[💡 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls:5 Tips to Choose the Right Custom Vehicle Rental Service]
Beware of “Low-Price Traps”:Reject false advertising such as “custom vehicle rental for several hundred yuan all day.” Legitimate custom vehicle rental costs include vehicle usage fees, fuel, tolls, driver service fees, and basic insurance. Quotes significantly below market averages may hide additional charges.
Verify Qualifications and Insurance:Choose a travel agency with tourism operation qualifications. Vehicles must be equipped with sufficient commercial insurance (third-party liability insurance ≥ 2 million RMB) and seat insurance (≥ 500,000 RMB per seat) to avoid risks associated with unqualified operators.
Confirm Accommodation and Transportation:During peak season, accommodation in Kanas and Hemu Village is in high demand. Confirm whether the travel agency can deliver the promised accommodation level and inquire about specific hotel names or homestay locations.
Reject Hidden Consumption:Choose a travel agency that promises “no consumption throughout the itinerary, with no arranged shopping.” Induced consumption under the guise of “free visits” or “characteristic check-ins,” or the recommendation of high-priced self-paid items, should not be tolerated.
