Alipay, WeChat Pay, and the small handful of foreign cards that still work, set up before you even meet your driver.
Set up the wallets
Alipay and WeChat Pay cover most daily transactions. Link cards, verify identity, and test a small payment before your first full day.
Where cash still helps
Cash is a useful backup for tiny vendors, remote villages, and moments when verification or network access fails.
Receipts and limits
Card limits, foreign exchange fees, and wallet verification levels can all affect larger purchases.
