Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my China car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours before the collection time, most prepaid bookings offer a full refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to understand the rental policy. Check your itinerary for the finer details or visit our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in China?
Cost-effective, zippy and good on mileage, it's no surprise that compact cars are the most popular type of rental in China. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is perfect for city adventures or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from China?
When you've ticked off the great sights in China, there's loads more to discover in the region. Grab the keys to a rental car, toss your bags in the trunk and get out on the open road. We've come up with some road trips we're confident you'll enjoy:
  • Make your way to Houston for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. About 105 kilometres from China, it has loads of amazing attractions such as Toyota Centre.

How do I find the best car rental deals in China with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare rates, offers and providers, and to check customer ratings. Combine your China car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in China?
Rental vehicle rules in China require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental outlets impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the sorts of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in China?
Before you can get behind the wheel in China, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card. If you decline to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in China?
Yes, and the great news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Discover our long-term car rental deals in China and hit the road with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a China car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the China rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
