Hong Kong follows left-hand driving, and since the U.S. follows right-hand driving, this may be a challenging adjustment, especially at roundabouts and intersections. Hong Kong has narrow and winding roads in some areas, which can be challenging to navigate, so be sure to drive cautiously and consider renting a compact car for the narrow streets or a performance compact SUV with good handling and agility suited for navigating winding roads. Road signage in Hong Kong is in Chinese. However, rental companies in Hong Kong have GPS navigation systems with different language options. The agencies also offer multilingual customer support services where you can call and get assistance in a preferred language when driving around Hong Kong.

The age restrictions for renting a car in Hong Kong vary by rental agency and the type of car you want to rent. However, at most rental companies, you must be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle. However, some rental companies, including Hawk, require renters to be 25 years old and above and have your driver’s license for at least two years to rent a car. Drivers younger than 25 years old will incur an additional fee for renting a car.

The price of gasoline in Hong Kong ranges from 15 to 18 HKD per liter, equivalent to $1.92 to $2.30. Gas stations are readily available throughout Hong Kong, especially in suburban and urban areas. The gas stations accept payment in cash and credit cards, including Mastercard and Visa.

The speed limits in Hong Kong vary with different roads. Therefore, when driving your rental car across Hong Kong, check for speed limit signs to be sure you are within the required limits.

Various locations, including residential and school zones, may have lower speed limits than urban areas.
