Chinese Citizen

For Chinese citizens, you need the following documents:

• Your Chinese Driver's license. If you don't have one, check my experience to get a driver's license.
• Your Chinese national ID. If you don't have one.... Ops, are you really a Chinese citizen? Just kidding.
• Your Hukou booklet. This may be inconvenient since who will carry the Hukou booklet while flying? You know, the whole family has only one booklet.
• International Credit. They will freeze 5000 RMB (600 USD) in your card in case there is any damage to their car. Please note that most card people in China are not credit - they are debit card. Make sure a Visa or MasterCard logo appear on your card before you claim it as an international credit card.

Non-Chinese Citizen

You also need a Chinese driver's license. Chances are, you only have international driver's license. You needs to go to the Public Security Bureau  (PBS) to claim a temporary Chinese driver's license. Oh. Wait. To get it, you have to get a Temporary Chinese Residence Card besides your International driver's license and a passport. Then, how to get a Temporary Chinese Residence Card? Well, I don't know yet. Let me check it out.....

Then claim your car, drive, and return it.

They have Volkswagen Gol and Sail, all for 225 RMB per day, with 200 KM allowance included.
