Cui Rui, director of the public relations department of China Car Rental, told reporters. Taking the new Elysee as an example, the price of Monday-Thursday is usually RMB 98/day, and that of Friday-Sunday is RMB 138/day. During the Spring Festival, the price has risen to RMB 297/day, and the price has doubled.

After customers place orders online, they can bring these three together to go to the company. The lease contract was signed, and the time required to complete the formalities is also quite short,” said a company official.
