Rental cars in China

China is waiting for you. There’s no end to the new experiences you can have once you climb into that rental car. To really get the most out of your trip, here are a few basics that everybody should know. Just one of the countries located in Asia, China has loads to offer every sort of traveler. No trip here could be considered complete without stopping off at the nation’s capital, Beijing.

With your own rental car, it’ll be a cinch to get out and discover this destination’s most exciting sights! China boasts some incredible attractions like the following:

• Great Wall of China (35 miles from the center of Beijing)
• Qiangling Shan Park (17 miles from the center of Guiyang)
• Great Hall of the People (3 miles from the center of Chongqing)

With almost endless beautiful highways and tempting open roads, many travelers choose to turn their China vacations into driving adventures. If you’re embarking on a road trip of epic proportions, you’ll want to know which cities to add to your bucket list. Try to cross off as many of this place’s top destinations as you can:

• Beijing (population of 11,716,600)
• Guangzhou (population of 11,071,400)
• Shenzhen (population of 10,358,400)

Here are our suggestions on how to hop behind the wheel of a rental car with some savings in your pocket:

• Investigate as many different deals as possible (we make that task a breeze!);
• Register for our Price Drop Alert email and immediately discover when prices become cheaper for your desired location;
• Before you pick up your keys and get behind the wheel, take a look at both airport and non-airport pickup and drop-off locations to ensure you’re getting your hands on the best deal in town;
• If your pickup and drop-off dates are not set in stone, try scoring a better price by choosing different days in your search;
• So you don’t end up paying late fees or for a whole extra day, aim to keep your pickup and drop-off times as similar as possible;
• Some places reward you big time for paying upfront — keep an eye open for these deals;
• Last of all, secure your favorite set of wheels as soon as you possibly can to bag yourself a truckload of savings!

A full-size car is the most popular rental category in China, and for many reasons too. More spacious than your standard car, their powerful engines can take you around Shanghai and Beijing comfortably and easily. They also come with little luxuries like deluxe leather seats and GPS. Take your pick of our excellent range of wheels and get ready to pack the trunk with provisions for your next unforgettable road trip.

Sometimes the journey is more significant than the destination, which makes choosing the right car important. If you’re about to embark on an epic road trip around China, a comfortable SUV could be a good choice. If you’d like the cheapest possible price and plan on staying mostly in the city, an economy car is a clever pick. All you need to do is choose what’s the best fit, pack up the car, and hit the wide, open road.

Generally, your chosen car rental company will charge the amount stated on the fine to your credit card, including local taxes and surcharges. Alternatively, they may share your contact details with local law enforcement agencies, who’ll then send a fine directly to you.
