2. Luggage volume: If carrying large luggage (such as photography equipment or camping gear), please inform in advance and choose a vehicle with more space.
3. Actual product: Different shared car products may use different vehicle types, so confirmation should be based on the specific route. For example, in-depth tours may use off-road vehicles, while regular sightseeing uses business vans.
Example:If you plan a 4-person shared car tour with 2 28-inch suitcases plus backpacks, you can inform the travel agency of your needs and choose an SUV or business van with ample space.
📍 What needs to be confirmed about the meeting point?
Confirming the meeting point is key to a smooth trip. The following information should be clarified:
1. Exact location: The meeting point is usually a hotel in downtown Urumqi, the airport, or the train station; the detailed address needs to be confirmed.
2. Nearby landmarks: If there are well-known buildings or shopping malls near the meeting point, they can serve as references to avoid getting lost.
