It is possible to rent a car. I heard that International Driving Licenses are accepted in China but I am not 100% sure of the accuracy of that information. Visitors can now get a Chinese temporary driving license for a limited period of time of up to three months, but not more than the period marked in the entry and exit certificates. This period cannot be extended. To get the temporary license the driver must attend lessons to study Chinese road safety regulations, before they can drive in China. And they can only drive small cars or automatic-gear cars. However, all serious websites dealing with driving and driving requirements did not list China as a country that recognizes the validity of an IDP.
Getting an official driver’s license may be complicated, but if you are a foreign resident in China, you may convert your International Driving License to a Chinese one, with an additional exam. To do so, they should take their foreign driving licenses and valid ID cards to the automobile management bureau, fill up the automobile driving license application form, take related physical examination, and attend a traffic regulation test. Once they have fulfilled all these procedures and passed related tests and exams, they can get the official driving license issued by the Chinese government.
Possible I am sure. But Beijing drivers are not known for their patience.
Also, I hope you can read Chinese. Most of the street signs are labelled as such.
Are the taxis and modern subway not good alternatives?
It would probably be easier to rent a car with a driver than just renting a car itself. Not only would you have someone who knows the lay of the city, etc., but you’d avoid the stress and hassle of driving in an unknown language, unknown traffic customs and unknown parking locations.
You can always try a service company such as this one:
