Hi!

I am planning to go for a trip around Yunnan, and as we are a group of people we thought about renting a van or a car. Do you know if we need any special permit? and where could we rent it? We don't want to hire a guide or a driver...

Thanks!

If you don't have a Chinese drivers license, you cannot rent a car.

you have to have the Chinese drivers license, or can not drive the any cars, we have 7 seats business car, and more cars and buses, but you have to offer us deposit.

You can rent a car/minibus and driver. This can end up costing not much more than hiring a car.

It is also more convenient, and takes out a lot of risk, especially if you have not learned the rules of the road (and I don't mean traffic law) in China yet.

However, Spring festival is a difficult time.

I've been calling many places and everything is booked or too expensive because of the Spring festival. I need a car just for one or two days to go to Anning and around Kunming. 4 people.

Any idea?

See if you can negotiate a day rate to hire a regular taxi, off meter.

We have done this in the past.

Charly,

Thanks!
