Keelung Harbor to 立新國小 - compare routes, time & cost
There are many ways to travel from a harbor to Taichung City, but if you want to balance cost, time, and convenience without driving yourself, booking a private transfer is usually the best option. When choosing among the many car hire ads and ride-hailing groups, legality should be your top priority. If the booking is handled directly by the driver instead of through a licensed company or travel agency, you could face problems if stopped by the police—and if the vehicle’s license plate does not begin with T or R, it is essentially illegal (commonly referred to as an unlicensed private car). Before booking, it’s also wise to check the company or platform’s reviews online. While higher average ratings on Google Maps or Facebook suggest better service, the number of reviews matters just as much—platforms with thousands of reviews are far more reliable than those with only a few dozen. Tripool is a fully licensed ride-hailing platform in Taiwan. For example, if you’re planning to travel from the main island to and need transfers between Keelung Harbor and 立新國小, you can check fares instantly online with full transparency. All payments are made securely by credit card or convenience store checkout, ensuring traceable transactions and eliminating the disputes often caused by cash payments.

立新國小 private Transfer FAQs
- To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Keelung Harbor to 立新國小, HSR is comfortable and quick but pricey. From the earliest departure at 06:15 to the latest at 22:50, there are up to 101 high-speed rail from Nangang to Taichung each day. Assuming you depart from Keelung Harbor (Renai District, Keelung City) and head to the nearest Nangang HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$600 and take approximately 29 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 58-77-minute (68 min on average) HSR ride from Nangang Station to Taichung HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$750 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 22 minutes with a fare of NT$300, you will arrive at your destination at 立新國小 (Dali District, Taichung City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 2 hours and 29 minutes. Assuming 4 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$980. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$800, and the journey takes 2 hours and 45 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster than a car by 16 minutes, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$720. 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.
- If you have a Taiwanese driver's license, are confident in your driving skills, and you do not need to rest in the car (since you will be the one driving), and most importantly, if you plan to make a same-day round trip, then iRent, which allows you to pick up and drop off a car on the street in the Keelung City area, is likely your cheapest option. After registering on the iRent app, you can rent a small car for NT$115-205 per hour with an additional charge of NT$3.2 per kilometer. The estimated cost from Keelung Harbor to 立新國小 is between NT$2650 and NT$3350 (the price difference depends on weekday/weekend rates, car model, and how soon you make the return trip after reaching your destination). Although the estimate already includes potential eTag tolls and a roadside parking fee of NT$40 per hour, you are responsible for any additional car insurance and potential traffic fines. Furthermore, iRent by Hotai only offers basic models like the Toyota Yaris, Prius C, and Vios—functional, yes, but far from the comfort you'd expect for anything beyond a grocery run. If your group has more than four people, larger 7-seater or 9-seater vehicles are not available. Moreover, the most common complaint about self-service car-sharing services is the vehicle's condition; you might open the door to find trash left by the previous user or unrepaired dents. Every rental feels like opening a blind box—sometimes fine, sometimes frustrating. Additionally, you might occasionally face issues like the previous user not returning the car on time for your reservation, or being unable to find a parking spot when you need to return it. This poses a significant risk for those in a hurry or traveling with other passengers. Finally, while picking up and dropping off the car on the street seems convenient, it is restricted to specific operational zones. The available parking spots may still be some distance away from your actual departure or arrival point, making it very inconvenient in rainy weather or when carrying luggage.
- If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Keelung City area, you can use apps to hail a cab from 55688 Taiwan Taxi, Uber, and Yoxi, and if you cannot hail a cab on the street, you can also consider calling taxi fleets near Keelung Harbor, such as 穩泰交通, 建源計程車 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$4,965 and 6,000, but you could save up to NT$2,800 by booking with Tripool instead. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from Keelung Harbor to 立新國小 in terms of both price and service quality.
- 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.
- Tripool will send a receipt through the third-party system one week after the ride. If passengers need to claim reimbursement for travel expenses, there is a blank to fill with the company's title and tax ID. It's legal, and there is no extra 5% for the receipt. Once the receipt is received via email, it can be printed out for reimbursement or saved as a PDF.
- Passengers can request additional stops for a ride from Keelung Harbor to 立新國小. Every 5 km of additional distance for a stop charges NT$200, whether it is along the way or not. It's necessary for the driver's extra time.
- Tripool provides 5-seater sedans, SUVs, and 9-seater vans for private car service. Toyota, Ford, Volkswagen are the most used brands, and there are also a few Lexus, Tesla, and Mercedes-Benz. All vehicles are legal, in good condition, non-smoking, and with up to $5 million insurance. If you have special requests or passengers are more than 8, tripool can arrange a VW Crafter, a 20-seater minibus, or a 40-seater tour bus. Please fill up the request form on our homepage, and we will provide a quote.
- 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.
