I was very satisfied with my trip from Banqiao to Jiaoxi on the Kamalan Bus! The reservation process was simple and convenient, the seats were comfortable and spacious, and the driver drove smoothly and arrived on time. The vehicle was clean and tidy, and the air conditioning was just right, making the entire journey very comfortable. The price was reasonable, making it easier and more environmentally friendly than driving myself. The customer service staff were friendly and patient in answering questions. Overall, it is a good choice for traveling between Taipei and Yilan. I will choose this service again for my next trip and recommend it to friends who need to travel between Taipei and Yilan!

Very easy and convenient service. The staff were able to explain the basic instructions in English, which was very helpful. The only minor inconvenience is that the rental store is a short walk from the bus station; however, it is located right outside the train station, which makes it easy to find. The scooter worked well with no issues regarding the brakes, tires, or lights. Just remember to refill the gas before returning it

The driver arrived 20 minutes early and contacted us, then drove us well according to our schedule. They even took photos for us along the way. We had booked a dolphin tour, but when we arrived, the local operator said there was no record of our reservation. The driver communicated effectively with the staff, helping us switch to an earlier time slot so we could still go. Although they were a bit older, they treated us very comfortably and drove very calmly and skillfully. There was a restaurant we wanted to try, and they even called to make a reservation for us. Despite the language barrier, they did their best using an app, which allowed my husband and me to create wonderful memories in Iran. Thank you!^^

Taking the 8:30 AM bus from Luodong to the airport was very punctual and convenient. It only took about 2 hours and 30 minutes, and the seats were very comfortable. If the bus service were more frequent, I would visit Yilan more often, as it's so convenient and there's no need to transfer.

Mr. Huang was on time and very nice. He drove us to our destinations and walked us to the front desk if we need to buy tickets. Car was super clean and spacious. His knowledge and expertise on the area was good too.
