Question 1

Is taking the HSR from 尊爵大飯店 to Lakeshore Hotel Tainan a good idea?

Accepted Answer

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from 尊爵大飯店 to Lakeshore Hotel Tainan, HSR is quick but pricey. From the earliest departure at 06:49 to the latest at 22:35, there are up to 58 high-speed rail from Taoyuan to Tainan each day. Assuming you depart from 尊爵大飯店 (Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City)  and head to the nearest Taoyuan HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$500 and take approximately 28 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 72-97-minute (87 min on average) HSR ride from Taoyuan Station to Tainan HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$1,190 per person, followed by a 5-minute walk to exit the station, wait for a ride at the taxi stand, and after a trip of about 33 minutes with a fare of NT$300, you will arrive at your destination at Lakeshore Hotel Tainan (Zhongxi District, Tainan City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 2 hours and 48 minutes. Assuming 4 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$1,390. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$1,370, and the journey takes 3 hours and 50 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$80. Therefore, for those who are not in a major hurry, you may consider a cheaper and door-to-door private transfer option, like Tripool. If you are traveling in a group of three or less, you can also consider Tripool's carpooling service to save up to an additional 50% on transportation costs.

Question 2

Is it advisable to rent a car and drive from 尊爵大飯店 to Lakeshore Hotel Tainan?

Accepted Answer

If you have a driver's license, do not mind driving yourself, and you do not need to use the travel time to rest in the car, there are about 50 rental car companies, such as 日昇國際租賃, 金鑫小客車租賃, 台灣途遊租賃, available in the 尊爵大飯店 - Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City area. Typically, car rentals are billed by the day. A small sedan like a Toyota Corolla or Ford Fiesta costs around NT$1500 per day, while a 9-seater van like a Hyundai Staria or Volkswagen Caravelle starts at 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 potential fines are not included. Most rental agreements specify a daily mileage limit of 200-400 km, with surcharges ranging from NT$100 to NT$2,000 for exceeding it. Since the vast majority of rental companies do not offer one-way rentals, assuming you make a same-day round trip between 尊爵大飯店 and Lakeshore Hotel Tainan, the estimated cost for a sedan is NT$4000 or NT$7000 for a 9-seater van. This is, of course, cheaper than taking a taxi. However, if Lakeshore Hotel Tainan has extensive indoor facilities or the attractions you want to visit are nearby, renting a car for the entire day seems wasteful. Moreover, the rental location may be some distance from 尊爵大飯店, and you must adhere to their business hours for pickup and return. The rental process itself is tedious, often taking an extra 30 minutes for contracts and vehicle inspection. You may even need to refuel the car yourself before returning. If you encounter a dishonest operator, you risk being hit with various unjustified charges upon return.

Question 3

Would it be economical to take a taxi from 尊爵大飯店 to Lakeshore Hotel Tainan?

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 taxi fleets near 尊爵大飯店, such as 福泰汽車, 桃園市大佳計程車, 祥瑞安心運輸 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$7,210 and 8,700, but you could save up to NT$3,200 by booking with Tripool instead. However, when considering the return trip, in Tainan City there are only about 4,140 licensed taxis. This is about 75% of the number of taxis in Taoyuan City, and its density is just 4.6% of the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, making it 20 times more difficult to hail a cab there. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from 尊爵大飯店 to Lakeshore Hotel Tainan in terms of both price and service quality.

Question 4

Will tripool provide a receipt for my booking? Can I use it for employee expense reimbursement?

Accepted Answer

Tripool will send a receipt through the third-party system one week after the ride. If passengers need to claim reimbursement for travel expenses, there is a blank to fill with the company's title and tax ID. It's legal, and there is no extra 5% for the receipt. Once the receipt is received via email, it can be printed out for reimbursement or saved as a PDF.

Question 5

Why does tripool charge cheaper than other taxis?

Accepted Answer

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.

The price on tripool's website and app are dynamic. Generally, the earlier a ride is booked, the lower price it is.
