airport pick up.
Great communication, very responsive. Driver was waiting with sign at gate of airport. Quickly packed into van and straight to hotel. Driver didn’t speak great English but didn’t matter he was a great driver and got us their safely without hassle.

<p>Upon arrival we had to wait for awhile for our driver. Which would have been fine had I not been continuously hung up on when trying to call the company about the length of time we would need to wait. Once we did meet up with our driver, he was so excited to see black people that he was sneaking and taking pictures of us which was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. The driver was then unable to remember where he parked the car. So my family and I had to cram on an elevator and stop on every floor, until he finally decided to have us stand on the side of the parking deck while he ventured off to find the car. He then brought the van to us, which was nice, however he was parked illegally so the parking attendant was fussing the whole time we were loading the car which was very uncomfortable. Being that we had used a different car service before and had such a positive experience, it really stood out how bad this one was. I will continue to use Blacklane when abroad.</p>

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Transfer between Hongqiao Airport and Downtown Shanghai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.
How much does Private Transfer between Hongqiao Airport and Downtown Shanghai cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Transfer between Hongqiao Airport and Downtown Shanghai take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.
Is Private Transfer between Hongqiao Airport and Downtown Shanghai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Transfer between Hongqiao Airport and Downtown Shanghai?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Transfer between Hongqiao Airport and Downtown Shanghai suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Transfer between Hongqiao Airport and Downtown Shanghai?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Transfer between Hongqiao Airport and Downtown Shanghai start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Shanghai?
+
On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Suzhou Private Day Trip from Shanghai with Bullet Train Option, 4-Hour Flexible Private Shanghai City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Shanghai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Shanghai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
