I refused Aircraft X to fly to ZZZ due to a history of terrain faults.  I also was not comfortable taking a basic aircraft that was not RNP qualified into an airport where the only approach to Runway XX is an RNAV/RNP approach.  Added to that; neither I nor my FO (First Officer) had ever flown into ZZZ before.  There is zero guidance given to pilots tasked to fly into ZZZ.  No airport familiarization on company app.  No special notes in the FOM under special qualification airports other than the 75 hr requirement.  No guidance in the XX pages.  No guidance in the company airport pages.   History of terrain faults on this aircraft x. Basic aircraft when the only approach to Runway XX has to be RNP certified. This runway is used quite extensively.  First time flying in as Captain. First time for FO to fly into ZZZ.  Mountainous terrain and complex procedures listed on the company airport page.After flying my first flight into ZZZ; I recommend this city pair be designated one that requires a check airman for first flight into.  I have flown into all of our domestic mountainous terrain airports and some international airports.  There is usually some guidance in the airport familiarization pages or the FOM or the airport pages.  ZZZ company page states 'this airport is designated as special (14 CFR Part 121.445) due to mountainous terrain and complex procedures'.  Mountainous terrain and complex procedures is an alert to me that there should be some kind of verbiage in the airport pages for safe conduct into this airport; along with ZZZ being included in the airport familiarization section on company app.   I also recommend that this airport always have a destination alternate and takeoff alternate on the flight plan release.
captain reported refusing the aircraft because it was not equipped to fly to the destination airport.
