Deposit Payment Ratio and Schedule Locking Rules
The deposit ratio for winter customized vehicles is usually 30%-40% of the total cost, fluctuating specifically according to vehicle model, route, and number of vehicle usage days. For example, for a 7-day Northern Xinjiang ice and snow loop using a 9-seat business vehicle, the total cost is about 18,000 yuan, and the deposit is about 5,400-7,200 yuan. After the deposit is paid, the travel agency will lock the vehicle and driver schedule and issue an electronic contract clarifying the rights and responsibilities of both parties.

Core Routes and Itinerary Highlights of Winter Customized Vehicle TravelCore schedule locking rules:
For peak season (December-February of the following year), the deposit must be paid 15-20 days in advance. High-quality vehicle resources are tight, and temporary bookings may find no vehicles available.
After the deposit is paid, both parties may make reasonable itinerary changes by mutual agreement (such as route changes due to blizzard traffic control or temporary closure of scenic areas), but the vehicle and driver schedule shall not be changed.
If upgrading the vehicle model or extending the number of vehicle usage days is required, the price difference must be paid and the contract terms must be reconfirmed.
Refund Conditions and Practical Suggestions
According to the general rules of the 2026 Xinjiang tourism customized vehicle industry, refund conditions are divided by cancellation time nodes, and the specific terms shall be subject to the contract:
Cancellation more than 15 days in advance:Full refund of the deposit.
Cancellation 7-15 days in advance:30% of the deposit is deducted as liquidated damages (for example, if the total deposit is 6,000 yuan, 4,200 yuan is refunded).
Cancellation 3-7 days in advance:50% of the deposit is deducted (3,000 yuan refunded).

[Northern Xinjiang Ice and Snow Loop] (7-9 days)Cancellation within 3 days in advance:The deposit is non-refundable (because vehicle and driver resources have been reserved and cannot take other orders at short notice).
Force majeure circumstances:
If extreme weather (such as blizzard traffic control), closure of scenic areas, or policy changes make it impossible to continue the itinerary, the travel agency must fully refund the deposit or assist with rescheduling.
Personal sudden illness, temporary work matters, etc. are not force majeure, and refund terms shall be executed according to the contract.
Practical suggestions:
Before signing the contract, ask customer service to clearly specify in writing the “refund base” (whether it is a percentage of the total cost or a percentage of the deposit) to avoid verbal promises.
Winter Xinjiang weather is changeable. It is recommended to purchase “cancellation insurance” (costing about 1%-3% of the total price). If the itinerary is canceled due to force majeure, the insurance can compensate for more than 80% of the loss.
Keep all communication records (such as WeChat chats and transfer screenshots) as the basis for safeguarding rights.
