I rented a car to travel directly from Taoyuan Airport to Taichung. It was very convenient to be able to pick up the car right at Taoyuan Airport Terminal 1 and drive it there. Unlike other rental car companies, there was no deposit required for the initial rental, which was nice. I was informed that fines for traffic violations, such as running red lights, would be paid here by entering my credit card information. I could sign up for full coverage insurance on-site for NTD 700 per day by credit card. Since the tank was full, I didn't have to worry about gas levels. Highway tolls were paid by credit card upon returning the car. Being able to pay for all rental fees with my credit card was very convenient. The car had driven approximately 75,000 km and, as expected from a rental car, came with basic features. I recommend bringing a phone holder and charger. While it doesn't have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you can still listen to music via Bluetooth. The hatchback's trunk is spacious enough to accommodate a 24-inch suitcase and a 20-inch suitcase. The car was well-maintained, so there was no strange smell like cigarette smoke inside, which was nice. I drove about 385 kilometers from Friday to Sunday, and I got about 22.7 liters (649 NTD) of 95-octane gasoline (based on 28.6 NTD/L). My fuel economy was about 16.98 km/L. One downside is that you can return the car to the same spot you picked it up at the airport, but it's a bus-only area, so it can be difficult to find right away. I told the rental car staff I had trouble finding the spot, and they told me I could park in the P2 area and return it to the rental car desk. Thanks to them, I had a pleasant trip, and I plan to use them again.
The business owner put a lot of thought into the arrangements, provided excellent service, and offered exquisite meals made with carefully selected ingredients. The food was unforgettable, leaving me with wonderful memories. It was great value for money and a fantastic package tour. I would love to come back again and recommend it to my friends.
The first thing that surprised me was how simple it was from purchasing in advance to receiving the ticket. After paying online, you can get your ticket in no time by simply presenting your passport at the station, so even first-time travelers can use it without any hesitation. The discount rate was very noticeable, and even traveling from Taipei to Taichung and Tainan saved more than I expected. The interior of the train was quiet and clean, the ride was comfortable, and the travel time was also a nice plus. Some tickets have restrictions on changes, so it is best suited to people with a set itinerary, but it offers an excellent balance of cost-effectiveness and convenience, making it a service that I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to travel Taiwan efficiently.
Online car rental is fast and convenient, with call reminders. After successful rental, you can pick up the car quickly at the designated location. The car is in good condition, and the overall service experience is excellent.
