How to rent a car in Lhasa?

At present, there are only the following kinds of cars traveling in Tibet: Toyota 60, Toyota 62, Toyota 75, Toyota 4500, minivan and American "Big Grey Dog".

Almost all these cars came to Lhasa in the form of used cars. Toyota 75 has double fuel tanks. As far as car conditions are concerned, those of enterprises and institutions are much better than those of self-employed.

When renting a car in Lhasa, we must first avoid blindly looking for a car in the streets and lanes, especially those drivers who wander around the major youth hotels all day for food. Last August, I saw a post on the bulletin board of the kirey Hotel, which said that a donkey friend and a driver had an unpleasant quarrel.

The most routine way to rent a car in Lhasa is to find a well-known travel agency and entrust it to complete the operation. I haven't done this before, so I put aside the expensive one. More importantly, I think this goes against the donkey's original intention. )

You can consult the "old donkey" through friends or the Internet in advance and find some drivers who have a good reputation among "donkey friends". That's a good idea. I used to look for a car like this. That is a "Nima Tsering" car. Master is very kind and feels good! (Remember to write down the car rental contract clearly)

There is another small way to rent a car in Lhasa, that is, to find a car in the motorcade below some large enterprises and institutions in Lhasa. They are usually willing to provide car rental services for tourists. The vehicles in the company are usually in good condition, and it is more important to rent these vehicles to give you backup protection. Donkeys who have been walking for a long time know that driving on the plateau will inevitably lead to some minor problems. It's much more reassuring to have their team as backup to ensure your journey. But if you are looking for a self-employed driver, you have a lot to worry about. Last year, I walked in the no-man's land in northern Tibet and experienced the "8.24 Namuhu township car accident", which I deeply understand! We would have been in trouble if the captain hadn't driven the maintenance personnel himself. Remember to write down the rental contract clearly. )

Finally, it is suggested that "donkey friends" charge by kilometer after renting a car. This is a great benefit. Drivers are required to drive wherever they want, even if they temporarily change some plans. Anyway, it's charged by kilometer. This bill is similar to the total price of the set meal.
