Question 1

Is taking the HSR from 桃園火車站 to Kenting Street Night Market a good idea?

Accepted Answer

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from 桃園火車站 to Kenting Street Night Market, 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 Zuoying each day. Assuming you depart from 桃園火車站 (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 84-111-minute (101 min on average) HSR ride from Taoyuan Station to Zuoying HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$1,330 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 144 minutes with a fare of NT$3,600, you will arrive at your destination at Kenting Street Night Market (Hengchun Township, Pingtung County). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 4 hours and 58 minutes. Assuming 3 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$2,700. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$2,620, and the journey takes 6 hours and 2 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$240. 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 with just one other person, 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 桃園火車站 to Kenting Street Night Market?

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 行通租賃, 強茂租賃, 駿霖小客車租賃, available in the 桃園火車站 - 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 桃園火車站 and Kenting Street Night Market, the estimated cost for a sedan is NT$5300 or NT$8300 for a 9-seater van. This is, of course, cheaper than taking a taxi.  If you plan to sightsee along the way to Kenting Street Night Market, 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 桃園火車站, 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 桃園火車站 to Kenting Street Night Market?

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 桃園火車站, such as 亞洲衛星計程車, 大文山衛星車隊, 祥瑞安心運輸 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$10,735 and 12,900, but you could save up to NT$5,100 by booking with Tripool instead. However, when considering the return trip, in Pingtung County there are only about 370 licensed taxis. This is about 5% of the number of taxis in Taoyuan City, and its density is just 0.3% of the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, making it 310 times more difficult to hail a cab there. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from 桃園火車站 to Kenting Street Night Market in terms of both price and service quality.

Question 4

How can I book a round trip? Is it cheaper to hire a driver for a return trip?

Accepted Answer

Every order can only reserve one car, and it is easier for passengers to make any change or cancelation. Please make two separate bookings on the website or the app if passengers need a round trip. There is no particular promotion about a round trip for now, but it's welcome to use any coupon for each ride.

Question 6

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.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer
