Kaohsiung→嘉仕特飯店 Jiashite Hotel

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from downtown Kaohsiung to 嘉仕特飯店 Jiashite Hotel, HSR is comfortable and quick but pricey. From the earliest departure at 05:50 to the latest at 21:54, there are up to 58 high-speed rail from Zuoying to Taoyuan each day. Assuming you depart from Sanmin District, Kaohsiung City and head to the nearest Zuoying HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$200 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 94-113-minute (101 min on average) HSR ride from Zuoying Station to Taoyuan HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$1,330 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 28 minutes with a fare of NT$500, you will arrive at your destination at 嘉仕特飯店 Jiashite Hotel (Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 2 hours and 55 minutes. Assuming 4 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$1,510. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$1,340, and the journey takes 4 hours and 20 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$680. 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 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 25 rental car companies, such as 太平小客車租賃, 翊婕國際小客車租賃, 凱薩小客車租賃, available in the Sanmin District, Kaohsiung 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 Kaohsiung (Sanmin District) and 嘉仕特飯店 Jiashite Hotel, the estimated cost for a sedan is NT$4400 or NT$7400 for a 9-seater van. This is, of course, cheaper than taking a taxi. However, if 嘉仕特飯店 Jiashite Hotel has extensive indoor facilities or the attractions you want to visit are nearby, renting a car for the entire day seems wasteful. Moreover, the rental location may be some distance from your home/office/starting point, 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 your group has more than four people or has large luggage, renting a 9-seater van will be too expensive. It would be better to book a chauffeured service to avoid the hassle of unfamiliar roads or driving a large vehicle. A Tripool ride from Kaohsiung (Sanmin District) to 嘉仕特飯店 Jiashite Hotel costs only NT$7,189 for a van!

Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$6,515 and 7,800, but you could save up to NT$2,400 by booking with Tripool instead.

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.

Once the receipt is received via email, it can be printed out for reimbursement or saved as a PDF.

Some drivers in Line and Facebook groups claim that they can offer private transportation services with a group of more than 8 in a single van, but their services are illegal. According to Taiwan traffic laws, a van can only accommodate nine people maximum, including a driver. Excluding a driver, the maximum number of passengers is 8. If your group is 9 or more and you prefer to travel together in one vehicle, a bus is the only legal option. Some 9-seater van drivers modify their cars and add one or two extra chairs. If these modified vans are detected by the polices on the street, your trip will be terminated immediately. Worst of all, there are additional risks for accidents. And insurance is definitely not covering it. Don't risk your family's and friends' life for a lower price. If your group is no more than 10, we recommend hiring a 9-seater van and a 5-seater sedan. It is cheaper than booking a bus on most occasions. But if your group is more than 12, hiring a bus may be ideal. However, there are few exceptions, such as traveling to mountain areas or narrow lanes. It is better to consult our online service before booking.
