TRA Hsinchu Station to Taichung Airport (RMQ) - tripool
For many travelers from outside the city, the most common way to start an overseas trip is by taking the HSR or train to TRA Hsinchu Station and then transferring to the airport. However, this short connection from the station to the airport is often the riskiest part of the entire journey. Dragging heavy luggage through a large station to find the airport bus or MRT is time-consuming, and any delay during the transfer process can cause the stress of potentially missing your flight. Fixed bus or MRT schedules also may not align perfectly with your departure time, leaving you waiting for long periods at the station or airport. Tripool’s direct “station-to-airport” transfer service is designed to eliminate that stress completely, built around precision and efficiency. By the time your train is approaching Hsinchu City, our driver will already have checked your flight details and planned the best route to Taichung Airport (RMQ). As soon as you exit the station, you can get straight into your car and hand over your luggage with peace of mind. Our shared ride service, starting from NT$1300, offers excellent value for solo travelers, while groups or families will find the 9-seater vans starting from NT$2400 both spacious and comfortable, with the option to add child safety seats for extra peace of mind.

- Travelers usually do not choose to rent or drive to Taichung Airport (RMQ). After all, leaving a car parked for multiple days means that parking fees and rental costs become a substantial expense.
- If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Hsinchu 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 TRA Hsinchu Station, such as 金立衛星車隊, 龍信交通, 皇家789計程車 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$2,195 and 2,600, but you could save up to NT$1,000 by booking with Tripool instead. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from TRA Hsinchu Station to Taichung Airport (RMQ) 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- In common, a 9-seater van can accommodate eight passengers with six 30" luggage. Suppose there are fewer passengers in the car. In that case, our driver can fold down the rear seats. There will be more space for oversized objects, such as surfboards, golf clubs, instruments, foldable bikes, desktop computers, etc. As long as these objects won't block the driver's sight and do no damage to the car body, passengers can put as many luggage and items as they like. But extra charge may be needed. You can find the details in the FAQ section. We suggest measuring the size, telling how many items to our online service first, and making the order afterward.
