Daocheng Aden go on road trip Raiders Daocheng Aden go on road trip Route

Actually, another thing about Daocheng Aden is that everyone is go on road trip. Regarding go on road trip, Xiao Bian wants to talk to you about these issues, from renting a car to paying attention to Xiao Bian when driving at last. Domestic car rental strategy

After running all the way for 12 days, the glass water pipe we rented in peugeot 38 was broken, the high beam somehow broke down, and the air conditioner didn't cool down. Of course, it had something to do with the serious loss of the car that had run for more than 7, kilometers before.

when returning the car, the staff took a look at the condition of the car and said, "yours is nothing. I just picked up a Maserati from Linzhi last week and it's basically scrapped."

I asked, "Do people still drive Maserati to Tibet?"

The younger brother who inspected the car had no choice but to smile: "A local tyrant, we always had only one Maserati. At that time, we advised him for a long time that this car should never be used in Sichuan and Tibet, but he refused to listen and had to rent it. As a result, it can only be scrapped. "

I don't know whether what he said is true or not, but at least it shows one thing: when playing Sichuan-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet and western Sichuan, you really can't drive whatever you want.

what are the road conditions in Sichuan, Tibet, Yunnan and western Sichuan?

realistically speaking, many roads have been well built, and there are fewer dangerous sections than before. However, some sections are still difficult to walk and the road conditions are unstable. If you don't meet the road, it's easy to say that once you meet the earth-rock road under maintenance and construction, anything is possible. The most common ones are puncture and bottoming.

In addition, Sichuan, Tibet and Yunnan have complex terrain and changeable weather. When the weather is fine, you have to guard against multiple bends on the slope; Catch up with the rain and snow weather, landslides, mudslides and falling rocks are just a flash; When the rainy and snowy days pass, you have to hide from dark ice and water to destroy the road.

Whether to rent a car or drive your own car

This question is easy to answer. Do you love your car? Are you willing to spend thousands of dollars to rent a car, or are you willing to drive your own car and spend more money to repair and maintain it when you come back?

after asking and answering these two questions, you will basically have the answer.

if you are not a professional player, you don't often take these routes. In fact, renting a car is more cost-effective than driving your own car.

Let's talk about a more realistic problem. Even if we don't spare the loss of our own car, if we drive our own English-finidi QX5 to Tibetan areas, the car breaks down halfway. This is an unusual model, and the repair shop can't repair it and has no accessories. And you have to consider the problem of refueling. Not all gas stations along the way have 97 # gasoline.

to put it more realistically, I have a friend who was driving into Tibet when his car overturned halfway, and he was slightly injured and was rescued from the middle of the mountain. But the car is still turned down, so it is impossible to drag it up like a tow man. So narrow Panshan Highway, the trailer can't get in, nor can the crane. Even if we can barely find road rescue, the cost is sky-high. Finally, I had to find a local garage, and the original parts were scrapped. Seventy percent of the new off-road vehicles, the loss can be imagined.

Can you drive a car?

A car can drive, but it is recommended not to drive. Some people will move out the story of Otto's brave invasion of Tibet and question whether Otto can enter Tibet.

indeed, if you want to drive, you can drive any car, such as Alto, Maserati, Chery QQ or Smart. Nothing is absolutely impossible. However, you must understand that little Alto's play in Tibet is a case after all!

To be realistic, it's completely possible to go forward with a national and provincial car paved with asphalt, and it's also possible to drive over the bumpy earth-rock road. When encountering a really bad road, it's not easy for any car to walk. Accident-prone sections, Alto drove past, and the Hummer overturned, all of which are a matter of probability.

it is suggested not to drive a car as much as possible, just to drive a car with a relatively high safety factor when no one can guarantee foolproof, at least to reduce the accident rate objectively.

Of course, everyone has different choices and original intentions on this issue, and I just express my personal views.

what kind of car to choose for renting a car

1. Necessary conditions

1. High chassis: When encountering dirt roads, cars with low chassis are easy to support the bottom. At present, the ground clearance of urban SUVs is almost the same, and it is best to choose models above 15cm.

2. Common models: it is easy to maintain if it breaks down.

3. It is suggested that a car with a long wheelbase will be more stable when cornering. In fact, my personal experience is that stability is related to the width of the car body and the chassis, and the wheelbase length does not play a decisive role.

In addition, the size and comfort of the car are selected according to your own requirements.

second, the model

as for whether to drive an ordinary SUV or an off-road vehicle, a two-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive. In western Sichuan, I personally feel that ordinary SUVs are enough. If Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan and Tibet don't have a tight budget, they will drive off-road. If the budget is tight, it is no problem to drive ordinary SUVs as long as they meet the necessary conditions of high chassis and common models. Ordinary SUVs have a minimum daily rent of 12, and off-road vehicles have to go to a special car rental website with a daily rent of 6. Car rental is divided into off-peak seasons, especially off-road vehicles, and the price difference between off-season and peak season is not small. It will be described in detail below.

