The key information regarding chartered cars in Xinjiang travel guides is as follows:?
Choose a formal travel company:?
Ensure that the company has a business license, qualification certificate, and operating permit, and avoid choosing informal companies or individual drivers to prevent issues with the subsequent itinerary and having nowhere to file a complaint.?
Sign a formal travel contract, specifying the vehicle type, cost breakdown, and refund policy in case of inability to travel due to special reasons (such as the pandemic).?
Confirm the chartered car cost:?
The chartered car cost should include all related expenses, such as insurance, parking fees, fuel costs, tolls, driver accommodation, and meal allowances, to avoid additional costs later on.?
The costs vary depending on the vehicle type. For example, the daily cost of a 7-seat business vehicle is approximately 1000-1500 yuan, while the daily cost of a 7-seat SUV is approximately 1400-1800 yuan, and the cost of a large coach is even higher.?
Choose a suitable vehicle type:?
The road conditions in Xinjiang are good, and cars, SUVs, business vehicles, MPVs, minibuses, and buses can all travel normally. However, considering the large size of Xinjiang and the long distances between scenic spots, it is recommended to choose an MPV or SUV to provide a more comfortable riding experience.?
Special note: Special road segments such as the Duku Highway and the Yizhao Highway only allow vehicles with less than 7 seats to pass, so choose a suitable vehicle type based on your itinerary.?
Drivers and itinerary planning:?
Ensure that the driver has a complete set of ID and driver’s license, and possesses the corresponding driving ability.?
The itinerary should be detailed, and you should communicate with the driver in advance about the route and accommodation arrangements to ensure a reasonable and safe trip.?
Chartering a car for a trip allows for greater freedom, allowing you to stop and view scenery or take photos at any time. However, you should also respect the driver’s opinions and arrangements to ensure a smooth itinerary.?
Other precautions:?
Before traveling, understand the local weather and road conditions, and make adequate preparations.?
Entering some scenic spots by chartered car (such as Sayram Lake and Nalati) may require additional payment of road fees and service fees to the driver.?
If you encounter problems during the trip, communicate with the travel company or driver in a timely manner to resolve them.?
In summary, when chartering a car for a trip in Xinjiang, one needs to pay attention to aspects such as company selection, cost confirmation, vehicle type selection, drivers and itinerary planning, as well as other precautions to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip.?
