Changhua→小花園夢想生活家: booking a private car saves you the most

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Changhua to 小花園夢想生活家, HSR is comfortable and quick but pricey and has difficult taxi access. From the earliest departure at 06:25 to the latest at 23:07, there are up to 89 high-speed rail from Taichung to Zuoying each day. Assuming you depart from Changhua City, Changhua County and head to the nearest Taichung HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$300 and take approximately 25 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 45-68-minute (57 min on average) HSR ride from Taichung Station to Zuoying HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$790 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 21 minutes with a fare of NT$200, you will arrive at your destination at 小花園夢想生活家 (Sanmin District, Kaohsiung City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 2 hours and 12 minutes. Assuming 3 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$960. However, in Changhua County, there are only just over 1,600 licensed taxis. The taxi density is 3.7% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area. In other words, hailing a taxi on the spot is 30 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 Changhua 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$870, and the journey takes 2 hours and 32 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster than a car by 20 minutes, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$270. Therefore, for those who are not in a major hurry, booking with Tripool is the more cost-effective option. 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.

Although you can choose to rent a car to drive from Changhua to 小花園夢想生活家, 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. If your daily mileage exceeds 200-400 km, there will be an additional surcharge of NT$100-2,000. Since the vast majority of rental companies do not offer one-way rentals, you either need to make a same-day round trip between Changhua and 小花園夢想生活家 or rent the car for multiple days. In this case, the estimated cost starts at NT$3100 for a sedan and NT$6100 for a 9-seater van.

Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$3,550 and 4,300, but you could save up to NT$1,700 by booking with Tripool instead. But if you cannot book in advance or prefer to hail a cab on the spot, be aware that in the whole Changhua County, there are only about 1,640 licensed taxis.
