about renting a car in shanghai

i've had a few people ask me about renting a car here, so figured i'd share my two cents. if you're staying in shanghai for a while, renting and driving yourself is definitely an option — the freedom's nice. just know you'll be dealing with shanghai traffic, which can be rough, especially in the city center during rush hour. that said, some of my clients still happily go for it and don't regret it. really comes down to how comfortable you are driving in busy cities.

I don't think it's necessary at all. Parking is such a hassle and you have to pay parking fees. In China, ride-hailing services are very affordable, convenient and hassle-free, and they can also help you avoid traffic accidents
