Taitung County car rentals - Save up to 10%

Explore Taitung at Your Leisure

Renting a car in Taitung County offers the freedom to discover the area's diverse attractions on your own schedule. Drive to the scenic East Coast National Scenic Area or the lush landscapes of the Rift Valley. With your own vehicle, you can also easily reach the hot springs in Zhiben or the stunning beaches along the coastline, such as Jici Beach, without relying on public transportation.

Inspect and Document Vehicle Condition

Upon receiving your rental car, perform a thorough inspection for any pre-existing damage. Document scratches, dents, or other issues and report them to the rental agency to prevent any misunderstandings when you return the vehicle. It's advisable to take pictures or record a video as proof. Familiarize yourself with the rental agreement, noting any limitations on mileage, fuel policies, insurance inclusions, extra charges, and driving area restrictions. Remember to refuel the car before returning it to avoid higher charges from the rental company.

Child Safety Measures

Ensure the safety of young passengers by inquiring about the availability of car seats from the rental agency. In Taitung, as with the rest of Taiwan, it's important to comply with child safety regulations while driving. Check with the rental service for the provision of appropriate car seats and whether they will be pre-installed in your vehicle.

Plan Your Travel Times Wisely

While Taitung is not as congested as major cities, it's still wise to plan your travel times to avoid any local rush hours or events that might cause delays. Knowing the peak travel times in the area can save you from unnecessary stress and ensure a smoother journey as you explore the county's attractions.

Navigation Made Easy

Taitung's roads may be less complex than those of a large city, but having a reliable GPS navigation system is still invaluable. Most rental cars come equipped with navigation to assist you in finding your destinations with ease. This tool is especially handy for reaching more remote locations or when traveling through areas with less signage.

Convenient Pickup Locations

When arriving in Taitung, you'll find car rental services at convenient locations such as the Taitung Airport or near major train stations. Choose from a variety of vehicles to suit your needs, whether you're traveling solo, with a partner, or in a group.

Drive on the Right Side of the Road

Unlike Japan, in Taiwan, you'll be driving on the right side of the road. Road signs are typically displayed in both Mandarin and English, but it's still recommended to have an English-speaking navigation system to help you when driving in more rural areas. Be mindful of local driving laws, such as not crossing solid white lines and giving way to bicycles and scooters, which are common in Taitung. Always adhere to traffic signals and railway crossing rules, and never drive under the influence of alcohol.
