• 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.

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.

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.
