    Aaron

    Asked on April 4th, 2024

    Hello! I am looking for an operator that can help us getting a one-way rental car hire (for self-drive) from Chengdu to Xining, for about 20 - 25 days, in July. If they also have the service to obtain the Chinese temporary driving license for a good price, we would look into it as well. If 1 night accommodation is necessary so that it can be sold as a package, no problem with that.
