Car Hire in Taiwan

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Familiarize yourself with local traffic patterns, peak hours, and driving etiquette to navigate more safely.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

Confirm whether the rental includes roadside assistance for breakdowns or emergencies during your trip.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Consider local weather conditions and seasonal variations that might affect driving, such as snow or rain.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.
