Why Getting Around Shanghai Requires a Local Driver
Corporate and Finance Access Require Local Connections
China Car Rentals picks up from any Shanghai hotel or address, with the highest volume of bookings coming from The Peninsula Shanghai, Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund, Park Hyatt Shanghai, Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai, Rosewood Shanghai, The St. Regis Shanghai Jing'an, and Capella Shanghai guests. We also arrange executive transport for banking and finance meetings in Lujiazui's financial towers, boardroom-to-boardroom scheduling for multi-stop corporate itineraries, and discreet transfers for high-net-worth clients between private banks, family offices, and headquarters across Pudong and Puxi.
Two airports 60km apart serve opposite sides of the city
Pudong International (PVG) handles most international flights and sits 45km east of central Shanghai. Hongqiao (SHA) is 13km west of the city and mainly handles domestic routes. Getting to the wrong airport adds 2+ hours to your journey — your driver knows your flight's terminal before you depart.
Pudong and Puxi are separated by the Huangpu River
The Bund, French Concession, and Jing'an are on the Puxi (west) side. Lujiazui, the financial towers, and PVG Airport are on the Pudong (east) side. Cross-river tunnels and bridges add unpredictable time depending on traffic — a local driver picks the fastest crossing in real time.
Business districts spread across both banks demand a driver who knows the tunnels
From Lujiazui (Pudong) to the French Concession (Xuhui) is 12km. From the Bund to Disneyland is 30km. From Jing'an to Hongqiao Airport is 14km. A driver who knows Shanghai's traffic timing by time of day saves 30–60 minutes per cross-district trip.

FAQ
How much does it cost to rent a car with a driver in Shanghai?
China Car Rentals' Shanghai rates start from $95 for airport transfers and $195 for full-day rental or corporate car service.
How long is the drive from Shanghai Pudong Airport to the city center?
From Lujiazui, PVG is about 40 minutes; from the Bund or Jing'an on the Puxi side, allow 60–75 minutes depending on traffic and river-crossing tunnels. Hongqiao Airport (SHA), by contrast, is only 13km west of the city center — about 20–30 minutes from Jing'an.
Which side of the river are Shanghai's business hotels on?
Puxi (the Bund, French Concession, Jing'an) holds most of Shanghai's historic hotels; Pudong (Lujiazui) holds the modern towers and financial-district properties. A river crossing during peak traffic can add 20–30 minutes versus off-peak — your driver times the route accordingly.
Are your Shanghai drivers English-speaking?
English-speaking drivers are available on request, subject to availability.
Can you arrange transport for banking and finance meetings in Lujiazui?
Yes. China Car Rentals' corporate car service provides boardroom-to-boardroom scheduling for multi-stop itineraries, with an executive fleet including Mercedes S-Class and Maybach for banking and finance clients.
Can you accommodate group travel in Shanghai?
Yes. China Car Rentals provides vehicles for individual travelers up to groups of 22, using the Toyota Coaster for larger parties. For groups above 22, we arrange coaches up to 50 passengers, including multi-stop routing between Pudong's financial district and Puxi's business hotels.
