Executive and corporate travel in Beijing
Beijing is China's capital and the seat of central government, state-owned enterprises, financial regulators and the national headquarters of many banks. Multinationals and law firms are based in the Central Business District around Guomao, state banks and regulators are on Financial Street in Xicheng, and technology companies cluster in Zhongguancun in Haidian and around Wangjing. Executive assistants and travel managers usually book an executive car service by the hour, because the city is vast and a multi-stop itinerary across the CBD, Financial Street and Haidian covers long distances. Corporate car service is standard for delegations visiting ministries and state-owned companies.
Arriving at Capital and Daxing
Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) lies north-east of the city, with Terminals 2 and 3. Beijing Daxing International (PKX), south of the city, opened more recently and handles many international and domestic flights. Each airport transfer is flight-tracked, and the chauffeur meets you at the agreed point after immigration and customs. Choosing the right airport for your first meeting saves time.

Delegations, conferences and group transportation
Government meetings, forums and exhibitions bring delegations from around the world. The desk can quote event transportation with pickups staggered across hotels and group transportation in Sprinter-class vans. Investor roadshows to banks, state-owned enterprises and technology companies run with a lead car for the principal and support vehicles on one schedule.
Government visits and security
Ministries and state venues around Chang'an Avenue have strict security procedures, and major political meetings close roads. The chauffeur follows the host's instructions and police guidance.
Visitor notes: traffic, air quality and payments
The ring roads are congested at peak hours, and licence-plate restrictions apply on weekdays; Chauffyr plans vehicles so restrictions do not affect your booking. Winters are cold and dry, summers hot, and air quality varies. Many foreign cards are not widely accepted for local payments, and the booking is settled in advance.
The Great Wall and day trips
The Great Wall at Mutianyu or Badaling, the Ming Tombs and the Summer Palace are popular with delegations and families. An hourly booking keeps the chauffeur with you for the day.
Hotels and evenings
Executives usually stay in the CBD, near Financial Street or in Sanlitun. A private car service collects guests at the hotel entrance and can be booked for dinners in the hutongs or Sanlitun.
Tianjin and Xiong'an
Tianjin's port and industry and the Xiong'an New Area to the south-west are common extensions, booked as transfers or long hourly days.
Vehicle choice in Beijing
A sedan suits one or two executives, an SUV or MPV carries more luggage, and a Sprinter-class van keeps a delegation together.
Language and addresses
Addresses are confirmed in Chinese characters for the chauffeur, and meeting points are confirmed with you in English before travel.
Forbidden City and Tiananmen visits
Visits to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square require advance reservations and identity checks. The chauffeur drops visitors at the permitted point and meets them afterwards.
Embassy district and Sanlitun
Embassies are concentrated in Chaoyang around Sanlitun and Liangmaqiao, and visa appointments or consular meetings have set time slots with security queues. The chauffeur drops visitors at the permitted point outside each embassy and waits nearby until they come out.
