Taipei Day Driver

Just came back from Taiwan not long ago. Hired driver 阿豪 for a day tour to yeliu -> keelong night market -> jiufen -> shifen. A friendly guy. My friend just causally asked if a piyo piyo outlet was near to our itinerary for the next day. He actually drove us to an outlet after our lunch! The pace of the trip was good, no rush and at the end of the trip at shi fen, we had fun with fireworks :)

We paid NT3500 for 4 pax.

Would recommend him, if looking for a day tour in taipei. His contact no is +886 0915619969. Contactable through Whatsapp or LINE.

The trip from Jiufen to shifen is challenging... :s22:

Half of my family members had car dizziness after all the turns and twists.

Haha. It's was pretty smooth for me and my friends. I think it's dependent on the driver and the passengers. :)

Yehliu-Shifen Driver

Just came back from taipei 5 days ago. Hired Ah Hao for a day trip (9AM - 7+PM) to yehliu-keelung night market-jiufen-shifen for 4 pax at 3500NT.

His driving is quite steady, didn't feel unwell with all twists and turns along the mountains.
Brings us to quite a few scenic spots along the way, very friendly in helping my family take photos as well. Gives a brief history/explanation at each spot. Doesn't pressure you or give you time limit (like what time you have to be back here). He will just ask you to go and walk and take your time.
When we were going back, my sis felt tired and he dropped her back at the hotel. We asked if he could drop the rest of us at xmd and he did so very obligingly.

Quite a nice guide in general. HIs contact no: +886 0915619969
I contacted him from Singapore via whatsapp

Had a similar experience too. He wont rush us. So we just take our time and enjoy the sight. He will stop at interesting scenery along the way right? :)

Yup! He will just drop us at some scenic places and encourage us to take photo. One of the places he brought us to was nan ya qi yan and encouraged my family to go down the rocky 'stairs' because the scenery was really really beautiful down there! :)

Hi all, wanted to share with you all my recent taiwan taxis booking with Ah Hao! Hes really a nice friendly & funny guy.

While I was planning to book the taxis, I do google online & saw a few of them recommend him. Hence I text him and check with him his price, itenary etc. Before I confirm my booking with him, he already treat me like his friend to take note of some little issue which I had overlook and may disrupt my planning. Eg, shifen waterfall last entry at 430pm. So far none of the taxis driver who I liases with told me all those. Hence his friendly and sincere attitude make me confirm my booking immediately.

Along the journey he will also share with you about the attraction interesting stories in a funny way. You will be busy laughing in his taxis and before you know it, you reach the next attraction! Another plus point is he will never set a time limit for each attraction. He say most importantly we must enjoy ourselves. Hence once we are done, we just call him. He also surprise us with firwork at shifen! Its really a amazing beautiful personal experience to set firework on our own! Trust me its better than taipei 101 countdown.

Forget to mention, I was telling him briefly about me finding the piyo piyo shop to buy a water bottle for my niece. He took an extra effort to bring us to the shop to buy it. Really appreciate it :)

Hence those who want to book his taxis for tour at taipei, feel free to whatapps him @ +886915619969. Im sure will you have a fun & enjoyable trip just like me!!!!

Drivers to avoid @ all cost

I am writing with dismay that there are two drivers in taipei to avoid @ all cost.

1. 余青美 tel. 886-910-236-967
She short change customers. The agreed hours should be 12 hrs but she will tell u it's only 10hrs. Never mind, she will end the whole journey in less than 10hrs. She follows u when u are shopping around in 九分. She will purposely bring u to certain stores to buy things. These Taiwan drivers are not allowed to do that. She can tell u she will continue with the tour after dropping off your loots @ the hotel but when u r back @ ur hotel, she will tell u ur tour has ended. Seriously, u need to argue with her but w fear she might ditch u in some wu lu place.

2.黃家裕 tel. 886-936-834-879
He will charge customers more. ie. 2pax 12 hrs should be NT3000, he will charge u NT3500. He too follows u when u do ur shopping n bring u to specific shops n cyco u to buy. Then u will realize another shop also have the same offer but he will drag u away.

My family were victims to both drivers.

yes agreed! Ah hao 阿豪 is a very nice, friendly and thoughtful driver with the best customer service i've ever engaged for overseas trip driver. He was so thoughtful that he specially bought firecrackers for us after our sky lantern experience at shifen knowing that we do not have this chance to put our own fireworks in Singapore. Furthermore he doesnt push us or give us any time limit during our shopping and dinner at jiufen.. and even though we over spent the time limit, he is not calculative and doesnt extra charge us like the other cab drivers. He treats his customers more like his friends and is very fun and comfortable driver to talk to with a sense of humor. I'll strongly recommend Ah Hao to my friends and anyone who wants to engage a driver in Taipei! ^_^

you may contact him @ +886915619969 via whatsapp, line. Preferably in Chinese. :)
