Bruce Zhang with his Buick GL8 at Xi'an Xianyang Airport Terminal 5

Hi, I'm Bruce Zhang. I live in Xi'an and I drive travelers between Xi'an Xianyang Airport, Xi'an North Railway Station and their hotels. I speak English, so you can tell me what you need before you land and we can talk normally in the car.

Why I do this

Xianyang Airport is about 45 km from the city center. Many flights land late at night, the taxi queue is long, and most drivers don't speak English. A lot of visitors also arrive without a working payment app. I want your first hour in China to be simple: someone waiting with your name, a fixed price, and help getting set up.

What you get

  • I wait at the Terminal 5 arrivals exit with a sign showing your name. Before you land I send you a photo of the meeting point on WhatsApp.
  • I track your flight. If it is late, you don't pay extra. The first 60 minutes after landing are free.
  • Fixed price, agreed before the trip. No meter, no surprises.
  • Help with your luggage, and bottled water in the car.
  • If you need it, I help you set up Alipay, Didi or your eSIM while we drive.

The cars

  • Buick GL8 (7-seat MPV) – my own car. Up to 4 passengers with 4 large suitcases, or 5–6 passengers with carry-on bags only.
  • Sedan – up to 3 passengers with 2 large suitcases, driven by a trusted partner driver.

If I'm not available

Sometimes I am already driving another guest at your time. Then a vetted backup driver picks you up, at the same price and with the same rules. You get his name, photo and car plate on WhatsApp at least 24 hours before pickup, so you always know who is coming.

How booking and payment work

  1. Send your flight or train details through the booking form or on WhatsApp.
  2. I confirm and send you a PayPal link for a 30% deposit.
  3. You pay the rest in the car by card, Alipay, WeChat Pay or cash (CNY).

Transfers can be cancelled for free up to 24 hours before pickup. Half-day and full-day charters can be cancelled for free up to 48 hours before. See all prices and FAQ.

  • Save the WhatsApp contact in advance

For first-time visitors

If this is your first time in Xi'an, private pickup is the easiest way to avoid delays and unnecessary stress after arrival.

For late-night arrivals

Late flights are common. A pre-arranged driver is much safer and easier than finding transport after midnight.

Direct pickup, clear communication, and private transfer are ideal for travelers who value comfort and reliability.

If you are arriving in Xi'an soon and need a reliable transfer, contact Bruce on WhatsApp before your flight.        The pickup details can be arranged in advance.
