Where and how to get Temparary vehicle licence

[Graham]

I have a question: why dont you take the 300 K you are willing to spend, buy some chinese bikes, plate them in a convenient province. fly your friends in and apply for a temporary driving licence at the airport. there is a way to do it. I dont now how to do it but Chinabiker/Andy does. send him a PM. (here are rental car services also, they will know also) avoid critical parts of this big country, go out on a ride with your friends and enjoy!

Hi Sabine,

It's not 300k willing to spend, it is simply in a holding account. This is used by the tour company to leave a "monetary deposit" for each vehicle. This is collected in full on departure from Chinese soil.
The other 6 persons that will be doing the trip will be in 3 prepared, well kitted out Toyota Land Cruisers.
They sort their own individual tourist visa's out prior.
The temporary driving licence "at the airport" I believe limits you to Beijing metropolis, so not really a benefit.

The other options were mentioned earlier in the thread.

Option 1/
Buy a travel company, do the trip, then sell it again,,,,possible, but how do you buy guanxi.


Option 2/
Let a current travel company do the paperwork, of obtaining the 4 temporary vehicle licence plates, and the temporary also 3 driving licenses for the 3 other vehicle drivers.

My wife will be able to undertake the "tour guide" requirement, this is already confirmed, so no need to pay for a guide for a month or however long the trip is decided and planned to be.
