KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Beijing
- Vehicles from car rentals in Beijing provide several advantages over public transportation. A rental car allows travelers to plan their own itineraries and explore the city at their own pace without being restricted by fixed bus or subway schedules. Some of the attractions in the region include Tiananmen Square, Lama Temple, and Jingshan Park. Furthermore, car rentals in Beijing provide a cost-effective solution for families or larger groups since sharing the expenses among passengers can be more affordable than individual public transportation fares.
- For those flying to Beijing for a vacation or a business trip, you will have the option of landing at either Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) or Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), as these are the main airports serving the city. At PEK, you will find the car rental counters located close to the baggage claim areas in the arrivals halls of both Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Once you've disembarked from your flight at PKX, you'll access the car rental counters in the arrivals hall of the main terminal. The rental counters at PKX are operated by several major car rentals in Beijing, providing a wide range of vehicle options.
- Driving in Beijing can be challenging, especially for those accustomed to strict adherence to traffic rules. Driving in Beijing is often characterized by a combination of chaotic traffic flow and a lack of strict enforcement of regulations. Despite the fact that there are traffic laws in place, many drivers frequently disregard them. One of the most noticeable aspects of the driving experience is the increase in aggressive driving practices, including abrupt lane changes, honking, and disregard for pedestrian crossings. In addition, motorcyclists and cyclists often weave through traffic, adding a layer of complexity to the already congested roads. While operating your vehicle from Beijing car rentals, you should be cautious to avoid further contributing to the chaotic driving environment.
- Driving in Beijing can be chaotic during rush hour, as it features intense traffic congestion and heavy commuter flow, usually occurring during the morning and evening peak hours. The morning rush hour occurs from around 7:00 am to 9:00 am, while the evening rush hour begins from around 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. These periods feature a significant portion of the region's population traveling to and from work, leading to bottlenecks and long travel times on major roads such as the Beijing 2nd Ring Road and Beijing 3rd Ring Road. To mitigate rush hour traffic congestion, drivers can opt for minor roads or plan trips ahead of these peak periods.
