On my first thought, the only two negatives about this trip is; first, minimum of 4 pax required. Second, in the case of insufficient participant, they might arrange non-English speaking tour guide which might be troublesome for foreigners. Good thing, we manage to see what we yearned for, even sea of clouds were there during sunrise. It was all worth it. Not to mention, you are in good hands with the awesome tour guide, Ji Ge (吉哥). His skilled manoeuvre through the hilly roads under low visibility is commendable.

It offers great value for money. Although the exterior has some scratches, the car is still in good condition. The service staff were friendly and explained things clearly. The calculation for delayed return was very considerate. I would definitely use their services again if I have the chance.

A compact and well organized itinerary covering attractions that may otherwise prove challenging to reach logistically. The two assigned drivers (Mr Wang and Mr Luo) are both excellent, their vehicles in excellent condition. I’d heartily recommend this trip with this company to anyone looking to explore Alishan, Sun Moon Lake, and the Qingjing Farm.

This shared tour was great value. Besides the 9-seater Benz, the driver also acted as a tour guide, accompanying us throughout the entire trip, providing commentary, and even finding great angles to take photos for us – the photos turned out beautifully. Luckily, the weather was nice that day. We ate at a famous tin box bento box restaurant along the way and finally rode a miniature train. Because some sections of the road have many curves, it's recommended that those prone to motion sickness take motion sickness medication beforehand.

Ease of booking (KKday's usability) ​Pros: ​The procedure was easy to complete in Japanese, and the purchasing process was smooth. ​I was able to get a good deal at a discounted price (stating the discount rate or specific amount would be more convincing). ​Were there flexible options for seat selection and time changes when booking (if you used this service)? ​Was it easy to enter the required information, such as your passport number? ​Concerns (if any): ​Were there any issues with using the website or app? ​Was it time-consuming or confusing to issue or collect your voucher? ​🎫 Ticket collection and redemption ​Pros: ​It was very easy to redeem your ticket at the station (did you use the counter or the automatic ticket machine?). ​Was it enough to just present your electronic voucher (the booking confirmation you received by email)? ​Was the waiting time for redemption short? ​Concerns (if any): ​It was difficult to find the redemption location, or the counter was crowded, etc. ​Did you experience any language barriers when redeeming your ticket (whether Japanese was available or not)? ​🚅 What was good about your experience riding the Taiwan High Speed ​​Rail? ​The interior of the train was clean and comfortable. ​The seats were spacious, so I didn't feel tired even on long journeys. ​The train ran on time, allowing for a smooth journey. ​I enjoyed the scenery from the train window, and other specific impressions. ​What were your concerns (if any): ​Inconveniences with the onboard services (Wi-Fi, food and drink, etc.). ​Dissatisfaction with the environment, such as the air conditioning being too strong.

Budget shares booth with Avis. Easy pick up. Staff was patient with many of our questions. Price is lower if you use third party like kkday or klook. We rented the car for one week with full insurance coverage. Please take note if you are involved in an accident, you have to pay upfront to Budget and then claim from kkday. Thankfully, nothing of that sort happened.
