Taipei to 安和三街 - train, bus, taxi vs tripool: time & cost
Looking for transportation from Taipei to Xitun District, Taichung City? Aside from driving yourself, booking a private transfer is without a doubt the best balance of cost, time, and convenience. But when choosing such a service, legality should always be your first concern. Those Facebook ads or Line groups where drivers accept bookings individually rather than through a company are often so-called “pirate taxis” (whose license plates do not begin with the letters T or R), which exposes your trip to the risk of being stopped and fined by the police. Equally important are online reviews—platforms with thousands of positive ratings are clearly more trustworthy than those with only a handful. Tripool is exactly that kind of legal and reliable choice. As a government-licensed ride-hailing platform, we guarantee fully transparent fares from Taipei City to 安和三街, with secure and traceable payments made online by credit card or at convenience stores, eliminating the risks and disputes of cash transactions. Tripool provides Taiwan long-distance transportation with daily cleaning and disinfection for vehicles. Pay at ease with credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The private car fee starts from NT$2359 to 安和三街 from Taipei. Tripool's selling point is a reliable private car service with the lowest price. There is no problem if you need a last-minute booking. Safe, reliable, and always on time.
After analyzing the available data, we found the following alternatives to private charters or transfers. For the journey from Taipei to 安和三街, the fastest land transportation is high-speed rail, but if you do not want to spend a lot of money, a Tripool private car transfer is the most cost-saving option for a group of 3-8 people. The data in the following table is based on a party of 3 and compares the pros and cons of a private car transfer, car rental, taxi, and high-speed rail. For a more complete analysis of transportation costs and time, please see the FAQ below. Assuming a solo traveler is not in a hurry, Tripool's carpool service offers a better price in exchange for a bit more travel time, at just NT$1,400 per person (for details, please click the yellow button to inquire).

安和三街 private Transfer FAQs
- 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.
- To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from downtown Taipei to 安和三街, HSR is comfortable and quick but pricey. From the earliest departure at 06:26 to the latest at 23:00, there are up to 102 high-speed rail from Taipei to Taichung each day. Assuming you depart from Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, you may walk or take a bus—if available—to Taipei HSR station. Including walking to the platform, buying a ticket, and waiting for the train, it takes at least 25 minutes. Then, take a 47-66-minute (57 min on average) HSR ride from Taipei Station to Taichung HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$700 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 17 minutes with a fare of NT$300, you will arrive at your destination at 安和三街 (Xitun District, Taichung City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 1 hour and 49 minutes. Assuming 3 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$800. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$790, and the journey takes 2 hours and 23 minutes. For long-distance travel, the HSR is indeed faster, but it comes with an extra transportation cost of about NT$30. 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.
- Although you can choose to rent a car to drive from Taipei to 安和三街, 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. If your daily mileage exceeds 200-400 km, there will be an additional surcharge of NT$100-2,000. Since the vast majority of rental companies do not offer one-way rentals, you either need to make a same-day round trip between Taipei and 安和三街 or rent the car for multiple days. In this case, the estimated cost starts at NT$3100 for a sedan and NT$6100 for a 9-seater van. Booking a one-way private transfer with the Tripool app is the most affordable and convenient option for traveling to the 安和三街.
- 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, such as 日昇計程車, 廣利交通, 北松衛星車隊 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$4,165 and 5,000, but you could save up to NT$2,600 by booking with Tripool instead. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from Taipei to 安和三街 in terms of both price and service quality.
- 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 Taipei to 安和三街, it's better to reserve it now to secure the best price.
- Among these options, Uber is the only one with broad and reliable coverage in Taiwan, available in major cities such as Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung. Grab does not operate in Taiwan. Didi previously entered the market but has since exited. Bolt has just launched in Taiwan and is currently limited to Taipei. Lyft is not available in Taiwan. If you are choosing among these five, Uber is by far the most practical and widely used option in Taiwan. However, for longer intercity transfers, airport rides, or day trips, tripool is often a better choice—offering transparent pricing, professional drivers, and coverage across Taiwan.
- Every order can only reserve one car, and it is easier for passengers to make any change or cancelation. Please make two separate bookings on the website or the app if passengers need a round trip. There is no particular promotion about a round trip for now, but it's welcome to use any coupon for each ride.
- 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.
