According to public data from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Department of Culture and Tourism for the second quarter of 2026, complaints related to customized car rentals account for over 42% of total tourism complaints, with ‘unfulfilled verbal promises’ and ‘arbitrary price hikes during trips’ being common issues.
