Custom car rental fees are usually calculated by the day, including vehicle usage, driver service, fuel, and tolls, but excluding attraction tickets, accommodation, and meals. Costs are affected by the following factors:
1. Vehicle Type and Number of Days
A 5-seat sedan costs approximately 800–1,200 yuan per day, a 7-seat business van approximately 1,200–1,800 yuan, and a minibus approximately 2,000–3,000 yuan (these are reference ranges; actual prices are subject to the travel agency’s quotation).
The longer the rental period, the lower the average daily cost may be (e.g., a 3-day tour total may be lower than the single-day rate × 3).
2. Season and Demand
Peak season (May–October):More tourists and tighter vehicle scheduling may increase costs by 10%–20%.
Off-season (November–April of the following year):Some scenic areas may be closed or have limited access, and costs are relatively lower, but route feasibility must be confirmed.
3. Route Complexity
Special sections such as desert highways or hidden gems may incur additional tolls or driver allowances.
