International Driving Permit China: What You Need to Know
International Driving Permits are not valid in mainland China
The Beijing Municipal Government confirms that an International Driving Permit cannot be used to drive in mainland China. Foreign visitors must obtain a Chinese-issued driving licence or temporary driving permit before driving.
Self-drive car rentals require Chinese driving authorization
Foreign visitors who want to drive a rental vehicle must apply for a temporary driving permit using their passport, foreign driving licence, and a Chinese translation of the licence. The permit is issued by the traffic police department and allows eligible visitors to drive rented vehicles in mainland China.
Most international visitors choose a chauffeur service instead
Since an IDP does not permit self-driving in mainland China, many short-term visitors use a licensed local driver rather than applying for a Chinese driving permit. China Car Rentals arranges licensed drivers for business travel, sightseeing, airport transfers, full-day car rentals, and cross-border transfers to Hong Kong and Macau.

FAQ
Can foreigners rent a car in China?
Foreign driving licences and international permits are not valid in mainland China. Hiring a car with a licensed local driver — the service China Car Rentals provides — is the standard solution for international visitors in China.
Can tourists drive in China?
Technically yes — tourists can apply for a temporary Chinese driving permit, valid for up to 90 days and tied to their visa duration. It requires a certified Chinese translation of the home licence, a medical exam, and an in-person visit to the local Vehicle Management Office — a multi-day process most short-term visitors skip in favor of a licensed chauffeur through China Car Rentals.
Can I drive from mainland China into Hong Kong or Macau?
No — self-drive rentals cannot cross into Hong Kong or Macau. China Car Rentals provides licensed cross-border chauffeurs who handle the crossing for you, with all permits and documentation included.
How much does a car with driver cost in China?
China Car Rentals' airport transfers start from $95. Full-day car rental with driver starts from $195 for 8 hours and 100km. Cross-border transfers to Hong Kong or Macau start from $395.
Is it possible to book without WeChat or Alipay?

Which cities have English-speaking drivers?

How far in advance should I book a driver in China?
Standard bookings with China Car Rentals require 24 hours notice. Canton Fair periods and peak travel dates require 2–3 weeks advance booking. Same-day bookings are available subject to driver availability.
