KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Taipei City
- You will want to consider car hire in Taipei if you're intending to visit some of the city's nearby attractions that aren’t easily accessible via public transport. Having your own car might be cheaper than taxis or hiring a driver, especially if you intend on driving long distances. Additionally, it gives you a greater level of freedom to go at your own pace when exploring the city.
- Taipei's Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) is the easiest place to get a car hire in Taipei; the service desks can be found on the south side of Terminal 1 in the arrivals lobby. Booking ahead through KAYAK can ensure the car of your choice is waiting for you when you arrive, allowing you to get out and experience the city as quickly as possible. Booking ahead will also ensure that you can pick up your car directly from the airport, as some companies will require you to go elsewhere to pick up the car.
- The first thing you should know, even before you book your car hire in Taipei, is that you cannot drive on your Australian licence, and you will need to hold an international driver's permit. You can apply for an international driver's permit in Australia, and you should then carry both licenses with you when driving. While you're driving, always remember to stay on the right side of the road. Freeways in Taipei use automatic electronic tolls; when using a hire car in Taipei, you will pay for the tolls when you return the car.
- One aspect of driving in Taipei you may find out of the ordinary is the large number of scooters on the roads. When making turns across scooter lanes, they may be easy to miss, so keep a close eye out as riders are known to not always obey traffic laws. It’s also important to be aware that some ‘driving communication’ might be different in Taipei from what you’re used to; for example, a car flashing its headlights at you indicates that they are going to drive through, not that you should go first. The traffic can get hectic, so stay focused on the road.
