Question 1

Is taking the HSR from Window on World Theme Park to The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei a good idea?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended to take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Window on World Theme Park to The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei. 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 Window on World Theme Park (Longtan District, Taoyuan City)  and head to the nearest Taoyuan HSR station, a taxi ride would cost about NT$700 and take approximately 40 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 The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei (Daan District, Taipei City). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 1 hour and 46 minutes. Assuming one person traveling alone, the total transportation cost is NT$1,060. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, it will only cost NT$1,000, and the journey takes 58 minutes. Choosing the HSR over a private charter will not only cost at least an extra NT$60 in fares but also waste an additional 48 minutes on transfers and waiting. Book with Tripool now!

Question 2

Is it advisable to rent a car and drive from Window on World Theme Park to The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei?

Accepted Answer

Although you can choose to rent a car to drive from Window on World Theme Park to The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei, 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 Window on World Theme Park and The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei or rent the car for multiple days. In this case, the estimated cost starts at NT$2200 for a sedan and NT$5200 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.

Question 3

Would it be economical to take a taxi from Window on World Theme Park to The Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei?

Accepted Answer

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 Window on World Theme Park, such as 龍潭婦幼計程車, 金安穩衛星派遣車隊, 龍潭無線聯合車隊 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$1,285 and 1,500, but you could save up to NT$500 by booking with Tripool instead.

Question 4

Will tripool provide a receipt for my booking? Can I use it for employee expense reimbursement?

Accepted Answer

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 5

Why does tripool charge cheaper than other taxis?

Accepted Answer

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 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.
