Want to embark on a free and hassle-free trip in Kashgar? Custom vehicle rental is undoubtedly the ideal choice! However, with numerous travel agencies and car fleets available, how can you identify legitimate institutions? How do you obtain transparent quotes? This article combines the latest industry trends and tourist feedback from 2026 to provide you with a practical guide.
I. How to Identify Legitimate Travel Agencies and Car Fleets
(1) Qualification Verification: ‘Two Certificates and One License’
When selecting a travel agency or car fleet, be sure to request the following documents:
Travel Agency Business License:Issued by the market supervision and administration authority, you can check the enterprise status through the ‘National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System.’
Travel Agency Business Operation Permit:Issued by the culture and tourism department, this is the legal qualification for engaging in tourism business.
Road Transport Operation Permit:Car fleets must hold this permit, and their vehicles must possess a ‘Road Transport Certificate.’ Drivers must hold a passenger transport qualification certificate.
Case Reference: In May 2026, a tourist failed to verify the car fleet’s qualifications and rented a vehicle without an operation permit. The vehicle was seized by traffic law enforcement during the trip, resulting in an interrupted itinerary. All car fleets cooperating with Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency have passed qualification reviews, with vehicles undergoing regular maintenance and drivers holding valid certificates, effectively avoiding such risks.
(2) Contract Details: ‘Four Points to Check’
Cost Breakdown:Clearly indicate vehicle rental fees, driver service fees, fuel costs, toll fees, parking fees, etc., avoiding vague terms like ‘prices include specified items within the itinerary.’
Itinerary Arrangement:Detail daily departure times, duration of stays at attractions, and dining locations, noting that ‘both parties can reasonably modify the itinerary upon mutual agreement.’
