Recreational vehicles available for rent starting in May
Online Edition
Recreational vehicles for trips to neighboring provinces like Zhejiang and Jiangsu will be available for rent for the first time in Shanghai starting in May.
Five RVs owned by Shanghai Jiaoyun Bashi Group have recently been given Shanghai C plates, which will allow them on Shanghai roads outside the Outer Ring area.
It’s the first time rented RVs will be allowed on Shanghai roads. Previously, only privately owned RVs were given Shanghai C plates.
The company will start RV rentals on May 8. The vehicles, with a capacity of six people, will be leased for 1,300 yuan (US$209.56) per day. According to Jia Yan, spokesperson of Shanghai Jiaoyun Bashi Group, all five vehicles have been booked for their debut trip. Most of the trips are two or three-day outings to neighboring cities like Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai’s Chongming Island.
“The group set up a branch company to manage a Jiaoyun Bashi RV Club,” Jia told Shanghai Daily. “The branch company will take charge of RV operations and customers will be introduced to the club.”
According to Jia, the company is cooperating with about 10 RV camps in the Yangtze River Delta Region. Campgrounds near Suzhou’s Taihu Lake, Hangzhou’s Xixi National Wetland, as well as those in Anhui’s Qianghu City and Shanghai’s Chongming Island will be opened to the RVs. The camps have facilities that allow RVs to connect to water and electricity supplies.
The RVs are equipped with a shower, satellite dish, refrigerator, induction cooker and microwave oven, as well as GPS navigation equipment.
Drivers will receive a training course from the company before being allowed to drive an RV. The company also set up aid stations in neighboring provinces in case a vehicle encounters mechanical problems.
