Auto Europe Launches Chauffeur Driven Car Rental in China

Auto Europe has added China to its extensive list of 6,000 plus car hire destinations across the world, but this latest addition has a twist! In respect of the fact that only holders of a Chinese driving license are allowed to drive in China, all Chinese hire cars are provided complete with a chauffeur to take you where you need to go. The service is available immediately but Auto Europe strongly recommends that anyone travelling in August for the Beijing Olympics (8-24 August 2008) reserves a car as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Auto Europe offers car hire in China in ten cities: Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Qingdao, Sanya, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Bookings can be made for either 4 hours from GBP41.50, or 8 hours from GBP78, and include 80 or 150km respectively. Prices include taxes but local charges such as parking and gratuities need to be made during your visit. Your driver will pick you up from a chosen hotel, airport or station and drop you off at the same place at the end of your allocated slot.

The service is available online at http://www.auto-europe.co.uk, simply select the top 'Car Hire' tab and then 'Chauffeur or Transfer Services'. Alternatively, bookings can be managed on the Auto Europe 24/7 freephone number 0800 358 1245. Chauffeur and transfer options are also available (but not legally required) in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and here in the UK.

Auto Europe, the independent traveler's friend, is proud to offer its new China car hire service and backs it with the same excellent service promise customers receive when renting a car anywhere else in the world. Customers can enjoy 24/7 access to the 0800-358-1245 freephone number answered by a real person, a best price guarantee and no cancellation or amendment fees for any booking changed with 48 hours or more notice.
