Yilan City

You could easily spend a whole day there; there's a self-service restaurant, and the staff are very friendly.

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.

Driver was friendly and car was clean.

Because I go to Hualien every month, I initially rented local scooters, but the price would sometimes double during long weekends. Since WeMo came along, it's become so much more convenient! I highly recommend it.

I made a booking for 5 people just two days before we wanted to go. The agency immediately reached out on WhatsApp to confirm and ask a few more questions. Our driver Jackie arrived right on time, and was wonderful - driving safely, giving guidance, and even providing umbrellas for when it rained. Our booking was for 8 hours which was, enough to cover Yehliu, Jiufen, and Shifen Waterfall. We arrived back in Taipei a little after the agreed time and were fully prepared to pay an additional fee for the extra time, but instead got mango jelly as a farewell gift from Jackie. Great experience overall and I can highly recommend!
