1. Clarify travel needs and narrow down vehicle types
Before customizing a car tour, you need to confirm the following information so the travel agency can accurately match the vehicle:
Number of travelers:2–4 people can choose a 5-seat SUV or sedan (such as Toyota Prado, Volkswagen Tiguan), which is spacious and suitable for short mountain roads; 5–8 people are recommended to use a 7-seat business van (such as Buick GL8), with ample luggage space; 9 or more people need to choose a 9–15 seat minibus or a larger vehicle.
Trip duration:If you plan to visit classic attractions such as Sayram Lake, Huocheng Lavender Fields, and Xiata Ancient Trail, it is recommended to reserve 3–5 days, and the vehicle needs to meet long-distance driving requirements (such as high ground clearance and strong endurance).
Road condition adaptability:Some sections around Yining (such as Duku Highway and Yizhao Highway) have requirements for vehicle types, so you need to confirm in advance whether the vehicle has the qualification to pass.
