Taxi
In Guangzhou
Taxis
are available from the main hotels 24 hours a day. You can also catch a taxi
outside the train stations or hail one on the street. Demand for taxis is great,
particularly during the peak hours from 8 to 9 am and during lunch and dinner
hours.
Taxis
are equipped with meters and drivers use them unless you've negotiated a set fee
in advance. The cost depends on what type of vehicle it is. Flag fall for each
type of taxi is the same (Y7) but the charge per l km after flag fall differs
depending on the size of the taxi. The cost per kilometer (after flag-fall) is
displayed on a little sticker on the right rear window. Taxis can be hired for a
single trip or chartered on a hourly or daily basis.
Taxi
drivers in Guangzhou are fairly honest; few of them speak English.
There are no extra nighttime charges, however passengers will have to pay
the toll fee if taxis have to go through tollbooths. You can also hire a taxi
for a single trip and/or charter it on an hourly or daily basis. Distances over
15 km may be subject to a 50% surcharge.
