Whether you are interested in cultural experiences or city-themed explorations, having a rental car ensures that you can visit these sites in comfort and convenience. With so much to see and do, renting a car will help you make the most of your time in and around Beijing, allowing for a more personalised and enjoyable travel experience.

10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Beijing

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're after an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to locate the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often allows you to access lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a reasonable balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years of age may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel arrangements, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge; however, it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payments.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can protect you from unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your trip. Adding car hire insurance while booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
