Officially Set

The Guangzhou taxi rate was officially set on October 1, 2013. Taxi tariffs in China are officially set by cities or districts.

How the fare is made up under the Guangzhou taxi rate:

The Guangzhou taxi tariff is based on a clear and simple structure. When you start your journey in a Guangzhou taxi, you pay a base fare of ¥10.00. This base fare covers the first 2.50 kilometers of your trip. There is no additional charge for waiting time, so you will not pay extra if the taxi stops or moves slowly due to traffic.

After you have traveled 2.50 kilometers, the fare increases at a set rate. For every kilometer after the initial 2.50 kilometers, you pay an additional ¥2.60 per kilometer. The taxi meter calculates the total distance to work out the final cost of your ride.

The total fare you pay depends on the length of your trip. The meter will add the base fare for the first part of your journey and then add the distance-based charges for any extra kilometers traveled beyond 2.50 kilometers.
