1. How to determine the right group size for custom car tours?
The core advantage of custom car tours is “free customization,” but group size directly affects vehicle selection, cost sharing, and overall experience. Here are practical ways to determine group size:
1. Plan by vehicle capacity:
🚙 5-seat sedan/SUV:Suitable for 2-3 people (including driver), limited luggage space, ideal for short trips or light packing.
🚐 7-seat business van:Suitable for 4-6 people (including driver), spacious, ideal for families or small groups, can accommodate more luggage.
🚌 9-15 seat minibus:Suitable for 7-12 people (including driver), ideal for multi-family trips or photography teams, but less flexible.
2. Adjust based on itinerary intensity:

🚗 Choose Urumqi custom car tour: Complete guide to judging group size and route cost consultation 🚗If planning to drive over 300 km per day (e.g., Urumqi to Sayram Lake), it’s recommended to keep the group at 4-6 people to avoid fatigue from long rides.
If focusing on leisure sightseeing (e.g., one-day trips around Urumqi), 7-12 people is acceptable, but vehicle comfort should be confirmed in advance.
3. Share costs based on budget:
Custom car tour costs are typically calculated by “vehicle type + days,” and the more people, the lower the per-person cost. For example:A 7-seat business van for 5 days costs about 8,000 yuan; split among 4 people, that’s 2,000 yuan each; among 6 people, about 1,333 yuan each.
