What should I pay attention to when renting a car in Lhasa, Tibet?

1. Beware of black cars and unlicensed vehicles. For chartered travel, tourist vehicles must have driver's license, work permit, operation qualification, insurance and waybill before they can operate on the road.

2. Paying attention to driving experience does not necessarily mean that you are familiar with tourist routes. Because the tourism market is hot, many drivers from other industries join the ranks of tourist buses, which leads to the mixed market and potential safety hazards in all aspects. Pay attention to the driver's familiarity with the road conditions. A good driver is more important than any good car when traveling in Tibet.

3. Beware of contract supplement and attachment fraud. As vehicles are managed by tour bus companies, Tibet adopts two standard contracts: one is the individual charter agreement signed with the tour bus company, and the other is the team charter agreement signed between the travel agency and the tour bus company. Two companies and individuals will not have tripartite agreements at the same time. If there is an annex to the contract, the annex will take effect only if it is stipulated in the main contract and the annex itself needs to be signed and stamped by both parties.

4. Personal travel accident insurance is not optional in the chartered flight Agreement of Tibet, but must be purchased, and the amount of personal travel accident insurance shall not be less than 300,000/person.

Tibet tourism is greatly affected by force majeure, including landslides and traffic jams. It happens all the time. The chartered car should be charged by the kilometer as far as possible to avoid unnecessary losses.
