Car Rental Zhongguancun

There's heaps to do in Zhongguancun, but venture farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Book a set of wheels and you can meander around the surrounding area at your leisure. Add these fantastic drives to your to-do list:

• Make your way to Chengde for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Roughly 120 miles from Zhongguancun, it's home to loads of great sights, including Bishu Shanzhuang.
• About 75 miles away, Tianjin is also popular with wanderers. Allow time to get to Tianjin Eye while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this buzzing city.
• Venture into the outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Beidaihe Beach. It's 170 miles from Zhongguancun.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in China, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
