Private car with driver to Zhujiajiao Town from Shanghai

Eight hours in a private car, routed to fit your day

Hire a private car with driver for 8 hours from your Shanghai hotel, with flexible routing to Zhujiajiao Town or other destinations you choose. The driver picks you up at your preferred time between 9am and 5pm, speaks limited English but can connect you to English-speaking customer service by phone or WeChat at any point, and will adjust your route during the day without extra charge as long as you stay within Shanghai's downtown area. Bottled water and fuel are included.

The experience

The service runs on your schedule: you pick the start time within the 9am to 5pm window, and the driver arrives at your hotel with a sign bearing your name. The 8-hour clock starts when you meet and ends when you return to your hotel, so you control what fits inside it. Zhujiajiao Town is the common choice (a water-town village about an hour outside the city), but the driver will take you anywhere on the Shanghai map you point to, and you can change your mind mid-journey without paying extra, as long as you stay in the downtown area.

Communication happens through your driver or through the customer service line. The driver speaks limited English but has access to an English-speaking hotline and will call for you if you need help. Starting the day before your booking, you'll receive the driver's name, phone number, photo, and the vehicle details (color and license plate) via WeChat, so you know exactly who to look for. Bottled water comes with the car. If you need the service to run past 5pm, extra hours cost US$10 or 50 RMB per half-hour.

Hotels outside Shanghai's middle ring road incur a small additional charge for pickup and drop-off. The minimum age for passengers is 12.

Is this one for you?Eight hours is enough for Zhujiajiao Town and back with time to explore, but not enough for a second destination an hour away. If you want to see multiple sites or stay longer in one place, the driver can extend the service past 5pm at an hourly rate.

Top questions

Can I change where the driver takes me once we start?

Yes. The driver will adjust your route during the day without extra charge as long as you stay within Shanghai's downtown area and remain inside the 8-hour service window. If you want to extend beyond 5pm, extra hours are charged at US$10 or 50 RMB per half-hour.

What is Zhujiajiao Town like?

Zhujiajiao is a water town about an hour outside Shanghai, known for its canals, traditional architecture, and local markets. It's a common choice for the 8-hour itinerary, but the driver can take you elsewhere if you prefer.

How will I recognize my driver?

What if my hotel is outside central Shanghai?

Hotels outside the middle ring road incur a small additional charge for pickup and drop-off. Let the booking know your hotel location so the operator can confirm the exact fee.

Does the driver speak English?

The driver speaks limited English but has access to an English-speaking customer service hotline and will call for you if you need help. You can also reach customer service directly via WeChat or phone at any time during your service.
