Can I Use Uber in China?
Last reviewed: 2026-09-08
Detailed Answer
Read this if you need Uber yes/no—not Didi screen-by-screen setup (taxi guide, transport essential).
| Expectation (Uber abroad) | Mainland reality |
|---|---|
| Open Uber, GPS works | Open Didi + Amap pin in Chinese |
| English address OK | Chinese characters for drivers |
| Apple Pay | Alipay / WeChat Pay in app |
| Any curbside pickup | Airports: signed pickup zones or taxi queue |
DiDi Global may work with some overseas numbers—install and test before flying, not at PVG curb.
Hong Kong/Macau use different apps—this page is mainland only.
