Dongpu Lodge private Transfer FAQs

• How to reserve a private car for hiking and camping?
  Tripool provides 24 hours private car and long-distance taxi service. It's convenient and reliable for hiking. Unlike other charter service providers, which only allow round-trip booking, Tripool can be reserved separately. This is important for a multiday trip or a trip entered from point A but out from point B. Most of all, passengers don't have to pay the driver's accommodation and meals fees. Due to rapidly-changing weather and other uncertainty, it's not easy to predict the exact pick-up time after the hiking. We recommend choosing the "hourly ride" option. Hiring our driver, which is charged hourly, is more flexible, and it makes sure that you don't have to wait for our driver or our driver doesn't have to wait for you. For cost-efficient, you are welcome to choose the "point-to-point" option when heading up the trail entrance.
• How can I choose the pick-up and drop-off locations for hiking?
  Most mountains and trails near cities, such as Yangmingshan in Taipei, Matcha Mountain in Yilan, and Fire Mountain in Miaoli, have detailed information on Google Maps. When passengers make reservations on Tripool's website or app, the trail entrances and the parking lots can be chosen as pick-up or drop-off locations. But for some long-distance trails or remote mountain areas, there are specific locations suitable for cars' accessibility. Below are some examples. Pick Shangdongpu Parking for Jade Mountain (aka Yushan), Xueshan Trailhead Service Station for Snow Mountain (aka Xueshan), Wuling Lodge for Wuling Quadruple hiking trails, Jiujiu Lodge for Dabajian Mountain, and Songsyue Lodge for Hehuanshan. For trails and mountains not listed here, you are welcome to check with our online service staff for assistance.
• Will Tripool provide a receipt for my booking? Can I use it for employee expense reimbursement?
  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.
• Why does Tripool charge cheaper than other taxis?
  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's drivers are not allowed to smoke in the cars, and they have to wear masks all the time during the pandemic. We don't compromise our service for a low cost. 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. If you are preparing to go from Chiayi TRA Station to Dongpu Lodge, it's better to reserve it now to secure the best price.
• What is the best way to travel from Chiayi County to Chiayi City? Taking an HSR (High Speed Railway) train first and then hailing a taxi? Or all the way from your doorstep to the destination with Tripool?
  There is no HSR along this route. If you choose to hail a yellow cab on the street, the taxi fare is between NT$1400 to 3400. Taking a taxi charged by meters may be cheaper, but there is a risk that no taxi is available at the moment. Pre-booking a legal private car like Tripool may be a better choice.
• Do Tripool and the drivers provide legal car-hiring services in Chiayi County and Chiayi City?
  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.
• What are included in the service fee? Is there any extra charge or hidden fee?
  The quote on the website and the app already include the car rental fee, driver's fare, cost of gasoline, toll fee, insurance, and tips. Passengers don't have to pay for the driver's meals and accommodation fees. There is no other hidden fee. What passengers see on the website is the actual price.
• How can I book a round trip? Is it cheaper to hire a driver for a return trip?
  Every order can only reserve one car, and it is easier for passengers to make any change or cancelation. Please make two separate bookings on the website or the app if passengers need a round trip. There is no particular promotion about a round trip for now, but it's welcome to use any coupon for each ride.

Tripool FAQs

Our goal

Comfortable, affordable, and sustainable

We believe travel is a part of our daily life. Sadly, some travelers cannot go where they desire to due to transportation and budget concerns. So Tripool dedicates ourselves to software development and uses technology to improve Taiwan's travel environment. We achieved:

• By AI algorithms, we enhance the efficiency of vehicle dispatching and increase the distance driven with passengers.
• Passengers don't have to bear the driver's return trip cost.
• Fewer private cars are on the road, but more travelers can have a hassle-free traveling experience.

We understand it's difficult for foreign tourists to find a reliable taxi and an English-speaking driver for long-distance traveling, especially during the post-COVID-19. Uber may take me to scenic areas but cannot take me back to a city. Renting a car with a driver for a full day is expensive. What if passengers only need a few hours? Tripool is your best travel buddy, providing point-to-point transportation service to anywhere in Taiwan with a price of 20~40% off by using route optimization algorithms.
