Author: A WORD OF ADVISE

 LISTEN I ADVERTEISED FOR SOMEONE TO DRIVE ME WITHA PRIVATE CAR FROM LHASA TO GYANTSE, THEN TO SHIGATSI AND BACK TO LHASA. THEY QUOTED ME 4,200 RMB.
I JUST HAD A FRIEND RETURN FROM A ONE WEEK TRAVEL PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDED AIR FARE FROM SHANGHAI TO XIAN TWO DAYS, 4 STAR HOTEL PLUS FOOD, THEN ONTO LHASA , AGAIN 4 STAR HOTEL, PLUS FOOD, AND TOURS OF THE TEMPLES . A TOUR OF SHIGATSI AND OTHER TOWNS, ONE FULL WEEK AND HERE PRICE WAS 6,000 RMB TOTAL FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING AIRFARE ROUNDTRIP TO SHANGHAI.
NOW I FOUND THAT YOU CAN RENT A CAR FROM THE TERMINAL WITH 4 PEOPLE TOTAL, PER CAR. EITHER A SANTANA OR TOYOTA JEEP, AND THE COSTS I 80 RMB PER PERSON FROM LHASA TO SHIGATSI, SO BEWARE OF THESE ROBBERY, HIGH PRICES AND THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO CHEAT FOREIGNER TRAVELERS. YOU CAN BET A FULL COPY OF THE BUSS , GOLEN CUP SMALL BUSS, SANTANA VW OR TOYOTA RENTAL CAR WITH A DRIVER TO MANY LOCATIONS FROM THE MAIN INTERNET WHICH GIVES YOU FULL PRICES FROM BOTH TERMINALS, SO BEWARE OF THESE RIP OFFS . iT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PAY HIGH PRICES WHEN YOU CAN COMFORTABLY GET THE SAME THINGS FOR MUCH MUCH LESS MONEY.

You can have different feelings if you are backpacking. It's totally different from a tour group.
