TRA Zhubei Station to Taoyuan Airport (TPE) - meet & greet
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 Zhubei 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 County, our driver will already have checked your flight details and planned the best route to Taoyuan Airport (TPE). 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$800, offers excellent value for solo travelers, while groups or families will find the 9-seater vans starting from NT$1700 both spacious and comfortable, with the option to add child safety seats for extra peace of mind. Don’t let uncertainty on the way to the airport ruin your trip—book Tripool now and let us provide the most stable and reliable start to your overseas journey, ensuring you arrive at the terminal on time and in a relaxed, stress-free mood.

Taoyuan Airport (TPE) private Transfer FAQs
- 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.
- It is not recommended to take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from TRA Zhubei Station to Taoyuan Airport (TPE). HSR is expensive, slow, involves transfer hassles, and has difficult taxi access. Although there can be up to 63 trains from Hsinchu to Taoyuan a day, running from the first at 06:36 to the last at 23:27, once service ends for the night until early morning, alternative transportation is still required. Assuming you depart from TRA Zhubei Station (Zhubei City, Hsinchu County) , you may walk or take a bus—if available—to Hsinchu HSR station. Including walking to the platform, buying a ticket, and waiting for the train, it takes at least 15 minutes. Then, take a 10-12-minute (11 min on average) HSR ride from Hsinchu Station to Taoyuan HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$130 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 20 minutes with a fare of NT$400, you will arrive at your destination at Taoyuan Airport (TPE) (Dayuan District, Taoyuan City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 51 minutes. Assuming 8 people traveling together (and have to split into two taxis), the average cost per person for the HSR and transfers is NT$230. However, in Hsinchu County, there are only just over 700 licensed taxis. The taxi density is 1.3% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area. In other words, hailing a taxi on the spot is 80 times more difficult than in a major city like Taipei. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, the average cost per person is about NT$220, and the journey takes 50 minutes. Choosing the HSR over a private charter will not only cost each person at least an extra NT$10 in fares but also waste extra time on transfers and waiting. Book with Tripool now! 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.
- Travelers usually do not choose to rent or drive to Taoyuan Airport (TPE). 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 County 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 Zhubei Station, such as 竹北-Ap車隊, 第一計程車, 銓順交通 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$1,370 and 1,600, but by booking with the Tripool app, you can get a private car service for about a 15-30% discount. But if you cannot book in advance or prefer to hail a cab on the spot, be aware that in the whole Hsinchu County, there are only about 730 licensed taxis. The taxi density is just 1.3% of that in the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, meaning it is 80 times more difficult to hail a cab on the spot compared to Taipei or New Taipei. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from TRA Zhubei Station to Taoyuan Airport (TPE) in terms of both price and service quality.
- Generally, international travelers have to reach the airport to check-in at least 2 hours before departure. However, we highly recommend having another 30 minutes buffer time. Taking a ride from Taichung City to Taoyuan Airport, for example, takes 1.5 hours to travel on a regular day. If your flight is 10 AM, it's better to schedule a taxi before 6 AM. After a plane landing, Taiwan citizens may take 30~40 minutes to collect their luggage but 60~90 minutes for foreigners. To avoid extra cost, reserving a taxi one hour later the arrival is ideal.
- 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.
- Whether going from TRA Zhubei Station to Taoyuan Airport (TPE) or to anywhere in Taiwan, tripool can be your driver for long-distance traveling. You can reserve a ride online for all kinds of purposes, such as a private day trip, attending a wedding, checking out from a hospital, going hiking/camping, moving, a business trip, picking up your pet, or airport transfer. As long as your reservation is made one day before by 6 pm, tripool guarantees a car for you tomorrow. If you need a receipt for a business trip, you can provide your company's title and tax ID on the checkout page. We will send the receipt which is accepted by the government via email within a week.
