Frequently asked questions

How do I find the best prices on a Shanghai Hertz rental car?

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the best rates, no matter when you book. But booking your car ahead of your trip can help keep spending low. Make sure to not add an additional driver and check the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my vehicle in Shanghai?

You'll need to present credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Shanghai?

Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Shanghai is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to go over Hertz's policy to know if there is an additional cost for you.

What kind of Hertz rental car should I get for my trip to Shanghai?

That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Shanghai. Economy or compact vehicles are good for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a mid-size vehicle or SUV will have more room and be a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a little extravagance on their vacation can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in China?

In China you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Hertz car rental?

Hertz does require a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you book your rental for your trip to Shanghai. Please be aware that the deposit may vary greatly based on the make and model of the car.

What is the fuel policy on my Hertz car rental?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full tank policy. You should get into your car with a full tank. However, if you return the rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a filling station before you bring your car back to Hertz. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Shanghai definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities in Shanghai.

Does Shanghai Hertz offer one-way car rentals?

Hertz offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your rental car at a different Hertz. Be aware there is typically an additional charge when you pick one-way.
