The contact information provided the day before was clear, the driver was friendly, and after picking up the luggage, I contacted him by phone. He quickly arrived at the designated pick-up/drop-off point and even helped put the luggage in the trunk. He navigated the route using Google Maps, was a good driver, and the car was comfortable and clean. He was also willing to let me know if I had any special needs. Overall, it was great value for money and highly recommended! 👍🏻
The car model I originally booked was unavailable, but they proactively called to offer other models in the same class as an option. When confirming the car's condition, they explained it clearly; the car was in excellent condition, very clean, and there were no issues driving it. Returning the car was also a quick process. Overall, the three-day self-driving experience was very good, and I would definitely rent a car again if needed.
It was a rare long weekend with great weather, so I took the kids, who had just finished their exams, to see the animals and the fun Snoopy and Gui Gui. It was a lot of fun!
People are so helpful while I tried to figure out where to board the train in the huge station. Food was not the best. However it is a very nice way to hv a headline view the country. The mountain and coastal views were gprgeous! if you like Karaoke, there is a karaoke carriage where you can scream your favourite songs while strangers clapped and cheered you on.
We rented two cars this time, but due to system settings... there was a discrepancy with the store... during this Mid-Autumn Festival holiday... everyone waited for almost an hour to pick up the cars. During this time, there was also an extra charge for full vehicle insurance... the cost of two cars for two days was equivalent to renting another car... haha... but the cars were in good condition, and the air conditioning was cool enough... so it was acceptable. As for fuel and mileage metering, I think it's best to write that in the rental agreement... so consumers can weigh the total cost and avoid exceeding their budget.
Both the sweet and savory meals were delicious, and the train stopped twice to explore, listen to historical stories, and take photos of Turtle Island. The interior of the train was upscale and comfortable, and the service staff were very friendly.
Food and atmosphere is exactly as expected and similar to DTF in the states. The wait time is really long, but I heard of the “hack” to buy your set via KKDay and it worked!! The trick is to NOT pull a number. Instead, walk up to the hostess with your QR code, they’ll scan your code and get you in within 15/20 minutes. You can also add additional food via a separate check (your set is prepaid via KKDay). Good Luck 👍👍
I used this service for a round trip to Kaohsiung. At the ticket counter, you show your reservation number and passport to receive a ticket booklet, which you then show to pass through the gate. Due to my travel itinerary, I could only go to Kaohsiung, but it was definitely worth it. It's a great opportunity to visit cities other than Taipei! I think it will become a popular service for repeat customers.
