How old do you have to be to hire a car in Shanghai?
Hire car rules in Shanghai require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Many rental companies impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car hire cost. Restrictions usually apply to the sorts of cars young people can hire as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to hire a car in Shanghai?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of other coverage. Rules may differ between suppliers, so read through your policy.

Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Shanghai?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Click on our long-term car hire deals page, enter your travel dates and secure a set of wheels to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Shanghai hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Shanghai rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some will charge extra costs. It's better to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Shanghai with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
