📝 Key points for contract verification (pitfall avoidance tips)
When signing a customized car rental contract, it is recommended to focus on verifying the following:
Whether the vehicle type is clearly marked (e.g., ‘7-seat business vehicle’ rather than vaguely ‘comfortable model’);
Whether it specifies if the driver has experience driving in local mountainous areas;
Rental days, daily mileage limit, and overtime/extra mileage charging standards;
Whether it includes driver meal and accommodation arrangements and who bears the cost;
Whether the vehicle is a compliant commercial vehicle (with tourism customized car rental qualifications);

Hemu Village: A traditional wooden house village surrounded by birch forests and snow-capped mountains, ideal for morning mist photography and slow-paced experiences. The best time for autumn colors is from late September to early October.Whether the contract includes a negotiation mechanism for itinerary changes, rather than a unilateral disclaimer clause;
Whether the payment method, deposit ratio, and final payment deadline are clear.
Avoid relying on verbal promises to place orders; all agreements should be put in writing in the contract to protect the rights of both parties.
📌 Warm tips
Some mountainous sections in Altay have many curves and large altitude changes. It is recommended to choose 7-seat and above compliant commercial vehicles with spacious interiors and stable chassis.
Summer temperature differences between day and night are large. In mid-August, nighttime temperatures may drop to around 8°C, so windproof and warm clothing should be brought.
Border areas (such as Baihaba) require relevant entry procedures. The travel agency can assist with the process, but whether the trip can proceed depends on the day’s policy.

During peak season (July–August and around National Day), resources are tight. It is recommended to confirm the itinerary and vehicle at least 30 days in advance.
