Renting
a car in Hong Kong is as simple as in any other major city. The question
would be though whether you really need to rent a car to enjoy all that
Hong Kong has to offer.
For
most travellers and even Hong Kong residents there is very little need
to rent a car. Hong Kong has an excellent subway and train system,
coupled with a great public transport system and enough taxi's to keep
anyone happy. If you do decide you want to rent a car then bare in mind
that land in Hong Kong is very expensive and so finding somewhere to
park at a reasonable price can be a tiring process.
Many
malls have parking spaces that can offer you free parking for a period
if you have purchased something over a certain amount so do check. Most
of the major hotels also provide parking spaces but many will charge,
even hotel guests, if you want to park your car for a period of over X
number of hours.
Most
of the major car rental companies such as Avis, Hertz etc have at least
one outlet in Hong Kong. They offer a range of cars from small
run-arounds to more luxury premium models. As with any car rental
you need to carefully check what is included and what is not, especially
with regards to insurance. Unlimited mileage is always a bonus although
in Hong Kong you would be hard pushed to clock up any serious mileage.
The
roads in Hong Kong are excellent quality and all signs are in English
making getting around very easy. As Hong Kong was a former British
colony the steering wheel is on the right of the car as it is in
England.
