Why Take a Beijing Daxing Airport Taxi

Taxis at Beijing Daxing Airport are the most comfortable way to reach your destination. Available 24/7, they provide direct rides without the hassle of navigating buses, trains, or subway transfers. Simply line up at the official taxi stand, load your luggage into the trunk, and give your driver your hotel’s name and address. Since many drivers don’t speak English, it’s smart to keep your address written in Chinese to avoid confusion.

While taxis are convenient, they aren’t always the fastest due to Beijing’s heavy traffic. Peak hours (7:00–9:00 am and 5:00–7:00 pm) can significantly extend travel time. During late-night hours (11:00 pm – 5:00 am) or on rainy days, available taxis may also be fewer.
