The grottos are about 14 miles (22km) from the hotel, and the temple is about 52 miles (84km) from the hotel. You can charter a car to the two places. The fare may be around CNY 400 per day. ;)

Hey, you can search online China Auto Rental. It is a trustworthy car rental company in China. I believe they will charge reasonably.

Taxi fare to Yungang Grottoes costs around CNY100 and takes around 1 hour. While taxi fares from Yungang Grottoes to Hanging Monastery cost around CNY90, and taxi fares from Hanging Monastery back to the airport cost around CNY120-150 and takes around 1.5 hours. I suggest you hire a vehicle for one day.

Can I hire a car or van at the airport to go to the Yungang Grottoes, Hanging Monastery, then finally go to the hotel? Is there a counter at the airport that I can go to?

I think you may hire a taxi at the aiport, but it is suggested to negotiate the taxi bus before you boarding.
The taxi can be easily found outside the airport.
