IV. Car selection, road conditions and oil price information
About road conditions
At present, there are three expressway in Hainan Island: East Expressway around the island, West Expressway around the island and Central Expressway. At present, all high-speed lines are connected, and there is no toll station at high speed, so there is no need to pay tolls.
About the oil price
Generally, 93 # gasoline for automobiles is 7.8 yuan /L, which is more expensive than that in the mainland. To put it simply, the oil price in Hainan is probably the highest in the country.
how to choose a car
when renting a car, you should choose the appropriate displacement vehicle according to the road you are driving. If the itinerary includes the route of central Hainan (such as Wuzhishan City), it is recommended to choose Kia Lion Run/Smart Run, a city SUV with high delivery. The central area needs more fuel consumption because it is in the mountainous area. If you want to take the east-west route, an ordinary car will do, because some sections are open to traffic at high speed and the road conditions are good. Ordinary cars can handle it completely.
: V. Precautions for self-driving
1. It is best to hand in detailed information of Hainan, such as the latest information on transportation, catering, accommodation and scenic spots, on your mobile phone in advance when you go to go on road trip. With this information, you can estimate your own budget, and the most important thing is to have a better play experience.
2. There are 117 gas stations along expressway on the east and west lines, which is almost a market every kilometer, but there are fewer cars on the west line expressway. There are large repair stations near gas stations along Qionghai and Wanning highways. Generally, there are repair stations not far below the highway intersection, mainly for tire repair.
3. The roads from Sanya to Wuzhishan and Jianfengling are all mountain roads. The road conditions are good, but there are many bends. Everyone should drive carefully. In fact, Hainan's national roads are all good, with fewer cars and fewer people, and the scenery is good. If you are not in a hurry, if you want to be closer to Hainan, take the national highway instead of the expressway.
4. There are many tourists during the Golden Week, so we should solve the accommodation problem in advance. If you are in Sanya, Haikou, you need to make a reservation through a travel agency or website in advance. But you'd better get tents and other equipment ready to camp in the mountains.
5. There is no business outlet of China Merchants Bank in Hainan. As for ICBC, CCB and Bank of Communications, there are only big cities such as Haikou and Sanya. Only the Agricultural Bank of China has it in all counties and cities, but there is no ATM in too remote places. However, there are still many WeChat payments in Alipay. It is recommended to bring cash.
6. Before leaving every day, check whether there is oil leakage in the car (see whether there are traces of oil pollution on the ground under the car), measure the tire pressure to see if it is appropriate, and check the oil condition (take out the dipstick to see if the oil color on it is normal and the oil height is appropriate). Finally, don't forget to check whether the spare tire is in good condition.
