Currently, the most popular choice for private customized car rentals in Xinjiang is the 8-day Ili Loop. This route covers most of the classic natural landscapes of Northern Xinjiang, featuring canyons, snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, flower seas, and lakes along the way, with opportunities to explore cultural neighborhoods.

Prices fluctuate with the season. During peak season (June–October), prices generally increase by about 30%–50%, while during off-peak season (November–May of the following year), prices are relatively lower. If traveling on routes with many mountain roads like Duku Highway or Yizhao Highway, there may be a special route surcharge of 200–500 yuan/day. The specific increase is subject to the contract or customer service confirmation.
Regarding the driver’s accommodation issue that everyone is most concerned about, there are currently two settlement methods in the market, and you can choose as needed:
The first is to choose an all-inclusive price that includes driver’s accommodation. This usually adds 200-300 yuan/day as a driver’s accommodation subsidy on top of the basic all-inclusive price. After signing the contract, you don’t need to separately bear the driver’s meals and accommodation costs, avoiding extra calculations midway, making it more worry-free.
The second is to choose an all-inclusive price that does not include driver’s accommodation. In this case, you can either dine with the driver or pay a separate meal allowance of 80-120 yuan/day. For accommodation, you can book a room at the same hotel for the driver or pay a separate accommodation subsidy of 150-200 yuan/day for the driver to arrange on their own. The overall cost difference between the two methods is not significant, and you can choose based on your travel habits.

If you have more time, you can also choose the 12 to 15-day Southern and Northern Xinjiang Loop. Besides the natural scenery of Northern Xinjiang, you can also visit the Taklamakan Desert Highway, Minfeng, Ruoqiang, and other places to experience different landscapes. It should be noted that in cases involving weather, road conditions, policies, scenic spot openings, schedule changes, etc., both parties can negotiate reasonable itinerary changes. You can communicate with staff to adjust stops based on your travel time and interests. For example, in peak season, choosing a 9-seat business van for the 8-day Ili Loop, the basic all-inclusive price excluding driver’s accommodation is about 9600 yuan. If you choose to include driver’s accommodation, the total all-inclusive price is about 11,200-12,000 yuan. Shared among 6 people, it’s about 1800-2000 yuan per person. This price is for reference only, subject to the signed contract.

Items usually not included in the basic all-inclusive price include: scenic spot tickets, internal shuttle buses within scenic spots, personal consumption of tourists, excess mileage fees (if the daily driving distance exceeds the agreed standard, e.g., 400 km, a fee of 1.5–2 yuan/km may be charged), overtime fees (the driver’s regular daily working hours are 10 hours, overtime fees can be negotiated between both parties), special route surcharges, etc. Specific included items can be confirmed with staff during consultation, subject to actual consultation and contract signing.
There are also some practical tips for your reference. It is recommended to consult and book vehicles 15-30 days in advance, especially during the peak season from June to October when vehicles are in short supply. Booking early gives you more vehicle options. When signing the contract, include all agreed fee items, vehicle type, and itinerary details in the contract to protect your legal rights. Xinjiang has a vast territory with large temperature differences between morning and evening. Prepare clothes of different thicknesses before traveling. If going to border areas, consult staff in advance about required documents. Prices and availability are subject to contract or customer service confirmation and may fluctuate with schedules. All rules are based on contract law, tourism law, and other relevant laws.
