Exceptional service with English-speaking chauffeurs

Since your comfort is their top priority, StarRides chauffeurs have been carefully selected and trained. A huge plus is that many of them are able to speak English, a skill that's certainly appreciated by those not fluent in Chinese – you can specify your language preferences when making your booking.

They can help book a variety of services, including luxury hotels, tours, or even a private jet.

Luxury Mercedes-Benz cars

After a long flight, all you need is some respite – an easy fix, if you're lounging in a luxury Mercedes-Benz car.
