not be charged extra for flight delays. If your flight is cancelled, contact us as soon as possible to reschedule or cancel without penalty.
Is meet-and-greet service included?
Yes. Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name. They will help you with your luggage and guide you to the vehicle. There is no need to navigate signs or find a taxi rank — everything is handled from the moment you walk through arrivals.
Can I book a transfer for early-morning or late-night flights?
Absolutely. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether your flight lands at 3 AM or departs at 5 AM, we have drivers available. Just enter your exact flight time when booking.
Are airport transfers available for business travelers and groups?
Yes. We regularly serve corporate clients and travel groups. For business travelers, we offer executive MPV vehicles and can provide receipts for expense reporting. For groups, we have minivans and can coordinate multiple vehicles for larger parties. Contact us for group booking discounts.
How much does a private Shanghai airport transfer cost?
Prices depend on the pickup airport, your destination, and vehicle type. As a general guide: a sedan from PVG to central Shanghai starts from approximately ¥350–¥450. From SHA, prices start slightly lower. Business MPVs and group minivans cost more. All prices are fixed and inclusive of tolls — no surprise charges at the end of your ride.
Can I book a one-way and round-trip transfer?
Yes to both. You can book a single one-way transfer (airport to hotel or hotel to airport) or a round-trip that covers both. Round-trip bookings are convenient and often offer slightly better value. Both can be managed through a single booking.
Do transfer services cover hotels, cruise ports, and nearby cities?
Yes. We transfer to and from all major Shanghai hotels, the Wusongkou and Waigaoqiao cruise terminals, business parks, and exhibition centers. We also offer intercity transfers to destinations like Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. Just specify your destination when booking.
Is luggage assistance included?
Yes. Your driver will assist with loading and unloading your luggage at both ends of the journey — from the arrivals hall to the car, and from the car to your hotel lobby. You don’t need to tip for this; it’s part of the service.
What vehicle types are available for Shanghai airport transfers?
We offer three main vehicle categories: Standard Sedan (1–3 passengers, such as a Buick or Toyota Camry), Business MPV (1–4 passengers with more luggage space, such as a Buick GL8), and Group Minivan (5–8 passengers, such as a Toyota HiAce). Choose based on your group size and luggage volume.