How to choose a car rental website

1. Car rental platform

First of all, car rental is different from buying milk powder, which involves vehicle violations, insurance claims, maintenance and so on, so it is recommended to choose a domestic car rental platform for self-driving in China.

At present, the services provided by several domestic car rental platforms with large users are basically the same, with a little more preferential activities and a little more cars in China. Besides, there is no special difference in personal feelings.

2. Car rental price

First of all, the price of the same model will fluctuate in different degrees in the off-season and peak season, on weekdays and weekends, and on weekdays and festivals. The daily rent of common ordinary SUVs is not expensive, starting from 15 in the off-season and 2 in the peak season. In fact, the big part of the car rental fee is on insurance, which will be described in detail in the insurance section below.

if you want to rent an SUV, you have to go to the special SUV website. Off-road vehicles are expensive, after all, the performance of the car is there. Take Pajero for example, the average daily rent is 7 to 8; There are many Toyota models, the average price of Prado is around 1, and the number of Land Cruiser is 12. There are also domestic four-wheel drives, which are relatively cheap. For example, the Great Wall Haval rents less than 5 a day. You can choose according to your budget.

without going through the car rental website, the car rental agencies in Chengdu, Chongqing and Kunming, Lijiang, which are popular places of departure for Sichuan and Tibet, can rent a car when they arrive in the local area, but they also have to consider the situation that the car cannot be temporarily allocated in the store during the peak season.

3. Off-site car return fee

Also pay attention to the off-site car return fee. Different from the international car rental website, it has realized the networking of pick-up and return cars in physical stores between cities. At present, the domestic car rental platform can only connect vehicles in several physical stores in the same city at most. Therefore, if you choose to take it back from a different place, according to the distance between the two places, you will definitely have to pay a car return fee that looks very scary.

for example, when we went to western Sichuan in April, we planned the route at first, and we were going to visit Sichuan and Yunnan, leaving Chengdu and returning the bus to Kunming. As a result, the plane ticket was booked, and when I rented a car, I found out that the return fare from different places actually cost 5 yuan! So I had to temporarily change it to self-driving in western Sichuan, and Chengdu took it back.

Later, I specially chatted with the staff of the car rental website and asked them how the sky-high return fare was calculated.

people say: now in a different place, it doesn't mean that you rented your car from Chengdu and returned it in Kunming, and then someone rented it in Kunming and then gave it back to Chengdu. Instead, we have to send a person from Chengdu to Kunming to drive the car back. The round-trip fare, high-speed fee, gas money, staff accommodation and business allowance are all added together, which is basically 5 yuan.

so, if you rent a car, try to avoid different places when planning your route.

How to choose insurance

1. Basic insurance premium

This fee is paid as long as you rent a car. According to different models, the cost is different. The more expensive the car, the higher the basic insurance premium. Including compulsory insurance, third party liability insurance and car damage insurance. Car damage insurance includes theft insurance, whole car glass insurance, etc.

for several other types of insurance, you can choose whether to insure according to your own situation.

2, excluding deductible insurance

If you only bought basic insurance, then when the accident happened, the car was damaged, and the repair cost was 2, yuan, of which 1,5 yuan was an absolute deductible that the driver had to pay, and the insurance payment was only 5 yuan after 2-1,5 yuan. If you buy it, you don't have to pay a penny, no matter how much it costs to repair the car.

3. Third-party liability supplementary insurance

Because the three risks in the basic insurance have compensation limits, the driver needs to pay for the excess. Therefore, this third-party liability supplementary insurance can be understood as an enhanced version of the basic insurance.

4. Passenger seat protection

If there are people in the car, there is a limit on the maximum amount of compensation. Of course, if everyone is usually insured against personal accident insurance in various situations, then it is not necessary to buy this insurance when renting a car.

from my personal experience, I drive by car in China, except for the basic premium, I always buy something that is deductible.

What should I do if the rented car breaks down?

Car rental websites have their own maintenance outlets, but these outlets are few and they are all located in popular tourist towns. In fact, far water is difficult to solve near thirst.

However, there are many car repair shops in the towns and villages along the Sichuan-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet and Western Sichuan lines, and they can repair all the common models. The problem is that most of these stores can't issue formal invoices.

For example, when we drove to Seda this time, we had a little trouble and called the car rental website. Their nearest maintenance point is in Kangding, which is several hundred kilometers away from us. Only maintenance can be paid in advance, but the car rental platform requires us to provide a formal invoice to pay this fee when returning the car. I asked several stores, but I couldn't get an invoice. In the end, I simply didn't repair it, so I just left it open.

Therefore, if you buy deductible insurance when renting a car, and there is a minor fault halfway that does not affect normal driving and has no potential safety hazard, it is recommended that you simply do not repair it. If it's a flat tire, take photos and send them to the car rental platform on the spot, and then communicate the solution in detail.

other matters needing attention in renting a car

1. Check the car carefully

Checking the car includes checking the dashboard, tire wear, air conditioning, wipers, lights and so on. When problems are found, they must be solved on the spot. Theoretically, the cars that the car rental platform gives you are all overhauled and maintained, and there will be no fatal problems. Of course, if you think the mileage of the car is too high, you can discuss changing with them. If you find a small problem such as a small scratch on the car body, show it to the staff and take a photo to keep it, so as not to be unclear when returning the car. And remember to take a picture of the dashboard.

