Accepted Answer

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from downtown Tainan to 清境木木杉阿彬民宿 - 南投 仁愛 清境 民宿推薦 必住日出包棟 雲海 山景住宿首選 熱門特色星空住宿 人氣IG打卡銀河景觀 高CP值景觀旅宿 家庭 優質親子民宿評價 溜滑梯 網紅網美網友渡假 2025訂房優惠價格 旅遊休閒輕旅行 PTT Dcard, HSR is quick but pricey and has difficult taxi access. From the earliest departure at 06:03 to the latest at 23:08, there are up to 76 high-speed rail from Tainan to Taichung each day. Assuming you depart from Zhongxi District, Tainan City and head to the nearest Tainan HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$300 and take approximately 35 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 35-55-minute (46 min on average) HSR ride from Tainan Station to Taichung HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$650 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 100 minutes with a fare of NT$3,200, you will arrive at your destination at 清境木木杉阿彬民宿 - 南投 仁愛 清境 民宿推薦 必住日出包棟 雲海 山景住宿首選 熱門特色星空住宿 人氣IG打卡銀河景觀 高CP值景觀旅宿 家庭 優質親子民宿評價 溜滑梯 網紅網美網友渡假 2025訂房優惠價格 旅遊休閒輕旅行 PTT Dcard (Renai Township, Nantou County). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 3 hours and 24 minutes. Assuming 3 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$1,820. However, in Tainan City, there are only just over 4,100 licensed taxis. The taxi density is 4.6% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area. In other words, hailing a taxi on the spot is 20 times more difficult than in a major city like Taipei. Even if you are lucky enough to hail a cab, a minority of taxi drivers in Tainan City may not use the meter, and might overcharge or take detours, especially with passengers who appear to be from out of town. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$1,720, and the journey takes 3 hours and 31 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster than a car by 7 minutes, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$300. Therefore, for those who are not in a major hurry, booking with Tripool is the more cost-effective option. 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 Tainan to 清境木木杉阿彬民宿 - 南投 仁愛 清境 民宿推薦 必住日出包棟 雲海 山景住宿首選 熱門特色星空住宿 人氣IG打卡銀河景觀 高CP值景觀旅宿 家庭 優質親子民宿評價 溜滑梯 網紅網美網友渡假 2025訂房優惠價格 旅遊休閒輕旅行 PTT Dcard?

Accepted Answer

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 only a few rental car companies, such as 雲嘉小客車租賃, 國眾國際租賃, 可德租賃, available in the Zhongxi District, Tainan 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 Tainan (Zhongxi District) and 清境木木杉阿彬民宿 - 南投 仁愛 清境 民宿推薦 必住日出包棟 雲海 山景住宿首選 熱門特色星空住宿 人氣IG打卡銀河景觀 高CP值景觀旅宿 家庭 優質親子民宿評價 溜滑梯 網紅網美網友渡假 2025訂房優惠價格 旅遊休閒輕旅行 PTT Dcard, the estimated cost for a sedan is NT$3500 or NT$6500 for a 9-seater van. This is, of course, cheaper than taking a taxi. But if you only need a one-way trip and will return a day or more later, then renting a car is very inconvenient. 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.

Question 3

Would it be economical to take a taxi from Tainan to 清境木木杉阿彬民宿 - 南投 仁愛 清境 民宿推薦 必住日出包棟 雲海 山景住宿首選 熱門特色星空住宿 人氣IG打卡銀河景觀 高CP值景觀旅宿 家庭 優質親子民宿評價 溜滑梯 網紅網美網友渡假 2025訂房優惠價格 旅遊休閒輕旅行 PTT Dcard?

