There is no greater driving adventure than taking a self-driving tour across China. It's exciting, memorable, and educational.
Although China is not a signatory of the 1968 “Vienna Convention on Road Traffic”, which drew up the conventions governing recognition of an “International Driving Permit”, driving one’s own vehicle or driving a Chinese-registered vehicle in China is certainly possible !
We have many years of experience arranging for foreign groups to drive in China。 By following the procedure outlined below and by reading the FAQ’s, you will have a clear idea of how to make a self-driving tour within China a reality. For more details or for any other questions, please contact our experts.
If you wish to drive your own car, the procedure is:
Step 1. Give CnAdventure your planned itinerary and basic information about the group (eg. number of drivers, number of vehicles, the size of the group, the date the group will arrive China port, duration, accommodation requirements, etc.). We would be willing to give you a quote on the itinerary you propose and to offer suggestions.
If you don’t have a planned itinerary yet, please simply fill our "tailor-make" form to tell us what you would like for the tour. Except the required information in the form, please do tell us the “entry” and “exit” ports in China. We could recommend an itinerary for you.
Step 2. If we arrange an itinerary and you accept the quotation, you must provide CnAdventure a deposit of 30% of the total cost of the tour cost which we will use to apply for all the permissions and licenses needed for the tour.
