Taxi Tips & Safety

Find official taxis at designated stands outside Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 arrivals. Join the queue to avoid touts. Airport staff guide you to these spots.

Avoid scams by using only metered taxis from official queues. Insist on the meter and check for fake ones. Decline unsolicited offers from drivers inside the terminal.

Pay by cash, WeChat Pay, or Alipay. Cards like Visa do not work. Keep small bills ready and confirm destination clearly with the driver.
