According to the classification of the Road Transportation Law, hire is also positioned as a type of taxi. However, there are some obvious differences between the two, so please understand the differences before using a car.
First of all, hires are completely reservation-based and are mostly used for transporting company executives and overseas VIPs, as well as for special events and festive occasions, and are mostly contracted for corporate use. As for taxis, they are generally available on the road by beckoning, and are not as private as hires.
Hire are more expensive compared to taxis, as they are designed for premium transportation. However, they offer enhanced hospitality services, making them suitable for entertainment and other special occasions.
