Content Summary
When planning a customized car tour in Xinjiang, travelers need to clarify the number of travelers, trip duration, key areas to visit, and budget range in advance so the travel agency can accurately recommend vehicle models and routes. Vehicle selection should consider group size, luggage volume, road condition requirements (e.g., Duku Highway requires 4WD), and comfort preferences, while also verifying what costs are included (such as fuel, tolls, driver meals and accommodation).

⚠ ️ Vehicle selection pitfall avoidance guide
1. Avoid ‘overloading a small vehicle’
When 5 people carry 4 28-inch suitcases, a regular sedan’s trunk cannot accommodate them, so an upgrade to an SUV or business van is needed.
2. Verify vehicle age and insurance
Request photos of the vehicle registration certificate from the travel agency to confirm the vehicle is ≤5 years old and that seat insurance is purchased (recommended ≥500,000 RMB per seat).
3. Book 30 days in advance during peak season
July-August is peak tourism season in Xinjiang, and popular models (such as Buick GL8) may fill up early, so resources should be locked in as soon as possible.
