Car Rentals in Hong Kong

Renting a car in Hong Kong is not a good idea. It is advisable to avoid it if at all possible, and to opt instead for the use of subways, buses, taxis or maxicabs.

The things that make renting a car in Hong Kong nightmarish are frequent and long traffic jams, parking impossibilities, and driving conditions of the roads. If you decide that renting a car is your only option despite the public transportation alternatives, then it is a good idea to hire a driver for your car which can be readily arranged via most hotels. You want to do so before your arrival for certainty of availability, however.

If you are determined to rent a car in Hong Kong, however, you can use the following agencies:

Alamo (Phone: 1-800-327-9633)
Avis (Phone: 1-800-331-1212)
Budget (Phone: 1-800-527-0700)

Hertz (Phone: 1-800-654-3131)

Also take note that, while your own driver's license is accepted in Hong Kong, you probably want to get an International Driver's Permit to be on the safe side.
