| Hey that is a good question! I guess that makes it two questions: A) Can you rent a car from a rental company? B) Can you hire a local person to drive you around? |

| In, addition, you might want to consider a Taxi for most of your intra-city travel.....Hotel to resturants, hotel to shopping or scenic site etc..... Taxi fares are very inexpensive (by most western standards) and service convenient in most Chinese cities !! |

| i have hired cars but not through an actual rental agency. more like a black taxi. i remember seeing a listing on timeout magazine. better to hire a car with a driver in my opinion =) |

| hi angelic!!!! thanks!!!! and what about traffic??? is it very hard?? do they drive on the right or on the left??? do they respect other drivers and pedestrians???? |

| Yes, traffic in many cities are quite hard. Especially during the rush hour. We drive on the right, and most of drivers respect others. |

| Don't drive in China's cities if you have a weak heart. And pedestrians have to give way to cars. |

| If you are new to China, heed the advice of the locals - don't try driving on your own in Chinese cities. The traffic rules are there but not well-implemented. Tho' there is order amidst chaos, don't try driving unless u wanna the experience. If u knock someone down, I don't know what to addvise u ! I think the Chinese tend to setle things amongst themselves rather than report to authorities for settlement. So unless u can fend for yourself, don't try. Take the cab, bus or trains or if necessary rent a chauffeur-driven car. |
