Jinshanling car

Hello, I need a car for a day trip to Jinshanling, early in the morning to avoid the groups... 2 pers in June.

Please tell me the price. Thanks.

For a day trip from Beijing to Jinshanling Great Wall for 2 people in June, hiring a private car is a common and convenient option, especially if you want to start early and avoid the large tour groups.

Here are some details you should consider:

  • The distance from central Beijing to Jinshanling is approximately 150 km, taking about 2.5–3 hours one way depending on traffic.
  • Most private car services offer a full-day round trip (roughly 8–10 hours) including waiting time at the Great Wall.
  • Prices vary depending on the type of car, service provider, and whether you book through an agency or online platform. Typical price range for a standard sedan is between 700–1200 CNY (approximately 100–170 USD) for a full day.
  • If you prefer a larger or more luxurious vehicle (SUV or van), prices can go up to 1500–2000 CNY (about 220–270 USD).

Additional notes:

  • Booking early in advance is recommended, especially for June, as it is a popular travel month.
  • Some drivers or agencies may include entry tickets to Jinshanling or optional guide services, so clarify what is included when booking.
  • Confirm the departure time with the driver—leaving around 6–6:30 AM from Beijing is ideal to reach Jinshanling before the main tour groups arrive.
  • Payment is usually made in cash (CNY) or via Alipay/WeChat Pay if you book through local services, though some international platforms accept credit cards.

In summary, expect to pay roughly 700–1200 CNY for a standard sedan for 2 people, full day round trip, with early morning departure. Prices can vary slightly depending on negotiation, season, and vehicle type.
