Getting around Qingdao
When you explore Qingdao, transport choices are many, and each has trade-offs compared with GetTransfer.
Public Transport in Qingdao
Qingdao’s buses and metro moves locals affordably, with typical single fares from about CNY 2 to CNY 6 depending on distance; a 20 km ride will cost roughly CNY 4–6 and take 40–60 minutes. Routes are extensive but schedules and luggage rules can complicate travel for tourists. You will often change lines, struggle with signage, and spend extra time; with GetTransfer you pay an exact fare for a direct door-to-door ride that saves time and stress.
Car Rentals in Qingdao
Renting a car gives freedom, with daily rates typically from CNY 200 to CNY 450 for standard cars, plus fuel and parking. Navigating traffic, paying for tolls, and finding parking in busy areas like Qingdao downtown or May Fourth Square add hidden costs. If you prefer not to drive, GetTransfer provides a driver who knows local routes and parking, so you avoid extra fees and the hassle of unfamiliar roads.
Taxi in Qingdao
Street taxis in Qingdao are ubiquitous, with metered fares starting around CNY 10–14 and CNY 2.4–3 per kilometre thereafter; a 10 km city ride often costs CNY 30–40. Haggling and late-night surge pricing can spoil plans, and some drivers may be unfamiliar with hotel or attraction names used by foreign tourists. GetTransfer essentially provides taxi services in Qingdao but better: you book in advance, choose the car and driver, and see the exact price before pickup. That means no surprise fare hikes, preassigned seats when you need them, and clear licence and company details for peace of mind. The service blends the spontaneity of a cab with limousine-level professionalism when required, so you get a reliable ride every time.

You can book private seater cars, limousines, or multi-seater vans for intercity transfers that traditional taxis might refuse or price unpredictably.

Scenic Views Along Routes
Many routes out of Qingdao offer memorable coastal panoramas and inland scenery. Driving north along the coast reveals rocky promontories, lighthouse viewpoints and fishing villages, while inland roads cross rolling farmland and orchards. A waterfront transfer toward the Laoshan area gives passengers sweeping sea vistas and temple views; drivers often take slightly longer scenic roads when requested, turning a transfer into a brief photo stop for extra value.
