When planning a trip to Xinjiang, custom vehicle travel is highly favored for its flexibility and privacy. However, how can you ensure the selected custom vehicle company is properly qualified? How can you distinguish a legitimate travel agency? This article will provide a practical guide covering qualification verification, contract signing, service guarantees, and more, incorporating the latest 2026 policies and case studies.
I. Five Steps to Verify Custom Vehicle Company Qualifications and Avoid “” Pitfalls
Xinjiang’s vast geography and scattered attractions require custom vehicle services to meet three core conditions: “dual licenses + compliant vehicles + professional drivers.” Here are the specific verification steps:
(I) Verify Corporate Qualifications
License Requirements:Custom vehicle companies must hold both a Business License and a Road Transport Business License, with the business scope clearly stating “custom vehicle passenger transport” or “tourism passenger transport.”
Verification Channels: Enter the company name on the “National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System” or the “Xinjiang Government Service Network” to check license validity, business scope, and administrative penalty records. For example, if a company’s license number is “Xinjiang Transport Management License No. XXXX,” confirm it is within the validity period (usually 4 years).
Warning Signs:Be cautious of companies without a fixed office, those refusing to provide a corporate bank account, or those recommending bookings through personal social media accounts.
(II) Verify Vehicle Qualifications
Vehicle Identification:Compliant custom vehicles must display a “Tourism Passenger Transport”标识 (tourism passenger transport sign) on the body, be equipped with satellite positioning devices and seat belts, and have an annual inspection validity covering the travel dates.

(III) Confirm Driver Qualifications
License Verification:Drivers must hold both a Driver’s License and a Road Passenger Transport Practitioner Qualification Certificate, with information matching the vehicle and contract. Verify authenticity through the “Ministry of Transport’s Internet Road Transport Government Service System.”
Experience Requirements:Prioritize drivers with over 3 years of local driving experience in Xinjiang, familiar with road conditions in ethnic minority areas and景区 (scenic area) policies.
(IV) Sign a Formal Contract
Contract Template:Use the Tourism Custom Vehicle Contract recommended by cultural and tourism authorities, specifying the license plate number, vehicle model, seat count, cost breakdown (e.g., fuel, tolls, driver accommodation), and liability for breaches.
Clause Details:The contract must state: “If the trip is interrupted due to vehicle failure, a replacement vehicle must be provided within 4 hours”; “The driver must not unilaterally change the route or add spending points.”
(V) Refer to Real Cases

Electronic Contracts:Contracts signed with legitimate agencies can be verified for authenticity through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s platform, with tourists receiving SMS confirmation after signing.
Transparent Itineraries:Contracts must clearly state daily itineraries, scenic spot停留 (stopover) durations, hotel names and star ratings, and dining standards. For example, “3-hour visit to Nalati Grassland, stay at the 4-star Nalati Bairui Camp Hotel.”
(III) Service Guarantees
Quality Guarantee Deposit System:Travel agencies must pay a tourism service quality guarantee deposit to protect tourist rights. In case of breaches during the trip, tourists can apply for advance compensation.
After-Sales Channels:Legitimate agencies must provide a 24-hour emergency contact number for quick response to issues during the trip. For example, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency assigns a dedicated customer service manager for full coordination.
