My family and I only had one full day at Tainan and we were very glad that we engaged this service. Klook will update the booking details prior to the trip, but our driver, Mr Su also messaged us one day prior. He was professional, punctual, engaging and drove safely. We appreciated that he gave us many food recommendations and passionately shared about the places we went, even though we didn't opt for a tour guide during booking. He also actively discussed with us about the itinerary to ensure we had sufficient time at each spot, which we appreciated. We were especially touched when we found out that he even helped to call Jingzaijiao Tile-paved Salt Fields in advance to make sure they were open before we headed there, since it was closed for renovation a month prior to our Tainan visit due to Typhoon Danas. The car was also clean and comfortable. We have very fond memories of Tainan and we hope to book this charter service again the next time we're back. Highly recommended!

The location of the cultural and creative car rental is great. They provide clean helmets, the vehicles are in new condition, and there are phone charging ports, which is very convenient. Also, the trunk comes with a complimentary raincoat. I will choose this car rental company again next time.

The Tainan location is small, with a Poli and Amber meet-and-greet at fixed times. Inside, there are toy cars, a ball pit, bowling, soccer, an inflatable bouncer, etc. The recommended visit time is about an hour. The park's stamp collection event prize is an A4 folder. Parking can be discounted for a maximum of two hours.

The service staff was excellent. After confirming the order, we realized we had misunderstood and accidentally ordered three scooters 😭. The receptionist not only didn't get angry but also helped us ensure our Tainan trip went smoothly. We are extremely grateful and hope this review will reassure potential travelers who are still considering booking! By the way, #the vehicles at this store are very well maintained. We had no problems or discomfort during the ride! Using our small contribution, #using electric vehicles for travel can reduce the consumption of petroleum or use it in other situations where it is more needed, adding a special meaning to the trip!
