Cheap Shanghai Hire Car & Car Rentals

What’s that? You’d rather take on a labyrinth of sedans and sporty coupes than cruise the open road with nothing before you but the horizon? We hear you, mate. Wide terrain is such a snooze.

Well, over on the central coast of China, Shanghai will give your driving gloves a run for your money. Whether you’re sealing a business deal or scouting the region for the best sights to see with the help of four wheels, driving a car hire in Shanghai is an experience you won’t forget—especially as you roll by iconic skyscrapers and quiet temples.

Go Cruising

While the term “the Bund” might make you think of delicious cake drizzled in icing, please don’t lick this waterfront boardwalk. As fellow travellers get to the Huangpu River on foot, breeze right by in one of Wotif’s Shanghai car hire options.

West of the famous footpath, Zhongshan East 1st Road is lined with glistening high-rises and historic landmarks like the Pudong Development Bank. Love those vintage vibes? Turn your wheel west of the Bund and weave your way to the Old French Concession to stuff your face with croissants and a side of dumplings.

As the food coma takes over, stay in historic Shanghai hotels close by.

Road Trip!

Do you kick it old school—like, really old school? Take your Shanghai car rental on a day trip out to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, located about 46km west of the city centre. Since the 4th century, Zhujiajiao has been home to royalty and fishermen alike. And if it’s good enough for the Ming Dynasty, it’s good enough for you!

Bonus: Trade your car for a gondola and cruise down the canals, sipping tea and shopping as you float under arched bridges.

To explore the “Paris of the East” in style, book Shanghai holidays with Wotif. Mix and match top accommodation and airfares that fit your schedule. Add some sweet getaway wheels and you’re ready to roll!
