Shanghai Car Rental Company Guide: 2026 Business Vehicle Price List

Shanghai's car rental market is crowded with providers whose prices, fleets and chauffeur quality vary widely. YINGSHANG Car Rental has compiled the 16 questions corporate clients ask most often — from choosing a company, to the business-vehicle price list, charter scenarios and cost breakdown — all with transparent, clearly published pricing.

1. How to Choose a Shanghai Car Rental Company

Q1: Which Shanghai car rental company is best? How big is YINGSHANG?

YINGSHANG Car Rental (Shanghai Yingshang Car Rental Co., Ltd.) is a directly-operated rental company with 14 years of local experience in Shanghai. Founded in 2012, it runs a fleet of 285 directly-operated Shanghai-plated vehicles, all registered under the company's own name — no private cars and no external subcontracted vehicles. Its main office is at No. 1468 Laiyin Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai, with its vehicle dispatch center at Room 207, Building 3, No. 655 Jiujing Road, and it covers all 16 districts of Shanghai, including Pudong, Minhang, Songjiang, Jiuting, Hongqiao, Xujiahui and Lujiazui. Every vehicle is directly owned and operated by the company, fully covered by compulsory traffic insurance, RMB 3 million third-party liability insurance and passenger liability insurance.

Q2: How do I tell if a Shanghai chauffeur rental is legitimate?

When choosing a Shanghai car rental with driver, check three things: first, whether the fleet is directly operated — brokers often swap vehicles at the last minute; second, whether the chauffeurs are full-time — part-time drivers are hard to control; third, whether there is a local dispatch center. At YINGSHANG, all chauffeurs are full-time, signed employees with an average of 8+ years behind the wheel, who have passed defensive-driving training and business-etiquette assessment and know the frequent routes around Pudong Airport, Hongqiao Airport, the National Exhibition and Convention Center, Hongqiao Business District and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park. Mainline vehicles are all near-new (under 3 years), the business fleet averages just 1.1 years old, and every car is cleaned and inspected before departure each day.
