Peak season (July-August, National Day):1,800-2,200 yuan/day
⚠ ️ Common Tricks in Low-Price Quotes:
Quote excludes driver meals and accommodation:Some merchants attract tourists with “low prices,” but in reality, you need to pay an additional driver meal and accommodation subsidy (approximately 150-200 yuan/day). For a 6-day itinerary, the recommended driver meal and accommodation fee could add 900-1,200 yuan.
Split charges:Fuel, tolls, and parking fees are charged separately, making the total cost far exceed the price including all designated items in the itinerary.
Vehicle downgrade:High-end business vehicles are advertised, but older models are actually dispatched, greatly reducing comfort.
Unexpected price increases:Fees are added on the spot under names like “mountain road fee” or “nighttime fee.”
✅ A legitimate quote should include:
Vehicle usage fee, driver service fee
Full fuel, tolls, and parking fees
Basic insurance (seat insurance)
