I was glad that I was able to rent a better vehicle than I expected. I was able to see places I wasn't able to visit when I came to Sun Moon Lake by bus last year. I plan to rent again next March.
I've rented from Zhihang many times; the car prices are relatively cheap, but the car condition is excellent. The service staff are also very professional and friendly. During the car pickup process, a group of foreign guests also needed to pick up their cars, and the staff handled them fluently in English throughout the process—truly impressive. Highly recommended.
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.
