Customized car rental fees vary based on vehicle type, number of days, mileage, and season, with specifics subject to actual consultation and contract. Ticket costs for scenic spots, shuttle buses, and cable cars listed in the itinerary are to be paid by the traveler; the driver does not engage in ticket purchasing or recommend consumption points.
For solo travelers, our agency will try to arrange room sharing; special circumstances require separate negotiation. Itinerary arrangements can be reasonably adjusted based on actual road conditions, weather, and scenic area policies, subject to mutual agreement.
All service content, fee details, and responsibility allocation are based on the signed travel contract, in compliance with the ‘Tourism Law of the People’s Republic of China’ and relevant laws and regulations.

Xinjiang’s vast territory means distances between attractions can be hundreds of kilometers. Using vehicles without operating qualifications is not recommended due to potential risks; in the event of an accident, insurance claims may be limited. Regular tourist operating vehicles have the following features:
Unified tourist markings painted on the vehicle body
Carry ‘Road Transport Permit’ and ‘Driver’s Professional Qualification Certificate’
Drivers familiar with local road conditions and scenic area policies
Vehicles undergo regular annual inspections and are equipped with emergency equipment
Choosing compliant vehicles is a fundamental prerequisite for ensuring a safe and enjoyable trip.
The 2026 Yili tourism peak season is in full swing, with grasslands like carpets, clear lakes, and continuous flower seas. Plan your transportation in advance and choose compliant operating vehicles to truly ‘stop and shoot at will, control your own pace.’ For specific travel dates, group sizes, and route needs, feel free to contact Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency customer service for details—Phone/WeChat: 181-3962-2233.
