What happens if I need to cancel my Shanghai car reservation?
Cancelling a prepaid car booking at least six hours before pickup should allow for your money back. But this is not always the case. It's worth looking through your booking details and cancellation policy. Still stuck for answers? Head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Shanghai?
Jump behind the wheel of a full-size car and you'll quickly understand why it's the most popular choice in Shanghai. With seating for up to five people and ample storage space, you'll love all that room while driving around. These vehicles also often have nice touches like leather seats and sunroofs. But your options don't end there. We've also got economy hatchbacks, standard sedans, premium SUVs and more.
Where can I go on a road trip from Shanghai?
With your own wheels, adventuring around the surrounding areas is as easy as putting your foot on the accelerator. Shanghai is a wonderful place to start, but there's loads more to experience in the region. Grab the keys to a home, toss your luggage in the trunk and check out these other terrific locations:

  • Boasting attractions and activities galore, Hangzhou is around 161 kilometres from Shanghai. First pit stop? Head for West Lake, one of the city's biggest highlights.
  • Around 88 kilometres away, Suzhou is another destination worth sticking on your itinerary. Check out Jinji Lake during your stay.
  • No holiday is complete without taking in Huangshan Mountains. This much-loved nature spot is approximately 338 kilometres from Shanghai. Relax and breathe in the fresh air!

Where can I find a Shanghai car rental if I am younger than 25?
