Hainan Island go on road trip Roundabout Raiders Hainan Island Self-driving Matters needing attention

If you are going to travel to Hainan Island by car, you must first have a car, either your own car or a rented car. Either way, the following information will definitely help you. Let's take a look at Bian Xiao.

What's the difference between driving/renting a car?

Self-driving is more expensive, and the entry and exit fee 1000 yuan. It takes about 2.5 hours to ferry the car from xuwen county (haian port) to Haikou (xiuying port) by car. The cost of a car with 5-7 seats is around 450 yuan, and it only includes the driver's ticket. The entourage in the car should get off and buy their own tickets. Tickets to 42 yuan. Remember to pay attention to the weather forecast in advance. In case of cloudy or foggy weather, navigation in Qiongzhou Strait will be suspended, and cars and attendants will not be able to take the ferry to the island normally. Before entering the island, I suggest you fill up your car in Xuwen. Oil on the island is more expensive.

Rent a car

Renting a car on the island is very convenient and affordable. The daily rental price of a five-seater car is between 85- 120. But there is a precondition that the rented car can't leave Hainan Island. In Hainan, there are many companies that provide car rental services. Besides CAR Inc and Ehi Car Rental, there are also third-party companies that rent cars online. I suggest you choose an online car rental company, paying more attention to service and after-sales. But be careful to avoid private offline leasing companies.

How to make an online appointment for car selection date/pick up the car shop (or deliver the car to your door) → select the car online → place an order → arrive at the shop → submit three certificates (ID card/driver's license/credit card) → inspect the car → confirm the car with the staff → brush the pre-authorization → get the key and driver's license → finish.

About pre-authorization (deposit)

It is noted that all car rental companies require to pay the car deposit (ranging from 3,000 to 8,000 yuan depending on the vehicle type) and the violation deposit (2,000 yuan) in advance.

Vehicle deposit. This amount is paid by credit card, and cash, debit card or savings card are not allowed. What if there is no credit card? You can use your colleague's credit card, but you must be present when you swipe your card.

Illegal deposit. Simply put, it is to deduct all the traffic violation tickets you have generated during the car rental process from this part. You can't use cash for this part of the money.

It is also necessary to use a credit card. If there is no violation, the pre-authorization will be automatically revoked after 30 days, and this part of the money will be automatically returned to your card. You don't have to worry about the refund of the deposit.

The difference between basic insurance and deductible.

What is basic insurance? The basic insurance is compulsory insurance, seat insurance, three risks and pilferage, which is often referred to as all risks. As long as it is a leasing company with a certain scale, it will buy basic insurance for the car.

When booking a car rental online, there will be

Generally speaking, the option of "no deductible" means that if the car is scratched or something, you basically don't have to bear the compensation fee (the maintenance fee is within 1500 yuan, and the insurance company will basically handle it if it exceeds this amount). Unless you have confidence in yourself and other drivers, I suggest you buy this service. Although the money is not much, it can save a lot of trouble and is very reassuring.

Road conditions+oil prices About road conditions

At present, there are three expressways in Hainan Island: East Expressway around the island, West Expressway around the island and Central Expressway. Now all the high-speed lines are connected, and there is no toll station on the high-speed line, so there is no need to pay tolls.

About oil price

Cars generally use 93 # gasoline from 7.8 yuan /L, which is about 1 yuan more expensive than Chinese mainland. In terms of oil price, Hainan's oil price should be the highest in the country.

How to choose a car

When renting a car, you should choose a vehicle with appropriate displacement according to the road you are driving. If the itinerary includes routes in central Hainan (such as Wuzhishan City), it is recommended to choose Kia Lion Run/Smart Run, urban SUV and high-speed delivery, which may consume a little more fuel in the central region. If you take the eastern and western routes, you can usually call a taxi. Some sections are all open to traffic at high speed, and the road conditions are completely fine. Calling a taxi can totally handle it.

Precautions for driving 1. It is best to hand in the detailed information of Hainan before going to road trip, including the latest information of transportation, catering, accommodation and scenic spots, so as to estimate the accurate cost budget.

2. There are 107 gas stations along the eastern and western highways, every few tens of kilometers, but there are fewer vehicles on the western expressway. There are large repair stations at the gas stations along Qionghai and Wanning expressways, so there will be repair shops not far below the general highway intersection, but mainly for tire repair.

3. The road from Sanya to Wuzhishan and Jianfengling is a mountain road. The road conditions are good, but there are many bends. Everyone should be careful. Hainan's national roads are all good, with few cars and people and good scenery. If you are not in a hurry, you can take more national highways and less highways.

There are many tourists during the Golden Week, so it is recommended to book accommodation in advance. Accommodation in Sanya, Haikou can be booked through travel agencies or websites, or tents and other equipment can be prepared to prepare for camping in the mountains.

5. Hainan has no business outlets of China Merchants Bank; The business outlets of ICBC, CCB and Bank of Communications are only in big cities such as Haikou and Sanya. Only the Agricultural Bank of China has it in all counties and cities, but there must be no ATM machines in too remote places. It is recommended to carry an agricultural bank card.

6. Remember to check the vehicle before departure. Remember to check whether there is oil leakage (see if there are traces of oil and sewage on the ground under the car); Measure the tire pressure to see if it is appropriate; Check the oil condition (pull out the dipstick to see if the oil color on it is normal and the oil height is appropriate); Don't forget to check the spare tire.
