7-seat MPV (Buick GL8, Maxus G10):Recommended for 4-6 person families or small groups, spacious and comfortable, can handle lightly unpaved roads (e.g., Ili grassland loop).

💰 2. How is the cost of a custom car tour structured?
Costs are affected by vehicle type, duration, season, and route difficulty. There is no fixed price range, so each item should be confirmed separately:
1. Vehicle usage fee: Calculated by vehicle type and days, prices increase 20%-30% during peak season (June-August, National Day).
2. Driver service fee: Includes driver salary and meal/accommodation allowance (usually borne by travelers or calculated per industry standards).
3. Fuel, tolls, and parking fees: Allocated based on actual route mileage. Xinjiang is vast, with 300-500 km per day being common, so adequate budget should be reserved.
4. Other fees: Additional charges may apply if the driver also serves as a guide, for night driving, or special road sections (e.g., Duku Highway restricted hours).
Content Summary:💡 Consultation tips:Inform Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency of group size, number of days, and key areas to visit (e.g., Kanas in northern Xinjiang or Kashgar in southern Xinjiang), and staff can provide vehicle and cost reference plans.
