Airport Transportation in Guangzhou
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Guangzhou runs from Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 to hotels in the Tianhe and Yuexiu districts, the Canton Fair complex in Pazhou, and on to Foshan and Dongguan.
Guangzhou Airport Transfers
Guangzhou airport transfers start in the international or domestic arrivals hall of Terminal 2 or Terminal 3, where your driver waits; many then walk you to the terminal garage, P8 at Terminal 2 or P12 at Terminal 3. We track your flight, and the price is fixed per vehicle before you fly.
Choose a sedan for two, an SUV or minivan for a family, or a minibus or coach for a trade-fair team, and ride door to door to your hotel, office or factory. Every Guangzhou airport transfer goes straight to the address on your booking.
Guangzhou Airport Shuttle
Our Guangzhou airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, leaving as soon as you are through arrivals at Terminal 2 or Terminal 3. There is room for suitcases, samples and display cases, which suits buyers and exhibitors heading to the Canton Fair as well as families.
Landing at Guangzhou Airport
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) lies north of downtown Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, and is the base of China Southern Airlines. Two terminals are in use: Terminal 2, China Southern's base, and Terminal 3, opened on 30 October 2025 for most other Chinese airlines and many foreign carriers. Terminal 1 closed on 7 May 2026 for renovation.
International arrivals clear immigration first, then collect their bags in the arrivals baggage hall and pass customs into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers wait.
Guangzhou runs on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year, with no daylight saving time.
Arrival card
Since 20 November 2025 you can submit China's arrival card online before landing through the National Immigration Administration app or mini programs, or complete it at the airport.
Visa-free stays
Many nationalities can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days until 31 December 2026, and citizens of 57 countries can use 240-hour visa-free transit with a confirmed onward ticket to a third country.
Check your terminal
Terminal 1 is closed for renovation and airlines moved between terminals during 2025 and 2026, so confirm Terminal 2 or Terminal 3 on your boarding pass and give it when you book.
Mobile payment
The currency is the renminbi (CNY), and mobile payment apps are the usual way to pay.

Where will my driver meet me at Guangzhou Airport?
Your driver waits in the international or domestic arrivals hall of Terminal 2 or Terminal 3. Many drivers park in the terminal garage, P8 at Terminal 2 or P12 at Terminal 3, and walk you there from the arrivals exit.
How far is Guangzhou Airport from the city center?
The airport is about 28 km north of downtown Guangzhou. By car the trip to the center takes about 40 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic.
Which terminal will I arrive at?
China Southern Airlines uses Terminal 2. China Eastern, Air China, Hainan Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines and many international carriers, including Cathay Pacific, Emirates and Turkish Airlines, use Terminal 3. Check the terminal on your boarding pass.
Is Terminal 1 at Guangzhou Airport open?
No. Terminal 1 closed on 7 May 2026 for renovation, and its airlines moved to Terminal 3. All flights now use Terminal 2 or Terminal 3.
Can you take me to the Canton Fair in Pazhou?
Yes. Enter your hotel near the Canton Fair complex in Pazhou, or the complex itself, as your drop-off. Minivans and minibuses suit teams traveling with samples or display cases.
Can you take me to hotels in Tianhe or Yuexiu?
Yes. Enter your hotel's address when you book and your driver takes you door to door in the Tianhe or Yuexiu districts or anywhere else in Guangzhou.
Can I book a transfer to Foshan or Dongguan?
Foshan and Dongguan are among the places travelers head to from the airport. Enter your hotel, office or factory address to see your vehicle options.
Can I book a transfer from Guangzhou Airport to Shenzhen or Hong Kong?
Enter your address in Shenzhen or Hong Kong to see if a transfer is offered. Going to Hong Kong also means a separate border crossing, so carry the right documents.
Can you drop me at a factory, office or trade market?
Yes. Your transfer goes to the address on your booking, so give the full address, ideally in Chinese as well, for an office, factory, warehouse or wholesale market.
What if I land after the metro stops?
Metro Line 3 runs roughly from 06:00 to 23:30. Your pickup follows the actual landing time of the flight on your reservation, so a late arrival is covered and you go straight to your address.
Should I accept a ride from people inside the terminal?
No. Turn down drivers who approach you inside the terminal. Use only the official taxi queue or go with the driver named in your confirmation.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so a delay moves your pickup with it. If your flight number, date or terminal changes, update it in Manage your booking so the booking can be updated.
Can I book my ride back to Guangzhou Airport?
Yes. Book a departure from your hotel or address to CAN and give your departure terminal, Terminal 2 or Terminal 3, since the two buildings are separate and linked only by shuttle bus and train.
Is Airport Transportation the same as Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport?
No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that you book online before you land; we do not run the airport. For terminals, airlines and other facts, see our Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport page.
