You could email ctrip what they charge for a car: http://english.ctrip.com/supermarket...entalQuery.asp
Thanks. I looked at that ctrip link and they seem to only quote car rates for destinations within Shanghai -- I guess Suzhou is too far for them.

I'm staying at the Suzhou Sofitel on this visit, and I've never had luck arranging a driver from a 4 or 5 star Western-managed hotel. They usually quote me twice the "going" rate.
