You do not have to rent a car or take a tour. We took bus 17 from our guesthouse to the end (bus station) and then transferred to bus 3 which dropped us off at the entrance to the park. Paid 1RMB per person for each bus. Ask your hotel/guest house which bus will take you to the bus station and then take bus 3. To return, bus 3 picks you up at the same spot that you were dropped off at. Very good value.

Hey Susy, Datong is definitely a good place to visit. You have Yungang Grottoes that are accessible by public bus so no need to spend money on a driver (they try to rip off foreigners as much as they can). Not far from Datong I would also recommend a day-trip to visit the Hanging Monastery. It is mind-blowing and almost literally breathtaking. If you like hiking, close to the Monastery you will find Hengshan (one of The Five Sacred Mountains of China). For this day-trip a driver is a must as accessibility to these places is limited. Heading to Pingyao from Datong, a driver will cost you your eyes, liver and kidneys. I would recommend taking the night train. You can get a soft bed for 178 RMB/person. Train leaves Datong at 10:26pm and arrives Pingyao around 6am. I suggest to buy tickets in advance. If you have more days and like mountains and nature, between Datong and Pingyao there is Wutaishan (1 of the Four Great Mountains of Buddhism) which will give you a peace of mind, relax and enjoy pure air in a mountain landscape. Hope above is helpful. Let me know if you need further help.
