The airport transfer service was professional and efficient, and the car was in excellent condition. I was returning home to visit family, and the thought of parting made me emotional, but the driver didn't try to strike up a conversation, which made me feel comfortable.
We hired a car for ten hours from Taipei, visiting all the places we wanted to see: Yehliu Geopark, Shifen Waterfall, Shifen Old Street, the Yin-Yang Sea Viewpoint (the same spot for viewing the Thirteen-Story Ruins), Golden Waterfall, the Gold Museum (a bonus we thought we wouldn't have time for), and Jiufen Old Street. The driver was very nice, drove incredibly smoothly and safely, and provided brief explanations of the sights along the way. He even helped us take photos when we released sky lanterns in Shifen. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great; we encountered strong winds and heavy rain on the day of the hire (which was quite a unique experience). However, the driver was attentive to the road conditions and even provided raincoats for us – very thoughtful service. No need to worry about transportation arrangements, just point-to-point service. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to the North Coast.