Accepted Answer

If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Tainan 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 一成計程汽車行 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$4,495 and 5,400, which is not significantly different from Tripool. By comparison, Tripool offers a fixed, transparent fare that will not change due to traffic or detours. But if you cannot book in advance or prefer to hail a cab on the spot, be aware that in the whole Tainan City, there are only about 4,140 licensed taxis. The taxi density is just 4.6% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, meaning it is 20 times more difficult to hail a cab on the spot compared to Taipei or New Taipei. If you plan to make a return trip on the same or next day, be aware that taxis are even harder to find in 清境木木杉阿彬民宿 - 南投 仁愛 清境 民宿推薦 必住日出包棟 雲海 山景住宿首選 熱門特色星空住宿 人氣IG打卡銀河景觀 高CP值景觀旅宿 家庭 優質親子民宿評價 溜滑梯 網紅網美網友渡假 2025訂房優惠價格 旅遊休閒輕旅行 PTT Dcard (in the Nantou County area), as Nantou County has only about 342 taxis. It is recommended to plan ahead. Furthermore, some taxi drivers in Tainan City flat-out refuse to use the meter. Nearly 17% of them will try to negotiate the fare on the spot—often asking far above the standard rate. If you’re not familiar with local pricing, you are an easy target. To avoid getting ripped off, it is strongly advised to book online in advance. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from Tainan to 清境木木杉阿彬民宿 - 南投 仁愛 清境 民宿推薦 必住日出包棟 雲海 山景住宿首選 熱門特色星空住宿 人氣IG打卡銀河景觀 高CP值景觀旅宿 家庭 優質親子民宿評價 溜滑梯 網紅網美網友渡假 2025訂房優惠價格 旅遊休閒輕旅行 PTT Dcard in terms of both price and service quality.

Question 4

Will tripool provide a receipt for my booking? Can I use it for employee expense reimbursement?

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 5

Why does tripool charge cheaper than other taxis?

Accepted Answer

For regular long-distance travelers, they find Tripool's price may be too low to be good. On the contrary, Tripool has a high standard for selecting drivers and vehicles. 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. Tripool can provide excellent service with 70~80% of the market price because of AI algorithms. We use these to dispatch vehicles to increase efficiency. Tripool can use fewer drivers to serve more travelers, especially in high seasons like Chinese New Year, Christmas, and summer vacation. Fewer drivers mean better quality control. The price on tripool's website and app are dynamic. Generally, the earlier a ride is booked, the lower price it is. Most of all, all booking are 100% refundable as long as the cancelation request is made one day before noon, no matter what the reason is. If you are preparing to go from Tainan to 清境木木杉阿彬民宿 - 南投 仁愛 清境 民宿推薦 必住日出包棟 雲海 山景住宿首選 熱門特色星空住宿 人氣IG打卡銀河景觀 高CP值景觀旅宿 家庭 優質親子民宿評價 溜滑梯 網紅網美網友渡假 2025訂房優惠價格 旅遊休閒輕旅行 PTT Dcard, it's better to reserve it now to secure the best price.

Question 6

How can I make sure the driver will pick me up? What if the driver doesn't show up?

Accepted Answer

Once the booking process is completed and getting an order ID, the reservation is confirmed. Tripool promises a private car will pick passengers up on time. All the essential information, such as the driver's name, mobile number, car model, and car plate number, will be sent via SMS and email. If the driver is not at the pick-up location, passengers can contact the driver via mobile phone. The driver may be away due to a lack of parking space and waiting nearby. Suppose there is some serious emergency or traffic jam to delay the trip. In that case, tripool will rearrange a driver to reduce passengers' waiting time.

Question 7

Does tripool provide charter tour services? Is there a price list that I can check first?

Accepted Answer

Tripool provides private day tours and charter services all around the island, including 清境木木杉阿彬民宿 - 南投 仁愛 清境 民宿推薦 必住日出包棟 雲海 山景住宿首選 熱門特色星空住宿 人氣IG打卡銀河景觀 高CP值景觀旅宿 家庭 優質親子民宿評價 溜滑梯 網紅網美網友渡假 2025訂房優惠價格 旅遊休閒輕旅行 PTT Dcard and Tainan.

What you see on the website/app is the actual price. There is no need to email us or even make a phone call to verify. The full-day service price may not be lower than other providers.

We offer 5-seater sedans, SUVs, and 9-seater vans. If your group is more than 9, we can arrange a bigger bus for you.

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.
