Question 1

Is taking the HSR from Sicao Dazhong Temple to 1969 Blue Sky Hotel a good idea?

Accepted Answer

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Sicao Dazhong Temple to 1969 Blue Sky Hotel, HSR is expensive, slow, and involves transfer hassles. From the earliest departure at 07:02 to the latest at 23:32, there are up to 61 high-speed rail from Hsinchu to Taichung each day. Assuming you depart from Sicao Dazhong Temple (East District, Hsinchu City)  and head to the nearest Hsinchu HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$400 and take approximately 26 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 24-32-minute (27 min on average) HSR ride from Hsinchu Station to Taichung HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$410 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 25 minutes with a fare of NT$300, you will arrive at your destination at 1969 Blue Sky Hotel (Central District, Taichung City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 1 hour and 43 minutes. Assuming 3 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$640. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$590, and the journey takes 1 hour and 35 minutes. Choosing the HSR over a private charter will not only cost each person at least an extra NT$50 in fares but also waste an additional 8 minutes on transfers and waiting. Book with Tripool now! If you are traveling with just one other person, 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 Sicao Dazhong Temple to 1969 Blue Sky Hotel?

Accepted Answer

Although you can choose to rent a car to drive from Sicao Dazhong Temple to 1969 Blue Sky Hotel, the cost can be significant. Rental companies typically charge by the day. A small sedan like a Toyota Yaris or Nissan Kicks starts at NT$1500 per day, while a 9-seater van like a Ford Tourneo or Volkswagen Transporter costs around 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 fines are not included. Since the vast majority of rental companies do not offer one-way rentals, you either need to make a same-day round trip between Sicao Dazhong Temple and 1969 Blue Sky Hotel or rent the car for multiple days.

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Do tripool and the drivers provide legal car-hiring services in Hsinchu 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

How to book a hotel at the lowest price in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

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.
