Shanghai Driving Stress Level: 8/10

Many people flying into the city of Shanghai opt to hire a car complete with driver. This is becoming an increasingly popular option, and local drivers have the advantage of being able to easily navigate the city and read the Chinese road signs. Driving in the city centre can be hectic at times and local Chinese drivers are not the most considerate.


 


Shanghai Pudong Airport Car Rental Recommendations


 
IHateTaxis.com does not recommend a Shanghai Pudong Airport car rental.

Foreign visitors are not encouraged to drive cars in China. Foreign residents can bring their own cars into the country but this involves a huge bureaucratic effort. Expat drivers may need a physical examination and a written exam of local traffic rules to obtain a local license from the vehicle administrative department (VAD) under the Municipal Public Security Bureau. They must already possess a valid International Driving Permit.


The license is temporary for residents staying less than a year, permanent if longer. To obtain it, they must present their original driving license and a translated version, passport and local residence certificate.


All foreign visitors who want to travel within China by car are advised to hire a car with a local driver.
