How car booking works

Four messages and a car appears.

01

Send your route

Airport run, city days or a multi-city loop — dates, travellers, luggage.

02

Fixed quote in 24 h

One price for the whole route — fuel, tolls, parking and the driver’s meals included.

03

Meet your driver

Name, photo, plate number and phone — the day before, on WeChat or WhatsApp.

04

Ride, reroute, relax

See something on the way? Ask. Detours inside the day are between you and the road.

Car & driver FAQ

Before you book the car.

Does the driver speak English?+
Our drivers are safe, professional and famously patient — but service on the road is in Chinese. That’s by design: local drivers know shortcuts no app does. If you want full conversation, add a guide for any or all days — the guide rides in your car at no extra seat charge.
Is fuel really included?+
Yes — fuel, tolls, parking and the driver’s meals are all inside the daily price. One price, everything on the road covered. If you invent a big detour on the day, extra fuel and tolls are charged at cost, with receipts shown.
What about car seats?+
Tell us ages in the booking and correct child seats are fitted before pickup, free of charge.
Can the car go between cities?+
Absolutely — Beijing to Xi’an, Chengdu to Chongqing, anywhere with a road. Long intercity runs are quoted as one fixed price covering the driver’s overnight if needed.
How many hours is a car day?+
Up to 10 hours of service within the day. Beyond that, extra hours are billed at 10% of the daily rate per hour, agreed with you before the meter — there is no meter — starts.
