Holiday Inn Express Chiayi by IHG to Taoyuan Airport (TPE) - tripool
After several days of traveling around Taiwan, it’s finally time to head home, but before leaving, most travelers want to pick up some local gifts—whether to thank colleagues who covered for them at work, to bring something back for parents, or simply as a treat for themselves. With boxes of Suncakes, pineapple cakes, instant noodles, and other souvenirs packed and ready, taking the MRT or HSR to Taoyuan Airport (TPE) is no longer realistic. Of course, you could ask the front desk at Holiday Inn Express Chiayi by IHG to call a car on the day of departure, but that often means paying an extra NT$300–500 in tips to the staff. If you want to save money and avoid the hassle, download the Tripool app in advance. Private transfers start from NT$4300, and the ride from Chiayi City to the airport takes about 180 minutes. Since passengers are required to arrive at the airport at least two hours before check-in, please be sure to schedule your pickup time accordingly.

Taoyuan Airport (TPE) private Transfer FAQs
- 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.
- To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Holiday Inn Express Chiayi by IHG to Taoyuan Airport (TPE), HSR is comfortable and quick but pricey. From the earliest departure at 06:21 to the latest at 22:32, there are up to 58 high-speed rail from Chiayi to Taoyuan each day. Assuming you depart from Holiday Inn Express Chiayi by IHG (West District, Chiayi City) and head to the nearest Chiayi HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$400 and take approximately 23 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 61-80-minute (68 min on average) HSR ride from Chiayi Station to Taoyuan HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$920 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 20 minutes with a fare of NT$400, you will arrive at your destination at Taoyuan Airport (TPE) (Dayuan District, Taoyuan City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 2 hours and 11 minutes. Assuming 4 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$1,120. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$1,080, and the journey takes 2 hours and 59 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$160. 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.
- Travelers usually do not choose to rent or drive to Taoyuan Airport (TPE). After all, leaving a car parked for multiple days means that parking fees and rental costs become a substantial expense.
- If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Chiayi City area, you can use apps to hail a cab from 55688 Taiwan Taxi, and if you cannot hail a cab on the street, you can also consider calling taxi fleets near Holiday Inn Express Chiayi by IHG, such as 台灣嘉義大車隊, 大嘉義高鐵車隊, 嘉義萬全無線計程車 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$4,655 and 5,600, but you could save up to NT$1,300 by booking with Tripool instead. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from Holiday Inn Express Chiayi by IHG to Taoyuan Airport (TPE) in terms of both price and service quality.
- If you are looking for a private car or a taxi from Holiday Inn Express Chiayi by IHG to Taoyuan Airport (TPE), input the pick-up and drop-off locations (or addresses) on our website. You will get an actual quote in just three seconds. Follow the yellow buttons, fill up your travel information, and choose the payment methods.

- According to the latest Taiwan government announcement, all international inbound travelers cannot take public transportations but only wait for quarantine taxis. If you go to a quarantine hotel near Taipei, it takes around 5 to 10 minutes to leave the airport. Bad news for passengers who will travel down to Taichung or Kaohsiung, it may take up to one hour to wait for a quarantine taxi at the airport. There is no timeline for when the government will loose the regulation. Our suggestion is staying a hotel near Taipei. It is not only the waiting time at the airport for a taxi is shorter, but always it is easier to find an available room in Taipei. After 14-day quarantine, you are welcome to reserve a ride from the hotel to your home or dormitory. Tripool guarantees to provide private car service from anywhere to everywhere in Taiwan.
- 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.
- Fewer travelers book hotels through traditional travel agents, and most go through OTAs (online travel agents). It is easy to filter areas, prices, types of rooms, special needs on OTAs' websites. Still, customers can also get a 20~40% discount compared to hotels' official websites. The most popular OTAs in Taiwan are Booking.com, Agoda.com, Hotels.com, Expedia.com, and Trip.com. In general, travelers can make reservations on websites or apps. Once finishing the online payment, everything is set, and there is not necessary to double-check the reservation by phone. However, some hotels may oversell their rooms on multiple platforms. To avoid being rejected by hotels once you arrive, choose high-rated hotels with more reviews online or make a phone call to hotels to confirm again. For B&Bs (also called minsus), locals prefer to book rooms through B&Bs' websites or contact the hosts directly. Sometimes, the price is better than OTAs. The downside is that their websites don't accept foreign credit cards or guests have to do wire transfers. If you want to save all these troubles and find decent B&Bs, Airbnb and AsiaYo (a local brand) are the best alternatives.
