Decided on a Car Rental in Guangzhou? Here’s All You Need to Know:

Guangzhou, a vibrant metropolis in southern China, is best explored with the freedom of a rental car. If you've decided to rent a car in this bustling city, Bookingautos is here to help you navigate the process smoothly. Here's everything you need to know about car rentals in Guangzhou:

Requirements for Renting a Car

  • Valid driver's license (international or Chinese)
  • Passport
  • Credit card for deposit
  • Minimum age requirement (usually 21-25 years old, depending on the rental company)

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Consider factors such as the number of passengers, luggage space, and your planned itinerary. Guangzhou's roads can be congested, so a compact or mid-size car might be more manageable for city driving.

Navigating Guangzhou

Guangzhou's traffic can be challenging for first-time visitors. Consider renting a GPS or using a reliable navigation app. Be prepared for heavy traffic, especially during rush hours.

Parking in Guangzhou

Parking can be limited in the city center. Many hotels offer parking facilities, and there are public parking lots available. Be aware of parking regulations to avoid fines.

Must-Visit Destinations

With your rental car, you can easily explore Guangzhou's attractions, such as the iconic Canton Tower or the serene Baiyun Mountain. Don't miss the opportunity to venture beyond the city limits to nearby areas like Foshan or Shenzhen.

Fuel Options

Most rental cars in Guangzhou use gasoline. Be sure to return the car with a full tank unless otherwise specified in your rental agreement.

Remember, Bookingautos compares offers from all major car rental companies in Guangzhou, ensuring you get the best deal for your needs. With these tips in mind, you're all set for an unforgettable driving experience in Guangzhou!

Early Booking Discount

Guangzhou is a popular holiday destination and the car rental service is in great demand here. Therefore, it is recommended to book a car in advance. When booking online, you know exactly which car, for what price and under what conditions you will get in Guangzhou. The main advantage of early booking is the cost savings. The less time left before the start of the rental, the higher the cost of the rental becomes. The optimal period for booking in rental companies is 6 weeks before receiving the car. If you book early, two days before receiving the car, you can cancel the order without any penalties.

Which car to choose

Choose a car according to the purpose of your trip. You can drive around the city and its surroundings in a compact car Fiat 500 or Ford Focus. These models are the most popular with our customers in Guangzhou.

In the mountains, more powerful transport will be required. Pay attention to the volume of the engine - it must be more than 1.6 liters. An all-wheel drive crossover would be ideal. Opel Insignia Estate will cost €38 per day. By the way, before leaving, do not forget to refuel with a margin. On the rises, the fuel goes one and a half to two times more. Gas stations in mountain villages are rare.

What you need to pay attention to when receiving a car

Before picking up, you are required to carefully inspect the car and point out to the rental company manager for scratches, damage and defects, such as dirty seat upholstery. You should check the ignition and the fuel level in the tank. You need to know the conditions for returning the car - where exactly, with what amount of fuel to return the car.

The rental agreement must include a telephone number to contact the rental company. It is designed so that customers can get help in emergency situations, such as when a car breaks down or in the event of an accident. A call to the rental company should be done first, even before the arrival of the police.

Insurance recommendations

Rental companies in Guangzhou may offer different insurance options. They differ in price and set of options. Here are the basic types:

  • Third Party Liability (TPL)/Third Liability Protection (TLP). This is a third party liability protection. If you are the culprit of an accident, the insurance will compensate for the costs of the victims for you.
  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). This is to protect your vehicle from any damage. She works with a franchise. This is the amount that you will have to pay in case of damage in any case. The company will cover anything over the limit. The insurance does not cover theft.
  • Theft Insurance (TI)/Theft Protection (TP)/Theft Waiver (TW). This is car theft protection. Operates with a franchise.
  • Super Loss Damage Waiver (SLDW)/Theft Protection+Collision Damage Waiver (TP+CDW). Full protection against theft and damage, even if you are the culprit of the accident.
  • Personal Accident Insurance (PAI). This is medical insurance for the driver and passengers.

If you want to save money and choose the cheapest insurance, carefully inspect the car upon receipt. Make sure the machine is not damaged. Guangzhou 2

Fuel prepayment terms

For trips over long distances, it is better to choose the option with the already included payment for a full tank. If you have a short trip, then this service is inappropriate. Be sure to read the fuel policy before making a booking:

If necessary, use the special filter to select the most convenient option for you.

Rent without mileage limit

Before renting a car, you should check with the rental company if there is a limit on the daily mileage for a car. Typically, tourists use a rental car to travel not only around the city, but also to travel to neighboring cities and even countries. If such a restriction exists, it is recommended to choose a rental option where there is no limit. In this case, the total cost of mileage will be lower, since you will not have to pay extra for exceeding the mileage. On our site, in the search results, check the filter "Unlimited mileage" to see the offers you need.

Compare conditions of different rental companies

When choosing a rental car in Guangzhou, you should carefully read all the terms of the rental. This is due to the fact that different companies may differ not only in rental prices, but also in conditions for limiting mileage, the cost of additional services, and the amount of the deposit. To compare rental conditions, it is convenient to use the search and booking system on our website.

How to choose a rental company

Pay attention to the car park. Large and reliable companies regularly buy new cars.

Car pick-up procedure

You should show a voucher and personal documents. A manager draws up a lease agreement. The deposit is blocked on the card.

Before leaving the rental, turn on the ignition, find out the amount of fuel and compare it with what is written in the contract.

Inspect the car carefully. Point out to the manager any paint chips and scuffs. The employee must record the damage. Take a photo yourself: they should show the defect, the number of the car and the employee of the rental company. This will help to avoid problems when returning the car: it will prove that it was not you who torn the upholstery or scratched the fender.
