Complete guide to the car rental process and consultation preparation 🚗When contacting the travel agency, specify the number of travelers, trip duration, key areas to visit (such as Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Huocheng Lavender Manor, etc.), and budget range.

2. Matching vehicle models and drivers
Choose a vehicle based on group size: a 5-seat sedan suits 2-3 people, a 7-seat business van (such as Buick GL8) suits 4-6 people, and a 15-seat minibus suits 7-12 people.

Custom car rental fees typically include vehicle usage, driver service, fuel, and tolls, but exclude attraction tickets, accommodation, and meals. Confirm whether driver meal and accommodation subsidies are included (usually borne by tourists). Before signing the contract, carefully verify the fee breakdown, cancellation policy, and insurance terms.
