📌 Special reminder:Why must a formal contract be signed?
Data from the Xinjiang Cultural and Tourism Department in 2026 shows that customized car rental complaints account for over 42% of total tourism complaints, with nearly one-third stemming from the use of private cars without operating qualifications. Such vehicles are not insured for carrier liability insurance. In the event of an accident, household insurance refuses to pay, making rights protection difficult. Choosing a travel agency with legal licenses and signing a written vehicle rental contract is the foundation for protecting personal and itinerary rights.
Choose 7–55 seat regular tourist operating vehicles, which are not only spacious and comfortable but also ensure full legal compliance throughout the trip. Every trip deserves to be taken seriously.
