FAQ
How can I pay for my rental car?
Payment for a rental car should preferably be made by credit card. It is possible to pay by debit card, however at the rental counter you will need a credit card issued to the main driver in order to secure the deposit for your rental car.
Who is allowed to drive the rental car and what are the conditions?
A rental car can be driven by a main driver, that is the person registered in the booking. Additional drivers may be added to the reservation at extra fee. The main and additional drivers are to present a valid driving license, which they have been in possession of for at least one year (please refer to the rental conditions), and a valid identity card/passport. Additionally, the main driver is to present a valid credit card issued in their name.
Do I have to pick up and return the car at any time? What happens if I am late for pick-up?
We recommend that you pick up the car at the agreed time as the availability of the car cannot be guaranteed in case of a delay. As a rule, local suppliers keep vehicles available up to 30 or 60 minutes after the agreed time. If a delay is inevitable, please contact the rental agency (you will find their contact details on the voucher).
What documents are required to pick up the vehicle?
When picking up the vehicle, the main driver is to present the following documents: the printed voucher, their identity card or passport; their driving's license and their valid credit card.

If travelling to China, the city of Shanghai is a must. With more than 23 million inhabitants, the metropolis is one of the largest cities in the world and, as a business and business center, is closer to a European city than anywhere else in China. Due to the size, visitors are hardly around a rental car in Shanghai. The sheer size of Shanghai can not be handled in any other way. The easiest and cheapeast way to get a rental car is via the internet. Especially the online portal HAPPYCAR in the net is ideal to compare the different offers and to find the cheapest car for Shanghai.

 

 General information about Shanghai

 The name of Shanghai translates into German with the words "up to the sea" and is synonymous with the status of the city as the gate of China to the world. The origins of Shanghai can be traced back very far. As early as 4000 BC, there were first settlers in the place, which today is one of the largest cities in the world. The first documentary mention of Shanghai as a village can be dated to the year 960. Almost 300 years later, the village was merged with two other neighboring villages, which formed the basis for today's metropolis.

 Modern Shanghai today consists of two different components. The center resembles a western city, where many shopping malls and commercial buildings are located. Large skyscrapers and skyscrapers dominate the cityscape here. Opposite are the outskirts of Shanghai. These extend 30 miles into the surrounding area of ​​the city and are more like rural areas. Almost 8 of the city's 23 million inhabitants live on the outskirts of Shanghai.

 

 Explore with car hire Shanghai

 

The city of Shanghai is an important cultural center of China and has a variety of theaters and museums. One of the most famous museums is the Shanghai Museum. This is the fourth largest museum in China, exhibiting in 10 galleries, works of Chinese art and history. In total there are over 120,000 exhibits Shanghai Museum.

 The best way to reach the museum is with the help of your own rental car. If you want to make the car rental in Shanghai easy, you can book your rental car in advance from the comfort of your own home. On the net, the providers can be easily compared on site and sorted according to their own ideas. Customers can set a variety of parameters according to which their future rental car will be listed in Shanghai. Purely financial aspects can be set as well as certain comfort requirements. In this way, there is practically always the right rental car.

 Money, which was saved by the favorable booking of the rented car, can be used later wonderfully in the Shanghai trip. Anyone who enjoys shopping will definitely find what they are looking for in this Chinese city. For shopping, especially the shopping street Nanjing Lu invites. This is not for nothing as one of the most famous shopping streets in the world. Visitors will find a variety of shops, cinemas and other restaurants. Many of the huge department stores are reminiscent of the city of Hong Kong and should have something to suit every need. And even if you do not plan to spend large sums of money, Nanjing Lu, with its many colorful neon signs, is worth a visit simply for its looks.

 

 The surroundings of the city

 

 Even if there is enough to admire in Shanghai itself, it is not wrong to take advantage of the advantages of a rental car. With a car you can easily explore the surrounding area of ​​the city and look at the rural environment in the outskirts. In addition, there are also some interesting neighboring cities in the vicinity of Shanghai. Cities like Wuxi, Suzhou or Changzhou are always worth a visit. The trip to the cities can be combined with a detour to the Tai Hu. It is the third largest freshwater lake in China, known for its perforated and bizarrely shaped limestone. The so-called Tai Hu stones are used throughout China in horticulture.
