Insurance and optional extras

  • Choosing excess insurance for your Taipei car hire gives you peace of mind. It protects you from paying a big excess fee in case of theft or a collision. Insurance policies can vary from one provider to another, so check how each one stacks up.

  • From GPS units to mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, the right extras can seriously upgrade your ride. Consider which features will help you make the most of your trip when you rent a car in Taipei.

Good to know

  • Age requirements can vary by company and even car type, so be clear on the rules before you book. Some providers in Taiwan may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • Bringing the kids with you? Car seat laws vary depending on where you are, and the correct setup may depend on their weight, height and age. Be sure to add the right one to your Taipei car hire booking.

  • Bring the right documents and keep pick-up quick and easy. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no digital copies) and a second photo ID. Also keep a credit card handy to cover the required excess. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Taiwan.

  • Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 100kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Taiwan. The safest choice for staying legal to drive is to not drink at all.

  • One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 8am. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.
