Car rental in Guangzhou

Exploring by Car

• Right-hand vs Left-hand Traffic: Unlike the UK, China drives on the right-hand side of the road. Additionally, the steering wheel is on the left side of the car.
• International Driving Permit: UK drivers will need an International Driving Permit along with their UK driver's license to rent and drive a vehicle in China.
• Traffic Density: Guangzhou, being a populous city, has heavy traffic especially during peak hours. Plan your travel accordingly.

Car Class Recommendations

A compact car class is typically recommended for Guangzhou due to its crowded streets and often limited parking. However, if you're planning on venturing out into the surrounding countryside, an SUV might provide a more comfortable ride.

Parking

Parking in Guangzhou can be a challenge, especially in the city centre. Be sure to check the parking regulations for each area. Many hotels offer parking facilities which may be the easiest option for travellers.

Attraction Sites

With the ease and flexibility of your rental car, there are numerous attractions in Guangzhou that are a must-visit:

• Canton Tower: Offering stunning views of the city.
• Yuexiu Park: Houses the Five Rams sculpture and the Zhenhai Tower.
• Sacred Heart Cathedral: A gothic architectural marvel right in the heart of the city.
• Shamian Island: Known for its historical Western-style mansions and its tranquil atmosphere.

Climate

Guangzhou has a humid subtropical climate, which differs significantly from the UK's typically cooler, more temperate climate. Be prepared for hot, humid summers and mild, relatively dry winters.
