📌 Key points for verifying vehicle information before customizing a car
The core of a customized car tour is the “vehicle” and the “driver”. Verification should focus on these two aspects:
1. Vehicle qualifications and insurance
✅ Confirm whether the vehicle holds formal operating qualifications (such as a road transport certificate), and avoid using private cars or unlicensed vehicles.
✅ Request to view the vehicle insurance policy, ideally including “seat insurance” and “third-party liability insurance” to ensure travel safety.
✅ Search online for the latest regulations of the local transportation department in Xinjiang regarding customized car services to ensure compliance.

✅ Refer to other tourists’ reviews (if any), but be careful to avoid fabricated or exaggerated content.
