  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Taichung car hire policy, whether you go with Ho Ing or another supplier. Some companies treat it as an optional extra instead of bundling it in.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to land a bargain if the provider needs to shift cars between sites. Find the best available rates by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Avoid any surprise charges by booking a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Begin and end your trip with a full tank, paying only for what you use.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Make life easier when you rent a car in Taichung by adding some handy extras. Think things like a GPS unit to make wrong turns a thing of the past, or reverse cameras that give you confidence when parking.

Good to know

  • If the kids are coming with you, check if you should add a car seat to your Taichung car rental reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when collecting your rental car: a current driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in Taiwan can seem unfamiliar if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph in urban areas and around 100kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Taiwan is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 8am. Make driving smoother by avoiding rush hours in general.
