Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service in Guilin
Guilin is one of China's best-known scenic destinations and an important gateway to the karst landscapes of northeastern Guangxi. The city is surrounded by limestone peaks, rivers and countryside, while nearby Yangshuo and the Li River attract visitors from around the world. Guilin is also a useful starting point for journeys to smaller towns, scenic areas and regional destinations that are easier to reach by road.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private transfers and chauffeur service in Guilin for individual travellers, families, business visitors and groups. Transportation can be arranged between the airport, hotels, railway stations, private addresses, tourist areas and destinations outside the city. Booking in advance is particularly useful when continuing directly to Yangshuo or travelling with luggage to accommodation outside central Guilin.
Guilin Airport Transfers
Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (KWL) is the main airport serving Guilin and the surrounding region. It is located approximately 28 kilometres from central Guilin and handles domestic as well as international flights.
A private transfer from Guilin Airport provides direct transportation to hotels and addresses throughout the city without the need to arrange another vehicle after arrival. Transfers can also be booked directly from KWL to Yangshuo, allowing travellers to bypass central Guilin when their accommodation is farther south.
Pre-booked airport transfers are particularly convenient for families, groups and passengers carrying substantial luggage. An appropriately sized car, van or larger vehicle can be arranged before arrival, while English-speaking drivers can make communication easier for international visitors.
Getting from Guilin Airport to the City
Travellers arriving at Guilin Liangjiang International Airport can continue to the city by airport transport services, taxi or private transfer. The journey to central Guilin typically involves a significant road transfer, so planning transportation before arrival can make the first stage of the trip easier.
A private transfer provides direct door-to-door travel from the airport terminal to the exact hotel, apartment or other destination. This avoids the need to coordinate onward transportation after reaching a central stop and is especially convenient after a long flight or when travelling with children or several bags.
For departing passengers, sufficient time should be allowed for the journey back to KWL, particularly during busy traffic periods.
Private Transfers from Guilin to Yangshuo
Yangshuo is one of the most popular destinations in the Guilin region and lies approximately 65 kilometres southeast of Guilin. It is known for dramatic karst scenery, the Li River, countryside routes and a wide range of hotels and guesthouses.
Travellers can reach Yangshuo by bus, train and other transport services, but a private transfer provides direct travel between a Guilin hotel, Liangjiang Airport and the exact accommodation address in Yangshuo. This can be particularly useful because Yangshuo Railway Station is located outside the town itself and may require an additional local transfer.
Direct airport-to-Yangshuo transfers are also convenient for travellers who do not plan to stay in Guilin before continuing south. The journey can be arranged in advance according to the flight arrival time and passenger requirements.
Li River and Regional Travel
The Li River is central to many Guilin itineraries. River cruises between the Guilin area and Yangshuo are a popular sightseeing experience, while private road transportation can be useful for reaching cruise departure points, hotels and other attractions before or after the journey.
A chauffeur service can also help travellers combine several scenic locations during the same day. Instead of arranging separate taxis for each stage, the vehicle and driver can remain available according to the booked schedule.
This flexibility is useful in a region where many attractions are spread beyond the urban centre and public transport may not provide direct access to every hotel, viewpoint or countryside destination.
Getting Around Guilin
Central Guilin has buses, taxis and other local transportation options, and many attractions within the urban area are relatively straightforward to reach. However, the wider tourism region extends far beyond the city itself.
Travellers frequently move between Guilin, Yangshuo, railway stations, river cruise facilities and scenic areas in the surrounding countryside. For itineraries involving luggage, several stops or destinations outside the city centre, private transportation can provide a more convenient alternative to coordinating multiple local services.
A pre-booked vehicle is also useful when travelling according to a fixed timetable, such as a flight departure, train connection or scheduled excursion.
Chauffeur Service in Guilin
Hourly chauffeur service is suitable for travellers who need a vehicle for several journeys during the same period. The driver and vehicle can remain available according to the booked itinerary, allowing passengers to visit several locations without arranging a new ride after each stop.
For leisure travellers, this can be useful for sightseeing around Guilin and the surrounding countryside. Business visitors can also use a chauffeur for transportation between hotels, meetings, offices and other appointments.
Families and groups can reserve vans or larger vehicles so that everyone travels together, with sufficient space for passengers and luggage.
Long-Distance Transfers from Guilin
Guilin is well positioned for road travel across northeastern Guangxi and to other destinations in southern China. WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transfers according to route and operational availability.
A private transfer provides door-to-door transportation from Guilin Airport, a city hotel, Yangshuo or another pickup point directly to the final destination. This can be particularly valuable when the destination is not conveniently connected by direct train or when passengers prefer not to manage several changes with luggage.
For itineraries involving multiple stops, a chauffeur or multi-stop arrangement may provide more flexibility than a standard one-way transfer.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
Taxis and ride-hailing services are available in Guilin and can be practical for short local journeys. A pre-booked private transfer is more useful when the journey requires advance planning, a particular vehicle size or travel outside the immediate city area.
Airport passengers can arrange the pickup before arriving, while groups can reserve a suitable van or larger vehicle. Travellers heading to Yangshuo or another regional destination can confirm the complete route in advance rather than arranging a longer journey after entering a local taxi.
International visitors may also prefer transportation with an English-speaking driver, especially when travelling to hotels or destinations outside central Guilin.
Guilin Railway Stations and Private Transfers
Guilin is served by several railway stations, including Guilin Railway Station, Guilin North Railway Station and Guilin West Railway Station. High-speed rail provides useful connections with other Chinese cities and with destinations in the wider region.
Because the stations are located in different parts of the metropolitan area, travellers should check carefully which station appears on their ticket. A pre-booked transfer can connect any of these stations with a hotel, Liangjiang Airport or a regional destination.
Private transportation is especially convenient when arriving with luggage or when continuing directly from a train to Yangshuo, the airport or countryside accommodation.
Useful Travel Information for Guilin
Travellers should distinguish between Guilin city, Guilin Liangjiang International Airport and Yangshuo, as these are separate locations with meaningful road distances between them. The airport is around 28 kilometres from central Guilin, while Yangshuo lies roughly 65 kilometres southeast of the city.
Yangshuo can be reached by road and rail, but its railway station is located away from the central tourist area. Travellers staying in Yangshuo should therefore consider the complete door-to-door journey rather than only the train travel time.
When booking airport or regional transportation, provide accurate flight or train details, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and the exact destination so that an appropriate vehicle can be arranged.
Book a Private Transfer in Guilin
WelcomeTaxi offers pre-booked transportation for Guilin Airport arrivals, railway station transfers, chauffeur hire and long-distance journeys throughout the region. Whether you need a transfer from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport, direct transportation to Yangshuo or a private vehicle for several hours of sightseeing, your journey can be arranged in advance with a suitable vehicle and professional driver.
