Car Rental

It is possible for confident tourists with a healthier budget to rent a car in Kunming.  Rental prices range from 120 - 300 RMB per day for a four-seat vehicle.  It is wise to rent a car with a driver who can also serve as tour guide.  This tip can save a great deal of money on the deposit, which is approximately 500 - 1000 RMB for a car with a driver, but increases to over 5000 RMB for a vehicle without one!  Foreigners must also have a Chinese driver’s license to legally drive in China. Apparently international drivers’s licenses are not acceptable.
