Question 1

Is it advisable to rent a car and drive from TRA Taichung Station 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 Taiwanese driver's license, are confident in your driving skills, and you do not need to rest in the car (since you will be the one driving), and most importantly, if you plan to make a same-day round trip, then iRent, which allows you to pick up and drop off a car on the street in the Taichung City area, is likely your cheapest option. After registering on the iRent app, you can rent a small car for NT$115-205 per hour with an additional charge of NT$3.2 per kilometer. The estimated cost from TRA Taichung Station 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 is between NT$1350 and NT$1950 (the price difference depends on weekday/weekend rates, car model, and how soon you make the return trip after reaching your destination). Although the estimate already includes potential eTag tolls and a roadside parking fee of NT$40 per hour, you are responsible for any additional car insurance and potential traffic fines. Furthermore, iRent by Hotai only offers basic models like the Toyota Yaris, Prius C, and Vios—functional, yes, but far from the comfort you'd expect for anything beyond a grocery run. If your group has more than four people, larger 7-seater or 9-seater vehicles are not available. Moreover, the most common complaint about self-service car-sharing services is the vehicle's condition; you might open the door to find trash left by the previous user or unrepaired dents. Every rental feels like opening a blind box—sometimes fine, sometimes frustrating. Additionally, you might occasionally face issues like the previous user not returning the car on time for your reservation, or being unable to find a parking spot when you need to return it. This poses a significant risk for those in a hurry or traveling with other passengers. Finally, while picking up and dropping off the car on the street seems convenient, it is restricted to specific operational zones. The available parking spots may still be some distance away from your actual departure or arrival point, making it very inconvenient in rainy weather or when carrying luggage.

Question 2

Would it be economical to take a taxi from TRA Taichung Station 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 Taichung 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 Taichung Station, such as 福海交通, 靜華交通, 全利計程車 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$2,100 and 2,500, which is not significantly different from Tripool. By comparison, Tripool offers a fixed, transparent fare that will not change due to traffic or detours. However, when considering the return trip, in Nantou County there are only about 340 licensed taxis. This is about 4% of the number of taxis in Taichung City, and its density is just 0.2% of the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, making it 490 times more difficult to hail a cab there. Furthermore, some taxi drivers in Taichung City flat-out refuse to use the meter. Nearly 27% 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 TRA Taichung Station 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 3

Which is the best taxi app in Taiwan? Uber? Grab? Didi? Bolt? Lyft?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Question 5

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 6

Do tripool and the drivers provide legal car-hiring services in Taichung City and Nantou County?

Accepted Answer

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.
