Macau Car Rental

If you would like to explore Macau by yourself with a map and guide, you can easily find Macau car rentals. There are two Macau transportation companies operating at this time, Avis-Rent-A-Car Macau, and Happy-Rent-a-Car Macau, also known as Happy Mokes. If you wish to hire a car from either of these Macau car rental companies, you will have to provide your ID or passport, valid driving license (or international driving license for some countries), a credit card for deposit, and be 21 years of age.

Mokes really are worth a consideration for Macau travel. Mokes are small, jeep-like vehicles painted in bright colours, which are good for exploring the islands. Mokes were big in the 70s, being promoted as an alternative to big cars (the line was that "Moking is not a Wealth Hazard"). They were an outcome of a search by the British Military to develop a light vehicle which could be dropped from an aircraft. Now they are commonly found in island communities where terrain can be rugged and varied. The moke hire companies also offer saloon cars for hire. Happy Mokes has a rental office in the Macau Ferry Terminal, in Arrivals.

Avis-Rent-a-Car is located in the car park of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Choose from their six (6) car groups. From mini-mokes and jeeps for budgeted trips and outdoor activities, to full-sized cars for total comfort, to luxury vans for large families, Avis has a wide range of options. Whatever the type of car you are looking for, they can provide it at an attractive price without any compromise on quality.

If you like, you can just sit back and relax, and leave the driving to AVIS, as well. For Macau business travelers or stylish holiday-makers, taking advantage of the Avis' Chauffeur-Drive Service is a fantastic way to get around Macau. A full range of cars are available for you. Hourly and transfer (point to point pickup/drop off) services are available.

If you want to celebrate a special occasion in style and comfort, you can take a trip through Avis in a nine-seat, chauffeur-driven replica of a 1920s style English bus. They operate city tours (2 hours) at around $20 per adult and $10 per child, at 11:00 and 15:00, with a fixed itinerary. For a special tour the charge will be charged around $40 per hour.

Macau transportation is diverse and can be its own adventure. Also, given how small Macau is, you might opt to try a pedicab for a new experience, and a handy way to get around without parking hassles. A pedicab - a tricycle carriage with seating for two passengers, also known as a trishaw - is a slower but more romantic form of transport. Pedicabs are propelled by bicycles with several gears and are not the same as the rickshaw. Macau tours should include a breezy pedicab ride along the waterfront. Such a joyride can be its own adventure, not just a mode of transport!

The Macau Ferry Terminal and Hotel Lisboa are the two main pick up locations for pedicabs. It's good advice to settle on an agreed fare first. One should expect to pay about 10-30 patacas ($1.50-$4) for a single journey, or about 100 patacas ($14) an hour for sightseeing, depending on where you go. Don’t forget though, some places of interest in Macau are located on hilltops, and it is physically impossible for pedicabs to take you up the rather steep inclines. Whatever your needs may be for transportation, Macau travel professionals are in place to help you get around town and enjoy yourself.
