Hi Koen,
what wuming stated is correct!
In Beijing and Shanghai its possible to obtain a temporary driving license for cars at the airport police station.
Other places are not that familiar with the requiered procedures, but it should be possible allover China...should...
Car rental - you cant book it online, especially as you not a China resident. But your friends here can help you arrange for that. I rent cars from China Auto Rent all the time. They have stations allover China and one-way rentals are possible.
Cheap chinese cars cost around 150RMB/day including all fees. You will need help from "local" Chinese people, as a Chinese Credit Card is requiered. Your passport and driving License need send by scan to the HQ for check, needs around 3 days to clear you. Menas you have some days to expole Beijing/Shanghai first before you head of with the car.
