Taxi Tips & Safety

Find official taxis at stands in Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 arrivals near baggage claim. Follow English signs to queue areas that run 24/7. Ignore touts offering rides outside.

Avoid scams by using only metered taxis from the queue. Check for official markings and refuse fixed off-meter prices. Report issues to the hotline 023-63864421.

Pay with cash, WeChat, or Alipay. For safety, note the taxi number and share your trip details. Ride-hailing like Didi works too from app pickup zones.
