The core recommendations for car rental in the Northern Xinjiang travel guide include choosing a reliable car rental platform, booking in advance, preparing necessary documents, and carefully inspecting the car. Here is a detailed car rental guide:?
Choose a reliable car rental platform:?
It is recommended to choose large companies with physical stores, which offer a wide selection of car models, transparent fees, and guaranteed services.?
Shenzhou and Ehi are well-known car rental platforms. Shenzhou is suitable for non-one-way rentals, while Ehi is suitable for one-way rentals.?
Book in advance:?
During the peak tourist season in Xinjiang (e.g., August), car rental demand is high. It is recommended to book online 10 to 15 days in advance to avoid not having a car to rent.?
Prepare necessary documents:?
To rent a car, you need to prepare the driver’s license, ID card, and credit card (for deposit). Some platforms, such as those with a Zhima credit score above 650, may offer a deposit-free service.?
Inspect the car carefully:?
When picking up the car, carefully inspect the body for any scratches and take photos or videos as evidence. Also, understand the vehicle’s condition, such as the body, fuel gauge, chassis, tires, and mileage, to avoid subsequent disputes.?
Car rental tips:?
Choose a familiar car model for easier operation.?
Read the terms carefully when signing the contract to understand the car rental rules, such as daily mileage limits and over-limit charging standards.?
Remember to fill up the gas tank when returning the car for a smoother process.?
Other precautions:?
Road conditions in Xinjiang are generally good, and sedans are fully applicable. However, SUVs offer better visibility. You can choose the car model based on personal preferences and budget.?
Car rental prices fluctuate over time. It is recommended to pay attention to price changes before picking up the car and, if necessary, cancel and rebook to get a lower price.?
With the above tips, you can enjoy the convenience of car rental during your trip to Northern Xinjiang more easily and cost-effectively. Wish you a pleasant journey!?
