Request a vetted security driver for Shenzhen.
Security drivers in Shenzhen provide operations-controller-tracked transfers from Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport and corporate corridor cover across Futian CBD, Nanshan technology corridor, and Qianhai financi. Vetted drivers hold PSB operator certification; all vehicles use pre-planned Shennan Road and Ring Road corridor routes.

Security service companies need a licence from the provincial-level public security authority, and security guard certificates are issued only to Chinese citizens.
