About us
A hometown welcome, wherever you are from
We are a Shanghai-based private car service built around a simple idea: a new country feels a lot smaller when someone local is on your side.
The name
Why "Julie's Hometown"
Julie is our founder's daughter. We named the business after her to keep it personal, and "hometown" is Shanghai — the city our team knows best and loves showing to visitors.
Think of it as being shown around by a friend who lives here. Not a scripted tour, not a queue at a taxi rank, and not a driver you cannot communicate with. Just a local who knows the quickest route at rush hour, the quiet entrance to a garden, and the restaurant worth the detour.
That is the standard we hold every booking to, whether it is a 20-minute airport transfer or a five-day itinerary.
- Small team, direct contact. The person who answers your enquiry plans your trip. No call centre, no hand-offs.
- Written before you commit. Price, vehicle, itinerary and inclusions are confirmed in writing before any payment.
- Built for international guests. English communication, international payment options and help with local apps if you want it.
- Accountable. A licensed operator and one 24/7 contact for anything that changes.
