Taoyuan Airport (TPE) to SWIIO HOTEL XIMEN - 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 Taoyuan Airport (TPE), let our licensed, professional drivers take you directly to SWIIO HOTEL XIMEN.

SWIIO HOTEL XIMEN private Transfer FAQs
- 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.
- It is not recommended to take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Taoyuan Airport (TPE) to SWIIO HOTEL XIMEN. HSR is expensive, slow, and involves transfer hassles. Although there can be up to 74 trains from Taoyuan to Taipei a day, running from the first at 06:49 to the last at 23:40, once service ends for the night until early morning, alternative transportation is still required. Assuming you depart from Taoyuan Airport (TPE) (Dayuan District, Taoyuan City) and head to the nearest Taoyuan HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$400 and take approximately 20 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 16-22-minute (20 min on average) HSR ride from Taoyuan Station to Taipei HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$160 per person, followed by a 15-minute walk to exit the station, wait for a ride at the taxi stand, and after a trip of about 16 minutes with a fare of NT$200, you will arrive at your destination at SWIIO HOTEL XIMEN (Wanhua District, Taipei City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 1 hour and 26 minutes. Assuming 3 people traveling together, the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$360. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$320, and the journey takes 45 minutes. Choosing the HSR over a private charter will not only cost each person at least an extra NT$40 in fares but also waste an additional 41 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.
- Although you can choose to rent a car to drive from Taoyuan Airport (TPE) to SWIIO HOTEL XIMEN, 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 Taoyuan Airport (TPE) and SWIIO HOTEL XIMEN or rent the car for multiple days. In this case, the estimated cost starts at NT$2100 for a sedan and NT$5100 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 hotel.
- If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Taoyuan 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 Taoyuan Airport (TPE), such as 菓林計程車, 游輝益自營計程車, 大園義交計程車 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$1,110 and 1,300, but by booking with the Tripool app, you can get a private car service for about a 15-30% discount. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from Taoyuan Airport (TPE) to SWIIO HOTEL XIMEN in terms of both price and service quality.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
