Anyone looking to book drivers for their Taiwan trip soon?
I know this post might come a couple of years too late, but hey.. the world stopped for a couple of years right?
So I'd like to share my recommendation on the services that I hired for my family trip to Taiwan back in 2019!

I'll like to share my experience and recommendation based from my trip back in March 2019 when I engaged Andy Pan (+886986669990) with my family.
I was bogged down by work at that time so all I gave was the main attractions that we'd like to visit and left him to plan for the whole trip.
He had all the attractions covered for our 9D8N trip and I remembered how worried he was when we were stuck in the immigration with long queues.
After he dropped us off at our accommodation, he still patiently waited to ensure that we settled in well and gave us a small brief on how we can navigate our way around the area that we were staying at.

Not only were the accommodation he booked superb, the itinerary was very well planned and he brought us to some really nice and wholesome local eateries that tourists don't know.
There's no trips to stores where you will be "recommended" to shop and all the pit stops for rest were very well planned.

We are already in the planning to visit Taiwan again with him and have another round of fun times as a family.
So if you are planning a big family trip (our trip had all 13 of us well taken care of), remember to look for Andy!

最近有要去台灣旅遊的朋友嗎?
雖然有點突兀,不過也是因為疫情大家好幾年都沒能出國,不是?
所以小妹我在這裡想要分享與推薦在2019我雇用的司機大哥。

如果有打算要帶一家人去台灣的朋友,可以考慮聯繫潘世偉先生哦。
我記得我們是2019年3月的旅行。
那是我忙的不可開交還要安排家人的旅程,於是就讓阿偉知道我們想去的景點,之後就連住宿都讓他一手包辦。

他不僅把9天8夜的行程排滿排好排足,幫我們訂的住宿也是一流。
舒適乾淨又寬敞。
而且我還記得我們因為卡在關卡,他記得擔心我們是不是不能出關。
送我們抵達住宿之後還留下確認我們一切都ok的才安心。
離開之前還簡單的講解了住宿附近有哪些可以去的地方。

除了住宿,行程排的滿滿的,帶我們去吃的地方也是當地人才知道的。
遊客比較少,所以用餐起來比較舒服,沒有這麼吵雜。
也沒有“推薦”任何比打卡的購物店哦。一般就是到了景點讓我們自己逛,時間到了集合而已。

我們一家(一共13人哦!)已經在安排下一趟旅程了!
所以如果大家庭想要一起到台灣旅遊的話,記得找阿偉哦!

Hi Guys;
A typhoon just brought heavy rain to the mountain area of central part of Taiwan and caused road damage at Cingjing Farm area and Alishan park. If you are going to these area within one month, it is better to adjust your itinerary. The areas should be ready for the high season of inbound tour at the final quarter. One of our good friends, Sean, an English-speaking tour guide and driver, can accommodate your needs regarding your planned itinerary and hotel information. Sean's Whatsapp: +886 958 336 391

My family and I went Cingjing farm right after the typhoon, on 28 Jul. Rain was light then, road was fine - other than a section of road to Hehuanshan becoming inaccessible due to damage caused by the heavy rain.

Just for reference purpose, not gonna make any recommendation. We booked a driver in Taipei to drive us to TP outskirt attractions, Car is a Toyota Wish, 8 hrs for NTD3500 (but we gave driver an additional NTD400 as tips).

1500 is for the accommodation when the driver is not in Taipei... so should be only for the first 4 days... 5th day back to Taipei so he no need accommodation liao...

Pretty standard pricing...

Btw... what time is your flight reaching Taoyuan... u sure got time for the Flying Cow Ranch? Can easily spend 4-5 hours there... I suppose u will be eating lunch there also... and there are those cake/cheese making classes for the kids... quite fun to do together with kids...

I am reaching 5.35am, so it's practically the whole day to start with. Any other interesting places I can add on?

As far as i know the market price right now is

1 day - 3300 ~ 3500 NTD ( Base on Driver quote you)
then depend on distance how far you going cause maybe travel distance is > est hrs.

Usually package is about 8 ~ 10 hrs per day.

1 day should not charge over 4500NTD base on Taichung to Sun Moon Lake.

*Correct me if i wrong as i base on the driver that quote me for the upcoming feb trip.

Well, living exp up so they also need to up (understandable) but important
is the quality of service must be there else quote you sky high but service like ****,
you also DL.

Anyway, the 3500NT is up to 9 ppls, you div into 9 and share the cost :D

my is tp to yms

8-9hour... around NT3500

Hi all, just wondering the 2023 market price for 1 day private car taipei/taichung, still got less than 4K now?
I saw these posts at the 3+K price. 2019 pre-covid mine already NTD 4000 liao tho.

Currently 1 driver i asked (Pan pin zhong) quoted 5K, which a few others also mentioned. So is 5K too high or normal then?

TIA

The last i know, he is based in taipei, can try reach out to him if he does pick up in hualien. Else he will recommend drivers for you too. He did mention he is the "guide/instructor" that trained other drivers in the past.

Likely gonna engage him for my taipei trip end of this month.

Saw he got a fb page now can search 台湾旅游彼得潘 where he post a few photos of his recent jobs

Thanks for your input. Managed to get in touch with Mr Pan. He can do pickups in Hualien.

Not expert... but i took a similar route except mine is to SuAo instead of Hualien... will pass thru Taroko National Park...

From TaiChung go Cingjing... stay 1 night there... then next day go up Wuling HeHuanshan... then stop at 1-2 stops at Taroko there to take in the scenery... after exiting Taroko go Hualien quite fast...

With 2 young kids... I think it is easier to engage driver...
