  • Sort out your rental with Hertz, a leading provider at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport car hire policy, whether you go with Hertz or another supplier. Some companies offer it as a paid extra instead of including it.

  • Look into booking a one-way rental. You might be able to land a good deal if the provider needs to move cars between branches. Discover the best available rates for a car for rent in SHA by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car hire in Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. No hidden refueling charges at drop-off either.

  • Want to explore freely without worrying about the number of miles you clock up? Find rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like without the extra costs.

  • Shift into explore mode once you've grabbed the keys to your SHA car hire. You'll have the freedom to go wherever you want, but if you're headed to central Shanghai, it'll take you around 20 minutes to cover the 14 kilometres or so east.

  • You can also pick up a car hire in Shanghai. If you don't need a set of wheels as soon as you land, wait until you're in the city and save on rental costs.
