If you want to lease a car, the best option is probably to hire a car with an English-speaking driver. This usually costs between $800 and $1,100 per month. Typically the best places to find information on cars for hire are in the listings of City Weekend (www.cityweekend.com.cn) or That’s Beijing (www.thatsbj.com). Most car rental companies will not rent vehicles to foreigners directly. To rent a car, foreigners either must find a local Beijinger to rent the car for them, or get their company to rent the car. To be listed as a driver for a rental car, foreigners must have a Chinese driver’s licence, a valid passport, a Beijing residence permit, and place a cash deposit.
