山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa to Lavender Cottage Taichung - tripool
Staying at the comfortable 山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa in Yilan County, the morning sunshine calls you to explore the long-awaited Lavender Cottage Taichung and the nearby Xinfeng Fruit Farm, Lavender Cottage, Dakeng Trail No.9-1. But the thought of walking to the bus stop, figuring out timetables, and enduring a bumpy, crowded ride can easily cut your excitement in half. Renting a car might seem like an option, but dealing with unfamiliar roads, frustrating parking, and the fatigue of driving all day can leave you too drained to truly enjoy the scenery. Why not leave the hassle of transportation to Tripool? We offer private transfers that pick you up right at your accommodation at 山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa or nearby stays like Yunoyado Onsen Hot Spring Hotel - Deyang Branch, 礁溪晶泉丰旅 Wellspring by Silks Jiaoxi, Chuang-Tang Spring Hotel Flagship and take you directly to the entrance of Lavender Cottage Taichung. Enjoy a relaxed breakfast at your hotel or B&B before stepping into one of our vehicles, driven by professional chauffeurs who know the roads well and ensure you arrive safely and comfortably in about 220 minutes. For groups of friends or families, booking a sedan starting from NT$5000 or a 9-seater van from NT$6500 provides both space and great value when costs are shared. You can also choose an hourly ride plan to flexibly explore hidden spots along the way, making Tripool your best companion for discovering Taichung City and creating a truly relaxing, personalized journey.

Lavender Cottage Taichung private Transfer FAQs
- To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from 山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa to Lavender Cottage Taichung, HSR is quick but pricey and has difficult taxi access. From the earliest departure at 06:15 to the latest at 22:50, there are up to 101 high-speed rail from Nangang to Taichung each day. Assuming you depart from 山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa (Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County) and head to the nearest Nangang HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$900 and take approximately 50 minutes. After arriving at the HSR station, the time to walk in, purchase tickets, and wait on the platform is about 20 minutes. Then, take a 58-77-minute (68 min on average) HSR ride from Nangang Station to Taichung HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$750 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 52 minutes with a fare of NT$1,000, you will arrive at your destination at Lavender Cottage Taichung (Xinshe District, Taichung City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 3 hours and 20 minutes. Assuming 5 people traveling together (and have to split into two taxis), the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$1,510. However, in Yilan County, there are only just over 700 licensed taxis. The taxi density is 0.9% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area. In other words, hailing a taxi on the spot is 100 times more difficult than in a major city like Taipei. Even if you are lucky enough to hail a cab, a minority of taxi drivers in Yilan County may not use the meter, and might overcharge or take detours, especially with passengers who appear to be from out of town. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$1,310, and the journey takes 3 hours and 38 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster than a car by 18 minutes, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$1,000. Therefore, for those who are not in a major hurry, booking with Tripool is the more cost-effective option. 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.
- 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 5 rental car companies, such as 欣詠順小客車租賃, 博旅天下租賃, 紅桂國際租賃, available in the 山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa - Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 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 山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa and Lavender Cottage Taichung, the estimated cost for a sedan is NT$3400 or NT$6400 for a 9-seater van. This is, of course, cheaper than taking a taxi. If you plan to sightsee along the way to Lavender Cottage Taichung, renting a car for the day is certainly convenient and affordable, but it means the driver will not get to relax or fully enjoy the trip. Moreover, the rental location may be some distance from 山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa, 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.
- If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Yilan County 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 山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa, such as 三全計程車, 三全計程汽車行, 礁溪計程車 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$4,450 and 5,300, which is not significantly different from Tripool. By comparison, Tripool offers a fixed, transparent fare that will not change due to traffic or detours. But if you cannot book in advance or prefer to hail a cab on the spot, be aware that in the whole Yilan County, there are only about 750 licensed taxis. The taxi density is just 0.9% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, meaning it is 100 times more difficult to hail a cab on the spot compared to Taipei or New Taipei. Furthermore, some taxi drivers in Yilan County flat-out refuse to use the meter. Nearly 47% of them will try to negotiate the fare on the spot—often asking far above the standard rate. If you’re not familiar with local pricing, you are an easy target. To avoid getting ripped off, it is strongly advised to book online in advance. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from 山形閣 Yamagata Kaku Hotel & Spa to Lavender Cottage Taichung in terms of both price and service quality.

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.
