It would take about 3 hours from Hong Kong to Guangzhou.
For more car hire info you can phone The Hong Kong Automobile Association (tel: 2739 5273; fax: 2369 0863;
website: www.fia.com/tourisme/infoclub/hkong.htm) can provide more information.

Or you can take the coach. There are bus and coach links to destinations on the Chinese mainland. Citybus (tel: 2736 3888) and CTS (tel: 2853 3888) offer coach services to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, departing from the China Hong Kong City Terminal, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, and other pick-up points, including the Island Shangri-La Hotel in Admiralty.

I would not even consider driving myself. The trafic is a comlete mess, the roads are not very good and the priority rules do not excist. In fact there is only one poriority rile; the bigger you are the higher your priority. Use public transportation; much cheaper. Consider what happens if you get involved in an accident. I think too risky business.
