The rental office is about a 10-minute walk from Luodong Station on the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA), or about 3 minutes from the Luodong Bus Terminal. It's located on a main street, so it's easy to find. When you give your name, they'll ask for your passport, Japanese driver's license, and a Chinese translation of your driver's license issued by JAF (Japan Automobile Federation). For gasoline, they give you a card for affiliated gas stations, which you use for cashless payments. Payment is settled upon return. This time, I didn't refuel before returning the car, and paid at the rental office based on the mileage. The car was a LUXGEN U6GT crossover SUV from a Taiwanese manufacturer. It's probably comparable to a Toyota RAV4. Just like when renting in Japan, the first thing to do is check the car. It's a good idea to take pictures of any scratches or dents beforehand. It was easy to drive, the brakes worked well, and my trip to the Taiwan Mountains was very comfortable. They have rental offices all over Taiwan, and it seems you can return the car to a different office. The staff were friendly, and I would like to use their service again next time.
What a lucky start: Xiao Wei accompanied me on my 1.5-day trip! He provided a wealth of local cultural information and offered thoughtful, warm service! I witnessed the beauty of Chishang in the misty rain, listened to the sound of the sea and the beauty of the crashing waves from Sanxiantai, and saw the bustling fish market auction and the abundant catch—so much more that it's hard to describe it all. I believe there's so much more to Taitung that I'll definitely want to visit again!
I always rent a car when I'm in Taitung. The service is great and the price is reasonable. It's most convenient to book via the app before holidays, otherwise there might not be any available on the day.
We brought our elders there, and we were so grateful to have such a wonderful place where we could enjoy healthy and delicious food. Our elders had a wonderful time and were very satisfied. Our family also took photos in the park, participated in games to win small gifts, and bought limited-edition merchandise. We had a very happy time as a family! 👍❤️
