$400 for 4 days is super cheap. Normally 1 day around 3500 ntd, price changes depend on your trip and distance.
Ops sorry, see wrongly. $400 for 1day is expensive bah, don’t know how the charges for 10ppl transport.

Following thread as i might have 10person in my group for my december tour...

I know 9 seater is pretty common... but if 10person they might need to use a mini bus... maybe that explain the higher than usual price... or they might be using 2 vehicles?

Planning to go Taiwan and hired a private driver to stick with us for the 4 days trip.

Each day is $400 SGD for 10 ppl.
Expensive or not huh? Or anyone got contact for such driver for any place or distance .

Appreciate

kinda expensive, if you are traveling within taipei only ...
normally the price is 3500twd per car (toyota wish) ...
you might want to split into two cars instead ...

Are all the 10 people adults or a mixture of adults and kids?

It also depends which part of Taiwan that you all are going.

$400 per day for 10 ppl, I think should be around there or slightly cheaper. Day trip transport is around 3500 ntd for car/taxi. Taiwan hire transport not cheap.

You can ask the driver, he will give you more information of pax and price. Look for other source of driver from tripadvisor or other sites.

Toyota Wish can comfortably take 3 passengers. Long distance traveling for 4 or 5 passengers will be bad. You may rent 2 VW 8-seat wagon for the same price, $400 SGD.
Last time we asked David, a tour guide and driver, to be our driver and was the wonderful vacation. You WhatsApp +886 931 626577. He will response your issue and plan itinerary for you regarding time difference. He speaks fluent English. Just Google “My Taiwan Journey.”

Thanks for sharing bro!!

Nine seater means sit 9.
Must include driver.
So no way will have enough space.

Split into two cars also mean 5 each.
Long distance sure not possible.
Luggage space also need to factor in.

Hi Wongkc, VW 8 seater definitely can take 8 persons comfortably esp when you have 3 kids. Went with 2 families of 8 and only 1 child and we were very comfortable, just take turns to sit in front with driver.
My driver was the famous Jacky on this forum. Superb.

Usually behind can squeeze.
Some will squeeze along the passengers path if going from stay A to B.
If you have loads of stuff, maybe need the next bigger vehicle.

Hello,

Can share the quote that you currently have now for transport for 8/9pax?
Still @ $400 per day? What vehicle they using?

Can engage the driver the whole day or they have a certain no. of working hours?
Any other hidden charges to take note?

Thank you.
