Car rental Chengdu Shuangliu Airport

There are no international car rental companies present at Chengdu Airport but there are counters of local providers. International rental companies, such as Avis, do have an office in the city.

Taxi

There are taxis outside the Arrivals Hall. They don't have a meter and if they do it's broken or the driver refuses to use it. You'll therefore have to negotiate. A reasonable price for a ride into the city is 50 yuan, but the asking price by the driver will initially be significantly higher. A ride to Chengdu's center takes 20-30 minutes.

Airport Parking

There's a large parking lot outside the new terminal. You pay 5 yuan for the first hour and then 2 yuan per half hour. You pay 50 yuan per day. These rates apply to outside parking; the rates for the parking garage are somewhat higher.
