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

Matters needing attention in renting a car in Tibet.

1. How to find a regular coach in Tibet?

There are three main ways to find a driver in Lhasa: 1, entrusting a travel agency (safer); 2. Let the hotel help you find it; 3. Look at the message board and keep company with others (it depends on your luck, but it is easier to find it in the peak season).

Second, check the legal procedures and insurance of the vehicle.

1 There are many vehicles under the banner of self-help tour. Generally, they are cheaper off-road vehicles on the market. These cars are either modified Toyota 4500 or off-road vehicles in relatively good condition. They have one thing in common, that is, they have no formal travel procedures. There is no travel procedure, and the direct result is unclear responsibility. You are basically responsible for any problems or traffic accidents in the process of chartering. The main feature of this kind of car is its low price. If you count the fuel cost (the fuel cost of off-road vehicles is basically 1 yuan/km)+car consumption+driver's salary, it is basically not rich. When I first came here, I always wondered why so many cars on the market were so cheap. It saves the original expenses of handling travel procedures and filing with the tourism bureau, and the natural price is lower. Of course, safety is also saved.

Many drivers are inexperienced. Tibet's chartered car market is really huge, just look at the professional outdoor equipment that walked in the streets in July, August and September. This market has attracted many people who want a piece of the action, including mainland drivers. Xiao Pi is not saying that mainland drivers here are not good, but that too many novice drivers with few years' experience have entered, which leads to poor drivers in this area. As we all know, there are too many inside stories about driving test now, so it should not be difficult to take an A2 test and drive a cross-country passenger transport. Market demand->; The influx of novices will inevitably cause some unpredictable risks.

Regarding vehicle insurance, the minimum amount of seat insurance enforced by the Tourism Bureau is 500-65438+10,000 yuan. Some drivers may only buy less than 50 thousand yuan for cheaper prices, and the non-fatal claims for traffic accidents do not exceed 80% of the insured amount. Thousands of dollars of insurance may not even be able to pay for hospitalization. However, if non-tourist vehicles are engaged in passenger transport business, insurance companies will not settle claims. Please pay attention to your choice. You'd better check the driver's vehicle insurance procedures before renting a car.

Third, draw up the itinerary, scenic spots, time and number of seats.

When determining the route time, you might as well find more people who have been there or consult this website, communicate more and arrange your own itinerary, help draw up your daily itinerary, and be sure to indicate your daily accommodation position in the contract itinerary, so as not to be in a hurry, increase the danger in the itinerary, and avoid adverse reactions caused by physical fatigue.

Fourth, emergency methods.

In the contract, attention should be paid to the way, such as vehicle damage, emergency and emergency methods.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) payment method.

In the contract, the proportion of the full amount and the prepaid amount are clearly defined, and the way of breach of contract and restriction during driving is indicated. You can also write complaints and sanctions.

Friendly advice:

Every year in July, 8965438+ 10 is the peak season for Lhasa tourism, and a large number of tourists make pilgrimages to the holy mountains and lakes in Tibet, resulting in a sudden increase in the cost of chartered cars in the market. There is no place to live in the peak season, so you'd better book accommodation and charter before coming to Tibet.
