📄 Fee and Service Description
All customized car rental services use formal tourist transport vehicles. The vehicle registration certificate indicates ‘operational’ status, equipped with tourist transport signs, striving for legality and compliance.
Drivers hold valid driver’s licenses and road passenger transport qualification certificates, familiar with road conditions across Xinjiang. Some driver-guides can provide basic explanations of scenic spots.
Fees for scenic spot tickets, accommodation, meals, etc., involved in the itinerary, if included in the total quotation, will be listed item by item in the contract; items not included are at the tourist’s own expense.
For single registrations, our agency will try to arrange room sharing; special circumstances require separate negotiation.
Specific service content, fee details, and itinerary arrangements are subject to actual consultation and the signed written contract between both parties.

Karakul Grassland: A three-dimensional grassland landscape with undulating meadows and forests. In May, greenery spreads to the horizon. In case of force majeure factors such as weather, traffic control, or scenic spot capacity limits, both parties can negotiate to make reasonable changes to the itinerary.
✅ How to Identify Formal Customized Car Rental Services?
🔹 Check Qualifications:Confirm that the travel agency is registered with the cultural, tourism, and transportation departments, not a personal intermediary or an external customized car rental team.
🔹 Check the Vehicle:Must be a tourist transport vehicle with a unified body logo and a registration certificate indicating ‘operational’.
🔹 Verify the Driver:Must have both certificates (driver’s license + passenger transport qualification certificate), not a part-time ride-hailing driver.
🔹 Sign a Contract:The written contract must clearly specify the vehicle model, fee structure, itinerary points, complaint channels, etc. Verbal promises are invalid.
⚠️ Do not rent private cars without operational qualifications. Such vehicles lack tourist transport insurance. In case of an accident, tourists may find it difficult to obtain compensation and have limited recourse.
