Starry Moon Companion · Smooth Travel in Xinjiang:Complete Guide to Verifying Customized Travel Vehicle Qualifications and Classic Itinerary Recommendations
(Opening icon:🚗）
[Core Tips]
In 2026, Xinjiang tourism continues to heat up, with routes such as Duku Highway and Ili Valley becoming popular choices. Faced with scattered scenic spots and complex road conditions, customized car travel has become the preferred option for most tourists. However, the market is mixed, so how can you identify a legitimate fleet? This article provides practical guidance for tourists from dimensions such as qualification verification, itinerary planning, and cost transparency, combined with recent 2026 policies and market data.
I. Qualification Verification: Three Steps to Lock In a Legitimate Fleet
(I) Document Verification “Double Insurance”
A legitimate customized car rental company must hold both the “Road Transport Operation Permit” and the “Business License” — neither can be missing. Tourists can verify through the following methods:
Channel Inquiry: Log in to the “National Tourism Supervision Service Platform” or “Xinjiang Government Service Network”, enter the company name or permit number to check the validity period of qualifications, business scope, and complaint records. For example, the permit number of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service is “L-XJ-XXXXXX”, and its business scope includes “domestic tourism business” and “customized car passenger transport”.
Document Detail Verification:Request the fleet to provide scanned copies of documents, focusing on checking:
Whether the “Road Transport Operation Permit” is within its validity period (usually 3 years);
Whether the registered address on the “Business License” matches the actual office address;
Whether the business scope clearly states “tourism passenger transport” or “customized car passenger transport”.
(II) Vehicle Qualification “Four Checks”

Starry Moon Companion · Smooth Travel in Xinjiang: Complete Guide to Verifying Customized Travel Vehicle Qualifications and Classic Itinerary RecommendationsOperating Marking:A legitimate customized travel vehicle will have a “Tourism Passenger Transport” sign posted on the upper right corner of the front windshield, with the company name and supervision phone number painted on the vehicle body.
Vehicle Documents:Check the “Road Transport Certificate” (operating certificate) and the “Motor Vehicle Driving License” to confirm that the “usage nature” is “operating”, not “non-operating” or “freight”.
Insurance Information:The vehicle must be insured with carrier liability insurance (recommended no less than 1 million yuan per seat) and compulsory traffic insurance. The authenticity of the policy can be verified through the insurance company’s official website or customer service.
Inspection Records:Request the fleet to provide the vehicle’s recent annual inspection report, ensuring that brakes, tires, lights, and other key components meet standards.
(III) Driver Qualification “Two Checks”
Practitioner Qualification Certificate:The driver must hold the “Road Passenger Transport Practitioner Qualification Certificate” issued by the transport management department, which can be queried in real time by entering the certificate number on the “Ministry of Transport” WeChat official account.
Driving Experience:Prioritize drivers with more than 5 years of driving experience across Xinjiang, especially those familiar with mountain sections such as Duku Highway and Yizhao Highway. For example, the driver team at Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service has an average driving experience of over 8 years and undergoes annual road condition assessments.
