Taiwan Private Car Rental Price List | The Most Comprehensive Price Guide for Renting a Car with Driver, Must-Read Before Your Trip

When it comes to traveling, transportation has always been the most vexing issue. While using public transportation for transfers can save money, it often requires a significant amount of time. On the other hand, driving and parking on your own can be problematic. Therefore, renting a car with a driver has become the preferred choice for many people when traveling.

However, most people frequently feel very confused about the price and quality of service when it comes to renting a car with a driver. Today, I'm here to introduce the most comprehensive price list for renting a car with a driver in Taiwan. I will tell you how the car rental fees are calculated and assist you in choosing the most suitable private hire driver service.

Remembering the first time using private car hire service, just like many others, I was very concerned about whether the pricing would have hidden fees as mentioned on the internet. How much should I tip for the private car hire? Is there a price list available to avoid any surprises? These were the questions that confused me the most at that time.

As a member of the lower-income group, I did my research online very seriously before embarking on my first private car hire trip. The convenience and freedom offered by private car hire made me a repeat customer. Now, let's address some common concerns people have about private car hire services.

First and foremost, the most concerning issue for everyone is the price of private car hire. I have to be honest and say that there is no definitive pricing formula available for reference. Apart from each car rental company having its own pricing policy, the following factors usually contribute to the variation in costs:

1. Distance of the journey: The farther the journey or the more complex the route, the higher the cost. For example, the price of private car hire in mountainous areas will be higher compared to flat terrains.

2. Number of passengers and vehicle type: Different passenger requirements necessitate different vehicle types. Using the same journey as an example, the price will vary between booking a small sedan that can accommodate up to three people and a nine-seater vehicle that can accommodate eight people.

3. Travel Time: The longer the duration of the hired car service, the higher the price. There may also be slight price differences during special periods, such as holiday outings or early morning rides.

4. Special Requirements: Customized services during the trip, such as foreign language tour guides or small-scale moving services, will also affect the price.

The different costs of hiring a car service make it crucial to have transparent and disclosed pricing when making a choice. In addition to comparing prices from multiple providers, online reviews are also important reference indicators! While it's good to save money, it's not ideal to compromise on the travel experience.

Here, I'd like to personally recommend our own tripool travel service. The car rental fees can be instantly quoted online, with clear and transparent pricing without any hidden charges. tripool also thoughtfully offers two options:

1. One-way Private Car: If you need a private car service from point A to point B, for example, airport transfers.

2. Hourly Ride: If you want the flexibility to adjust your travel itinerary and attractions within the rental time, for example, a day trip to Jiufen, you can choose "Hourly Ride," with options ranging from 2 to 12 hours.

The actual price is the same as the estimated price you calculate when ordering on the tripool official website. The cost already includes the total journey price, which covers the car fare, driver's gratuity, tolls, and fuel fees. It's clear and transparent, so you no longer have to worry about being charged additional fees under various strange names after the ride, which is the most distinguishing feature of tripool compared to other car rental service providers.

Are there any discounts for private drivers?

You might ask, 'Uber often offers discounts, but what about private drivers?' Well, yes, there are indeed discounts available. However, private driver companies may not have the same financial resources as Uber to frequently offer large discounts.

But it's worth keeping an eye on the websites and Facebook pages of private driver companies, as they sometimes launch special promotional offers. For example, there are early bird deals or promotions like tripool, which offers a 5% discount on round trips every day throughout the year.

It is highly recommended to pay attention when making a reservation and not miss out on these little moments of happiness!

After the holiday break, the brand-new year of 2023 has arrived! It is said that this year there will be a total of 116 days off, including holidays like the February 28th long weekend and the Qingming Festival holiday. Many people have already started planning their travel itineraries.

To assist everyone in choosing the most suitable car rental with driver service, I have compiled the latest 2023 charter transfer price list for Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung. The following charter price table compares the price ranges for different numbers of passengers and distances, as well as different numbers of passengers and durations, making it convenient for you to compare charter prices.

If you require child seats (booster cushions), an additional charge of NT$300 per seat will apply. Please specify this during the reservation process, and the fee can be paid in cash to the driver upon disembarking.
