Taipei Airport (TSA) to Chinshan Hotel - meet & greet
For travelers who have already spent hours on a flight, the last thing you want is to drag your luggage up and down escalators to catch the airport MRT or transfer to the HSR—it’s simply exhausting. Taxis at the terminal entrance can be just as frustrating, with small, uncomfortable vehicles or long waits during peak hours. Booking in advance on platforms like KLOOK, KKDAY, or Trip.com is convenient, but for foreign visitors without a Taiwanese phone number or who don’t speak Chinese, meeting the driver often becomes a real headache. Tripool is a locally based airport transfer platform in Taiwan that solves these problems. The day before your ride, you’ll receive your driver’s name, license plate, and vehicle details. If you’ve downloaded our app, you can even use the airport’s free Wi-Fi to track your driver’s GPS location, send free in-app messages, and rely on the built-in instant translation feature—so you’ll never have to worry about communication barriers. Best of all, our fares are cheaper than taxis. When your flight arrives at Taipei Airport (TSA), let our licensed, professional drivers take you directly to Chinshan Hotel.
After analyzing the available data, we found the following alternatives to private charters or transfers.

Chinshan Hotel private Transfer FAQs
- As long as you can choose the date, time, and finish the booking on our website or the app, tripool guarantees our driver will show up. However, tripool is not a ride-hailing yellow cab company. All the reservations have to be pre-booked. If you want to go to Chinshan Hotel from Taipei Airport (TSA), the soonest is finishing the booking four hours in advance.
- To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Taipei Airport (TSA) to Chinshan Hotel, HSR is quick but pricey. From the earliest departure at 06:26 to the latest at 22:16, there are up to 59 high-speed rail from Taipei to Chiayi each day. Assuming you depart from Taipei Airport (TSA) (Songshan District, Taipei City) and head to the nearest Taipei HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$300 and take approximately 17 minutes. After arriving at the HSR station, the time to walk in, purchase tickets, and wait on the platform is about 25 minutes. Then, take a 73-103-minute (91 min on average) HSR ride from Taipei Station to Chiayi HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$1,080 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 142 minutes with a fare of NT$2,600, you will arrive at your destination at Chinshan Hotel (Alishan Township, Chiayi County). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 4 hours and 40 minutes. Assuming 4 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$1,810. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$1,780, and the journey takes 5 hours and 27 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster than a car by 47 minutes, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$120. 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 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 40 rental car companies, such as 艾卡國際小客車租賃, 丸子小客車租賃, 飛達汽車租賃, available in the Taipei Airport (TSA) - Songshan District, Taipei 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 Taipei Airport (TSA) and Chinshan Hotel, the estimated cost for a sedan is NT$4500 or NT$7500 for a 9-seater van. This is, of course, cheaper than taking a taxi. However, if Chinshan 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 Taipei Airport (TSA), 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 you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Taipei 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 near Taipei Airport (TSA), such as 志英衛星, 國聯交通, 志英衛星車隊 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$8,340 and 10,000, but you could save up to NT$2,900 by booking with Tripool instead. However, when considering the return trip, in Chiayi County there are only about 330 licensed taxis. This is about 1% of the number of taxis in Taipei City, and its density is just 0.4% of the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, making it 240 times more difficult to hail a cab there. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from Taipei Airport (TSA) to Chinshan Hotel in terms of both price and service quality.
- If your flight is delayed, you can contact our online customer service. We will try our best to reschedule a car for your new time. 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.
- Tripool provides private day tours and charter services all around the island, including Chinshan Hotel and Taipei Airport (TSA). Tourists are welcome to choose from point-to-point transportation service to 2~12 hours private trip service. The price is 100% transparent without any hidden fee. 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. But if you only need a few hours or just a one-way transfer service, we can guarantee that our price is the most competitive in the market and tripool is the best choice. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