2. Necessary documents

Driving book, driving book and ID card. If you rent a car, remember to drive a notebook when you pick it up. There will be many checkpoints along the way, and these documents will be required.

3. Spare tools for the vehicle

Your own car comes with a simple toolbox, in addition to some glass water, tow rope and tire pressure gauge. In fact, there is no need to add these things to the rented car. There are many car repair shops along the way, and glass water can be added to the car washing place.

4. Sometimes, it's very rare that the car will be temporarily out of service. Generally, the staff will go to other stores to switch cars at this time, so it's best to set aside time on the trip. In addition, both Hi and Shenzhou provide car delivery service, so if their pick-up point is really inconvenient for you, just choose their car delivery service.

5. Handling violations

Theoretically, within 2 weeks after returning the car, if the vehicle violates the rules, the car rental platform will send the violation record, deduction and fine amount to the customer. The deposit will be refunded when the user pays the fine. Every car rental website has different procedures for handling violations, so you should ask in advance when you pick up the car. Of course, it's best to abide by the rules, and don't violate the rules if you can. Precautions for self-driving

Self-driving in Chengdu

Although I only stayed in Chengdu for half a day, personally, it is more convenient and comfortable to ride a bicycle. When we went there, roads were being built everywhere. It was really not easy for foreigners with unfamiliar road conditions to travel freely in Chengdu by car, and there were many traffic lights. The traffic jam during the rush hour was also very touching. Anyway, now * * * enjoys riding the street by bike, so let's ride. If you have to drive in Chengdu, you'd better find out which day to limit the number. At present, Chengdu also implements the regulation of limiting the number of motor vehicles according to the number of vehicles, so as not to violate the rules.

Limit number

Chengdu also implements motor vehicle limit number, so it is best to ask the date of the license plate limit in advance when renting a car.

national highway p>G318

starts from Shanghai people's square, passes through Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hubei, Chongqing and Sichuan, and ends at friendship bridge in zhangmu town, nyalam county, Tibet, with a total length of 5,476 kilometers, which is the longest national highway in China at present. The scenery is beautiful all the way, but the road conditions in many sections are steep and challenging.

On the way

Say the important thing three times: drive safely! Drive safely! Drive safely!

1. When you see cattle, sheep and horses hiding, don't honk your horn. If you hit it, you will lose money. If you honk your horn, you may be required to lose money. As for how much to pay, it depends on luck.

2. Look up at the tree in the rockfall area, and don't move when the tree is moving. This is the way taught by the old driver who runs the Panshan Highway for a long time.

3. There is no signal at all in many places, and the navigation map is offline in advance.

4. In the plateau area, people have high rebellion and cars. There will be insufficient power, the throttle will be given to the end, and the speed will not change; In all kinds of situations, such as sudden brake failure, it is best to observe the vehicle state at any time.

driving on Panshan Road

1. Try not to follow the cart, which will block the view.

2. When overtaking, be sure to turn on the left light to warn the vehicle in front. Don't overtake in the corner, don't overtake in the blind area of sight, if the front car is overtaking, don't overtake with the back, because if the opposite car is fast, maybe the front car can merge successfully after overtaking, but you may not be able to merge in time!

3. Slow down ahead of the curve. Don't slow down during the curve. Slow down in the middle of the curve. If the vehicle speed is too fast and the brakes are pressed too hard, it is easy to roll over. After all, not everyone will play drift. No matter how amazing your driving skills are, remember that safety comes first!

altitude sickness

altitude sickness is caused by the lack of human hemoglobin. Rhodiola, in plain English, is a kind of health care medicine, which can increase hemoglobin and enhance blood circulation, but it is useless to take it only one or two weeks in advance without taking it for a long time. The most effective way is to take glucose after high fever, but you have to go to the hospital to take glucose, which can't be bought in ordinary pharmacies. You can buy Gao Yuan 'an, a headache medicine, and personally test it, which can really relieve it to a small extent, but it will not be effective immediately. If you leave from Chengdu, the local pharmacy has a complete range of anti-high-anti-drugs and the price is cheap, so you can buy them in Chengdu. In addition, try not to catch a cold. As for whether you don't take a bath when you get to the high school, my personal feeling is that taking a hot bath for five minutes will not aggravate the high school. After three or four days, all kinds of discomfort will disappear.

Chengdu-Daocheng self-driving route

At present, there are two routes to travel from Chengdu to Daocheng Aden, namely the southern line and the northern line. The two routes have different scenery. For self-driving travel, if time permits, it is recommended to enter south and exit north, and enter north and exit south. Take a panoramic view of the scenery along the two lines.

south line: Chengdu-Ya 'an-2.
