Are you prepared for the madness of Beijing"s streets? With 20 million people and some outlandish driving skills just being on the road is a unique experience. Lights flash everywhere, there"s something to discover on every corner, and the traffic continues 24 hours a day. Luckily you"ve got a car with a driver so you can sit back and watch the craziness unfold.
Foreigners must obtain a Chinese driving license in order to hire a car. For this reason, and the mental streets, car rental companies hire their vehicles with a driver. You can choose from a huge variety of vehicles, from local and comfortable Chinese brands, to more luxurious Japanese and European cars. Our site lists different car with driver companies like Jinri New Concept Car Rental on Huizhong North Road and Beijing Local Tour in Chaoyang District.
In Beijing you have a range of vehicles to choose from. The comfortable and basic Chinese brand cars start at around €70 for a full day, and it usually costs only a little extra for a trip out to the Great Wall. For a little more money you can get an Audi A6 or VW Passat, and those wanting a S Class Mercedes will pay over €200 for a full day. Making an impression is essential to Chinese business so if you"re meeting a client you might want to consider the higher end of the spectrum.
Most taxi drivers in Beijing don"t speak English and one of the advantages of a car with driver is overcoming this communication problem. You can expect your driver to be professional, speak English, and have a few years experience working with tourists. Any drivers that don"t speak English will have a direct radio link to an interpreter. Many companies also offer guides who speak a variety of languages for an additional cost. That means you could have an Italian, French, German, or Spanish, guide accompanying you on the trip.
In general the Chinese culture does not practice tipping. However, if you"ve had a good driver then you should offer a tip. How much is completely up to you. The best tip you can give is to give some good feedback to the hire company, so they know the driver is a good choice for international visitors.
If there is any problem you should resolve it immediately. Your driver will have a direct radio link with the rental company or you can phone them yourself. They are normally very accommodating with the needs of clients.
Trying to get a taxi in Beijing can be a nightmare. With handling the communication problems and finding one during busy times you waste a lot of time getting stressed. With a car with driver you can explore all the different suburbs of Beijing and enjoy all the famous sites.
An hour north of Beijing the most famous part of the Great Wall is normally included in the day rate of your car with driver. However, for only about €20 more you can explore many different sections of the wall, particularly those that aren"t swarming with tourists. Enjoy the different views, and be glad of a waiting vehicle when your legs are tired from climbing all the steps.
Beijing has so many temples and palaces it"s hard to know where to start. In another city some of these would be must see attractions, but in Beijing they"re just part of the norm. The most impressive is the Forbidden City, home to 960 different buildings and the centerpiece of Chinese culture for 7 centuries. Then there is the Lama Temple, the Palace of Heaven, and a thousand more to explore. Your car with driver is the most convenient method of getting out to all of them.
At one point all of Beijing was like the hutongs, the narrow alleyways where live was lived out on the street. While the city is changing rapidly you can still find them tucked away everywhere. On these streets you"ll find that everybody shouts, smokes, and spits. Which doesn"t sound nice, but there really is an old charm to these areas. Compliment your visit by stopping in a local restaurant and looking completely baffled at the menu.
From here head to the most famous old part of Beijing, Tienanmen square. It"s home to the mausoleum of Chairman Mao, countless majestic buildings, and is officially the largest public square in the world.
As China and Beijing develops a lot of the old Beijing is being lost. But that doesn"t mean that the new side of Beijing isn"t interesting. You"ve never seen so many flashing lights or crazy skyscrapers. Sit back in your vehicle and watch this new world go by. Then get out at the stunning 2008 Olympic stadium.
