2. Itinerary duration and mileage
The longer the duration and the farther the mileage, the higher the cost. For example:

Special road conditions:For example, traveling to Tashkurgan requires a permit, and some sections are mountain roads, requiring experienced drivers, which may increase costs.
4. Service standards and additional items
Driver service:Professional drivers (familiar with routes, can provide basic commentary) cost more than regular drivers, and some teams also include driver meal allowances.
Accommodation and tickets:If choosing the “all-inclusive itinerary” service (including accommodation and tickets), costs will be significantly higher than the “recommended custom car” model.
Emergency support:Items such as onboard oxygen tanks and snow chains (winter) may incur additional costs.
5. Difference between carpooling and custom car tours
Custom car tour:Exclusive vehicle, completely flexible itinerary, suitable for families or travelers valuing privacy, cost calculated by vehicle type including itinerary items.
