Question 1

Is taking the HSR from Kaohsiung to Taichung Ubus terminal a good idea?

Accepted Answer

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from downtown Kaohsiung to Taichung Ubus terminal, HSR is comfortable and quick but pricey. From the earliest departure at 05:50 to the latest at 22:55, there are up to 90 high-speed rail from Zuoying to Taichung 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 42-69-minute (57 min on average) HSR ride from Zuoying Station to Taichung 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 32 minutes with a fare of NT$400, you will arrive at your destination at Taichung Ubus terminal (East District, Taichung City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes. Assuming 4 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$940. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$820, and the journey takes 2 hours and 45 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$480. 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.

Question 2

Is it advisable to rent a car and drive from Kaohsiung to Taichung Ubus terminal?

Accepted Answer

Travelers usually do not choose to rent or drive to Taichung Ubus terminal. After all, leaving a car parked for multiple days means that parking fees and rental costs become a substantial expense.

Question 3

Would it be economical to take a taxi from Kaohsiung to Taichung Ubus terminal?

Accepted Answer

If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Kaohsiung 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, such as 好客來計程車, 有限責任高雄市大昌計程車, 有限責任高雄市大高雄計程車 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$4,215 and 5,100, but you could save up to NT$1,800 by booking with Tripool instead. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from Kaohsiung to Taichung Ubus terminal in terms of both price and service quality.

Question 4

If my flight is delayed or canceled, what should I do?

But if we don't get a notification from you before landing and the driver has already reached the airport, we cannot guarantee that the rescheduled driver will be on time. You can contact our driver for an early pick-up for early arrival if our driver is available or already waiting at the airport.

Question 5

Question 6

Can I take tripool leaving an airport in Taiwan? Or I can only wait for a quarantine taxi?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Do tripool and the drivers provide legal car-hiring services in Kaohsiung City and Taichung City?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Where should I choose as a pick-up or a drop-off location if going to Taichung Ubus terminal from Kaohsiung?

Accepted Answer

Tripool offers a point-to-point private car service in Taiwan. As long as the destination connects to a road or can be searched on Google Maps, we assure you that a car can send you there. Try inputting your home/office address or a hotel's name in the search bar, and our driver will pick you up punctually and travel to a hotel or an airport with ease.
