First, self-driving and car rental choose self-driving.
Self-driving is more expensive, and the entry and exit fee 1000 yuan. If you want to drive by car, you need to ferry the car from xuwen county (haian port) to Haikou (xiuying port), and the car with 5-7 seats needs about 450 yuan (including driver's ticket only). The accompanying person should get off the bus and buy his own ticket, so you should pay attention to him. In case of rain and fog, the Qiongzhou Strait is suspended, and cars and car attendants are not allowed to enter the island by ferry. It is recommended to fill up the car before entering the island. Oil is very expensive on this island.
Rent a car
Car rental on the island is very convenient and affordable. The rental price of five cars is 85- 120 yuan/day, but these cars are not allowed to leave Hainan Island. There will also be companies that provide car rental services in Hainan, such as CAR Inc and Ehi Car Rental, and third-party rental companies such as online car rental. It is recommended to avoid offline rental companies.

Fourth, car selection, road conditions and oil prices information about road conditions.
At present, there are three expressways 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 are no toll stations and no tolls.
About oil price
Cars generally use 93 # gasoline, which is about 7.8 yuan/liter, which is more expensive than Chinese mainland. Simply put, the oil price may be the highest in Hainan.
How to choose a car
When renting a car, you should choose a car with appropriate displacement according to the road you are driving. If the itinerary includes routes in central Hainan (such as Wuzhishan City), it is recommended to choose Kia Lion Run/Smart Run, a high-delivery urban SUV. Fuel consumption is higher in the central region, because it is in mountainous areas. If you want to take the east-west route, a regular car will do. Because some sections are all open to traffic at high speed, the road conditions are no problem, and ordinary cars can completely cope.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) precautions for driving 1. It is best to submit the detailed information of mobile phone Hainan in advance when traveling.
For example, the latest information such as transportation, catering, accommodation and scenic spots. Knowing this information, you can estimate your budget, and the most important thing is to have a better play experience.
2. There are 107 gas stations along the eastern and western expressways, almost every kilometer, but there are fewer cars on the western expressway. There are large maintenance stations near gas stations along Qionghai and Wanning expressways. Generally, there are repair shops not far below the expressway, mainly for repairing tires.
The road from Sanya to Wuzhishan and Jianfengling is a mountain road. The road conditions are good, but there are many bends. Please drive carefully. In fact, Hainan's national highway is not bad, with few cars and people, and the scenery is not bad. Don't worry, I want to be closer to Hainan, take the national highway and take the expressway less.
There are many tourists in the Golden Week, so we should solve the accommodation problem in advance. If you are in Sanya, Haikou, you need to book through a travel agency or website in advance, but it is best to prepare tents and other equipment to prepare for camping in the mountains.
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 is located in various counties and cities, and there is no ATM in too remote places. However, Alipay still pays more on WeChat, so it is recommended to bring cash.
6. Before leaving the car every day, thoroughly check whether the car leaks oil (see if there are traces of oil and sewage on the ground under the car), measure the tire pressure to see if it is appropriate, and check the oil situation (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.
