🔍 VI. Key Points for Verifying Vehicle Qualifications Before Signing
To ensure a safe journey and protect your rights, please complete the following verifications before making payment:
Nalati Grassland: The aerial grassland area has lush water and grass with pleasant temperatures, managed with timed entry (9:00–18:00) and requiring real-name reservation. The shuttle bus within the scenic area is mandatory, and tickets and shuttle bus fees must be purchased together.1. Check corporate qualifications: Confirm the travel agency holds a valid “Business License” and “Travel Agency Business Operation Permit”, with the business scope including “road passenger transport operation” or “custom car rental passenger transport”.
2. Check vehicle documents: Request and verify the “Road Transport Permit” (operating permit), vehicle license, and insurance policy. Non-operating vehicles (commonly known as “black cars”) face difficulty in claims if an accident occurs.
3. Review contract terms: The contract should clearly specify vehicle type, license plate number, number of travel days, daily driving routes, fee breakdown, and breach liability, avoiding vague terms such as “equivalent vehicle” or “arranged as circumstances allow”.
4. Refuse cash transactions: Legitimate services should collect payments through corporate accounts and issue invoices or receipts.
Xinjiang’s cultural tourism and transportation departments have implemented the “Five Don’ts” rental policy:Do not rent vehicles without passenger transport permits, operating permits, contracts, insurance, or qualified drivers. Choosing compliant services is the first step to worry-free travel.
📌 Warm Reminder:With Xinjiang tourism heat continuing to rise in Summer 2026, vehicle resources on popular routes are in high demand. It is recommended to confirm itineraries and sign contracts 10–15 days in advance. All information is current as of July 11, 2026; for subsequent policy changes, please refer to scenic area announcements or transportation department notices.
