🚗 Who bears the cross-city toll fees for private customized car rentals in Xinjiang? A one-time clear breakdown of costs (2026 latest edition)
When planning a trip deep into the Pamir Plateau or through the heart of Southern Xinjiang, many travelers wonder: Are toll fees included in the customized car rental cost? How are fuel costs calculated? Who covers the driver’s meals and accommodation? Especially when the itinerary spans multiple cities like Kashgar, Tashkurgan, Hotan, and Aksu, these details directly impact the budget and experience. This article, based on the latest 2026 market rules and industry practices, clarifies the cost structure of private customized car rentals in Xinjiang, particularly the responsibility for cross-city toll fees.
📍 Route and Destination Introduction
Take the classic Pamir loop route ‘Kashgar—Tashkurgan—Panlong Ancient Road—White Sand Lake—Muztagh Ata Peak’ as an example. The total distance is about 800 kilometers, passing through the G314 National Highway (China-Pakistan Friendship Highway), with some sections being toll roads. According to the ‘Corban Festival Highway Traffic Travel Service Guide’ issued by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Department of Transportation in 2026, toll roads in the region offer free passage for small passenger cars with 7 seats or fewer during holidays—for example, during the 2026 Corban Festival (May 27 to 31), eligible vehicles are exempt from tolls.
However, note: The free policy is recommended for statutory holidays. On non-holiday days, cross-city toll fees are typically borne by the car user. For instance, a one-way trip from Kashgar to Tashkurgan costs about 30–50 yuan in tolls (depending on the specific toll station), totaling 60–100 yuan for a round trip. If the itinerary extends to Hotan or Shache, the cost may be higher.
📌 Sample Itinerary (Based on 2026 Regular Arrangements)

2. Clarify cost boundaries: Before placing an order, ensure you confirm in writing with the travel agency which costs are included and which are self-paid to avoid disputes during the trip.
3. Keep receipts: It is advisable to keep toll receipts for verification and reimbursement (e.g., for business travel).
4. Respect local regulations: Some areas of the Pamir Plateau are border management zones, requiring a travel permit in advance; the travel agency can assist with the process.
Xinjiang is vast, and cross-city customized car rentals are an efficient way to explore the landscapes of Southern Xinjiang.
