Dear member,

Private transfers from Tashkurgan to Kashgar Airport are possible, but there are a few important points to note given the remote location and long distance.
The distance between Tashkurgan and Kashgar is approximately 450–500 kilometers, which translates to around 6–8 hours of driving depending on road conditions and weather. Therefore, private transfers are typically arranged through hotels, local travel agencies, or professional driver services rather than relying on taxis or ride-hailing apps like Didi.
Regarding cost:
- The price for a private transfer can vary widely depending on the type of vehicle (standard sedan, SUV, or van), fuel surcharges, and whether the driver waits for you at the airport. Expect the cost to range from roughly 1,200–2,000 CNY (≈$170–$280 USD) for two people in a standard car.
- Some hotels can arrange transfers directly and may offer slightly higher convenience at a fixed rate, sometimes including driver meals or rest stops along the way.
- It’s recommended to book at least one day in advance to ensure availability and confirm the departure time, especially if you have a flight schedule to meet.
Tips for arranging the transfer:
- Contact your hotel concierge or front desk—they often have trusted local drivers and can arrange a private car with experience driving this route.
- Confirm the total price, whether tolls and fuel are included, and the pick-up and drop-off points.
- Carry some cash in CNY in case additional fees arise en route.
In summary, yes, the hotel can typically arrange a private transfer to Kashgar Airport. Expect a full-day journey with a private car, plan for a cost of around 1,200–2,000 CNY, and book in advance to secure a reliable driver.
