Door-to-door private travel

A route planned around your real arrival and itinerary

A private Shanghai-to-Hangzhou vehicle is useful when you value door-to-door convenience, have substantial luggage, or want to combine several Hangzhou stops without changing transport. The day can be arranged around West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Longjing tea village, hotels, meetings, or onward travel.

Before you book

Plan the route accurately

01

Allow enough time for a day trip

Road travel plus sightseeing can make Hangzhou a long day. An early Shanghai departure usually gives more useful time around West Lake and nearby attractions.

02

Build stops around geography

West Lake, Lingyin Temple, and Longjing are easier when the itinerary avoids repeated cross-city driving. Share your priority stops and desired meal plans.

03

Use a larger cabin for the long ride

Luxury MPVs are popular for families and executives who prefer extra space on the longer intercity journey.
