Question 1

Is taking the HSR from 大溪老街 to Qizhang MRT Station a good idea?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended to take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from 大溪老街 to Qizhang MRT Station. HSR is expensive, slow, and involves transfer hassles. Although there can be up to 63 trains from Taoyuan to Banqiao a day, running from the first at 06:49 to the last at 23:40, once service ends for the night until early morning, alternative transportation is still required. Assuming you depart from 大溪老街 (Daxi District, Taoyuan City)  and head to the nearest Taoyuan HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$900 and take approximately 52 minutes. After arriving at the HSR station, the time to walk in, purchase tickets, and wait on the platform is about 15 minutes. Then, take a 11-13-minute (12 min on average) HSR ride from Taoyuan Station to Banqiao HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$130 per person, followed by a 10-minute walk to exit the station, wait for a ride at the taxi stand, and after a trip of about 27 minutes with a fare of NT$400, you will arrive at your destination at Qizhang MRT Station (Xindian District, New Taipei City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 1 hour and 56 minutes. Assuming one person traveling alone, the total transportation cost is NT$1,430. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, it will only cost NT$1,000, and the journey takes 52 minutes. Choosing the HSR over a private charter will not only cost at least an extra NT$430 in fares but also waste an additional 64 minutes on transfers and waiting. Book with Tripool now!

Question 2

Is it advisable to rent a car and drive from 大溪老街 to Qizhang MRT Station?

Accepted Answer

Although you can choose to rent a car to drive from 大溪老街 to Qizhang MRT Station, the cost can be significant. Rental companies typically charge by the day. A small sedan like a Toyota Yaris or Nissan Kicks starts at NT$1500 per day, while a 9-seater van like a Ford Tourneo or Volkswagen Transporter costs around NT$4500 per day. Extra costs such as fuel (approx. NT$3/km), eTag tolls (approx. NT$1/km), roadside parking (approx. NT$40/hour), insurance, and fines are not included. Since the vast majority of rental companies do not offer one-way rentals, you either need to make a same-day round trip between 大溪老街 and Qizhang MRT Station or rent the car for multiple days. In this case, the estimated cost starts at NT$2100 for a sedan and NT$5100 for a 9-seater van. Booking a one-way private transfer with the Tripool app is the most affordable and convenient option for traveling to the station.

Question 3

Would it be economical to take a taxi from 大溪老街 to Qizhang MRT Station?

Accepted Answer

If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Taoyuan City area, you can use apps to hail a cab from 55688 Taiwan Taxi, Uber, Line Go, Yoxi, etc., and if you cannot hail a cab on the street, you can also consider calling the only neighborhood taxi company in Daxi District, Taoyuan City, 大溪計程車 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$1,160 and 1,400, but by booking with the Tripool app, you can get a private car service for about a 10-30% discount. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from 大溪老街 to Qizhang MRT Station in terms of both price and service quality.

Question 4

Does tripool really offer private car service at a lower price? What are the price ranges for other taxi companies? What is the cheapest option?

Accepted Answer

Customers are always looking for a lower price with better service. There are Taiwan Taxi, Metro Taxi, Line Taxi, and Uber for short-range service in the Taiwan taxi market. There are CallCarBar, JoinMe, Car Plus, Easy Rent for long-range private car services. And for charter day tour services, there are KKDAY and Klook. Tripool focuses on long-distance point-to-point transportation and hourly ride service. No matter where you're from or where you'll go (of course, including 大溪老街 to Qizhang MRT Station), we guarantee there will be a vehicle available to take you there. Tripool uses AI algorithms to dispatch hundreds of cars around the island to increase efficiency and lower the price by 20~30%. Travelers can easily find that tripool is the best choice for private car service.

Question 5

What are included in the service fee? Is there any extra charge or hidden fee?

Accepted Answer

The quote on the website and the app already include the car rental fee, driver's fare, cost of gasoline, toll fee, insurance, and tips. Passengers don't have to pay for the driver's meals and accommodation fees. There is no other hidden fee. What passengers see on the website is the actual price.

Question 6

Do tripool and the drivers provide legal car-hiring services in Taoyuan City and New Taipei City?

Accepted Answer

There are many gypsy cabs or illegal taxis in Line and Facebook groups. Their fares are cheap but with many risks. If the cabs are pulled over by polices, passengers cannot continue the trip. If there is an accident, none of the insurance companies will settle a claim. Worst of all, illegal drivers may conduct crimes without any trace. Don't put your life at risk for just saving a few bucks. On the other hand, tripool contracts with legal drivers without any criminal record. All vehicles provide up to $5 million in insurance. The easiest way to distinguish a legal vehicle is the car plate number. Unless the initial character of the car plate number is either T or R, the car is 100% illegal for taxi service.

Question 7

Why does tripool charge cheaper than other taxis?

Accepted Answer

For regular long-distance travelers, they find Tripool's price may be too low to be good. On the contrary, Tripool has a high standard for selecting drivers and vehicles. Besides dropping drivers who are low rated, we also send mystery shoppers regularly to test drivers' service. Tripool's drivers are not allowed to smoke in the cars, and they have to wear masks all the time during the pandemic. We don't compromise our service for a low cost. Tripool can provide excellent service with 70~80% of the market price because of AI algorithms. We use these to dispatch vehicles to increase efficiency. Tripool can use fewer drivers to serve more travelers, especially in high seasons like Chinese New Year, Christmas, and summer vacation. Fewer drivers mean better quality control. The price on tripool's website and app are dynamic. Generally, the earlier a ride is booked, the lower price it is. Most of all, all booking are 100% refundable as long as the cancelation request is made one day before noon, no matter what the reason is. If you are preparing to go from 大溪老街 to Qizhang MRT Station, it's better to reserve it now to secure the best price.

Question 8

How can I book a car with a lot of luggage or oversized objects?

Accepted Answer

In common, a 9-seater van can accommodate eight passengers with six 30" luggage. Suppose there are fewer passengers in the car. In that case, our driver can fold down the rear seats. There will be more space for oversized objects, such as surfboards, golf clubs, instruments, foldable bikes, desktop computers, etc. As long as these objects won't block the driver's sight and do no damage to the car body, passengers can put as many luggage and items as they like. But extra charge may be needed. You can find the details in the FAQ section. We suggest measuring the size, telling how many items to our online service first, and making the order afterward.
