G'Day,
no motorbikes for rent in Shanghai (China).
you need a Foreigners Resident Permit to obtain a Chinese Driving License.
apparently in some cases you can get a temporary driving license for rental cars but the license is interlinked with the rental cars (you rent 7 days, you get a license for seven days!), never tried it, though. might be difficult for visitors.
overseas / international driving license not accepted in China. might be worthwhile to get in touch with the Shanghai
Vehicle Managment Bureau (DaBaiShu) tel. (+86) 21 65168168 located at 1101 Zhong Shan Bei Yi Lu. the Vehicle Managment Bureau handles all the issues regarding
driving license for foreigners.
insurance might be a big problem as well for visitors.
Best Regards, Seeya in the pub or on the road...
Butch
ps: do not take any advise regarding fake documents (license-plates / driving license), you could end up in very serious trouble in PRC.
