Is it safe to take a taxi or reserve taxi from hotel ?
Hotel is charging too high price than what we paid while coming from airport.
How much does it usually cost ?
For a 19:30 (7:30 pm) flight from Beijing Daxing Airport, planning your departure time from Hilton Wangfujing depends on traffic and check-in requirements. Beijing traffic can be unpredictable, especially during peak hours.
Departure Time:
- Domestic flight: leave around 16:30–17:00 (2.5–3 hours before departure).
- International flight: leave around 15:30–16:00 (3–4 hours before departure).
This allows buffer time for traffic jams, security checks, and airport procedures. Evening traffic can be moderate to heavy, so it’s safer to leave a bit earlier.
Taxi Options:
- Hotel taxi: Convenient and safe, but typically more expensive than street taxis. Can guarantee a driver who speaks some English and reliable pickup.
- Hailing a taxi on the street or ride-hailing apps (Didi): Usually cheaper than hotel taxis, safe if you use reputable apps, and can pay by credit card or WeChat/Alipay.
Estimated Cost:
- The distance from Hilton Wangfujing to Daxing Airport is approximately 50 km.
- Typical taxi fare: 200–250 CNY during normal traffic. Hotel taxis may charge slightly higher, 250–300 CNY.
- Ride-hailing apps like Didi may give a similar or slightly lower fare than hotel taxi.
Tips:
- Book a taxi or Didi in advance for your chosen pickup time to ensure availability.
- Check traffic updates before leaving; you can adjust departure time accordingly.
- If traveling with luggage, confirm your taxi can accommodate it.
Overall, taking a hotel taxi is safe and reliable, especially for international travelers, but if cost is a concern, booking via Didi app is a good alternative. Always leave ample buffer time for evening traffic to avoid stress.
