Hualien Airport (HUN) private Transfer FAQs
- To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from downtown Hsinchu City to Hualien Airport (HUN), HSR is expensive and slow. From the earliest departure at 06:36 to the latest at 23:12, there are up to 62 high-speed rail from Hsinchu to Nangang each day. Assuming you depart from East District, Hsinchu City and head to the nearest Hsinchu HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$400 and take approximately 30 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 42-48-minute (45 min on average) HSR ride from Hsinchu Station to Nangang HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$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 207 minutes with a fare of NT$5,000, you will arrive at your destination at Hualien Airport (HUN) (Xincheng Township, Hualien County). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 5 hours and 3 minutes. Assuming 3 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$2,130. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$2,100, and the journey takes 4 hours and 37 minutes. Choosing the HSR over a private charter will not only cost each person at least an extra NT$30 in fares but also waste an additional 26 minutes on transfers and waiting. Book with Tripool now!
