What are options to hiring a car?

I can't imagine that you would benefit from a car hire, but if you decide to go that route, shoot for around y50/hour.

I'll be staying at the Shanghai 88 Xintiandi Hotel so I understand there will be plenty of shops, restaurants, etc. in the area.

I'll do a little research on Sheshan. You say why I would benefit from rendting a car. At $7-$8/hr. that seems pretty resonable. (If I have my exchange rates straight.) What other mode of transportation would you recommend for getting out of the city? Perhaps trains are available?
