How much does it cost to rent a car in road trip? Please be specific, you will get extra points.

The cost of car rental and self-driving in Hong Kong is almost certainly much more expensive than that in the Mainland. The following are the prices of well-known car rental companies (in Hong Kong dollars):

[Ordinary car model]

[luxury car model]

[Multi-purpose vehicle model]

The above prices do not include the surcharge for public holidays in Hong Kong (about 10~30%, with different charges for each company).

We can make a comparison. Take the ordinary Toyota Camry four-door RV as an example. The car condition is older than that of the mainland car rental companies, and the fees of regular well-known car rental companies are often twice or even more higher than that of the mainland (in my impression, renting a Camry in the mainland only costs RMB 3~400 yuan/day, while renting the same car in Hong Kong costs about RMB 880 yuan/day).

Foreigners should be careful when renting a car in Hong Kong! Therefore, some dishonest and unknown small car rental companies in Hong Kong will attract customers at low prices, so be sure to read the terms clearly when signing the contract! ! When they return the car, they often say that the renter damaged the car or crashed the body, extorting thousands or even more than 10 thousand Hong Kong dollars (it is also common for credit cards not to refund the deposit); It's best not to be greedy and cheap, try to find a big company to rent, and feel at ease!

The procedure of renting a car in Hong Kong is very simple. You must have a Hong Kong driver's license (because one country, two systems, mainland driver's license is different from Hong Kong driver's license) or an international driver's license, valid documents and credit cards (prepaid car rental and deposit, etc.). ). Please consult the relevant company directly for specific procedures.

Unlike the mainland, Hong Kong drives with the right steering wheel (the mainland drives with the left steering wheel), so it may take some time to get used to the habit of looking at the location or driving on the road to turn. If an accident occurs while driving in the opposite direction, the driver who made the mistake is likely to be punished with full responsibility (in case of hitting someone, it is impossible to "settle down" in Hong Kong; May go to jail)!

Besides, Hong Kong is sparsely populated, and traffic jams are everywhere except in the New Territories (suburbs), which wastes time. Parking fees are also extremely expensive (parking for more than one hour in 30 yuan is common). In addition to being towed away (you have to pay a tow fee of several hundred dollars, and you have to go through the formalities to pick up the car; It's annoying), the fines for illegal parking are US$/time in 320 yuan and US$/time in 450 yuan (parking is forbidden in the double yellow line area), which will be much more expensive than in the mainland.

In addition, Hong Kong's gasoline should be the most expensive region in China. The price of high-quality gasoline from 2065438 to August 4, 2003 is 17.78 Hong Kong dollars (about RMB 14.22 yuan)/liter (there is no gasoline below 98 in Hong Kong), which will be amazing.

For the above reasons, I really don't recommend renting a car in go on road trip for tourists who are strangers in Hong Kong for only a few days. If you really want to rent a car for a leisurely tour in Hong Kong, you can also consider finding a well-known international car rental company to rent it with the driver at the international airport (the cost will be more expensive) or some reputable car rental companies (mainly renting seven cars), which will be much more convenient.

The above personal views, I hope to help you.
