Taichung car rental — FAQ
Booking early for Taichung is wise. For normal weekdays, reserving 1-2 weeks ahead usually secures good availability and prices. During weekends, local holidays, cherry blossom season, or major events, try to book 3-4 weeks in advance, as compact and minivan categories can sell out quickly with domestic travelers.
The security deposit is usually released after the car is checked in. Most Taichung suppliers send the release to your bank within 7-14 business days, but the exact time depends on your card issuer. To avoid a blocked limit entirely, look for no-deposit / no-credit-card deals when comparing offers on our site.
The excess is the maximum amount you pay if the car is damaged or stolen. In Taiwan, typical excess levels range roughly from TWD 10,000 to TWD 40,000 depending on car class and supplier. The rental company charges up to this amount, and optional extra insurance or coverage packages can reduce or sometimes eliminate the excess.
Most Taichung rental counters prefer a major credit card in the main driver's name. Some partners, however, accept debit cards or cash deposits on specific vehicle groups. To find options that don't require a traditional card hold, filter for no-deposit / no-credit-card deals when searching on Bookingcar.
Rental prices in Taichung are generally moderate by regional standards. A small economy car typically starts around TWD 1,400-1,800 per day, while larger sedans, SUVs, or minivans can range from TWD 2,500 to 4,500 daily, depending on season, rental length, insurance options, mileage limits, and pickup location in the city or at the airport.
At Taichung Airport (RMQ), you will find international brands on-site. The car rental desks currently represented in the terminal are Hertz and Avis. Their counters are usually located in the arrivals area, with vehicles parked just outside or in nearby lots, so pickup and drop-off are straightforward for air travelers.
Bookingcar lets you compare many Taichung offers in one place. You can see clear fuel and mileage policies, filter by supplier rating, and choose extras like GPS or child seats in advance. Transparent pricing, multilingual support, and frequent specials help you find a car that suits your itinerary and budget without surprises at the counter.
Returning late usually triggers extra charges. Most Taichung rental companies apply an additional hourly rate after the agreed time, and after a grace period may charge a full extra day. If you foresee any delay, contact the rental operator or Bookingcar support as soon as possible to adjust the contract and minimize penalties.
Taichung offers a mix of public and private parking options. Popular choices include underground lots around Taichung Railway Station, the parking complex near Taroko Mall, and facilities by Top City / Tiger City shopping areas. Many city streets have metered roadside spaces; pay at machines or via mobile apps and observe posted time limits.
Taiwan is an island, so international border crossings by rental car are not permitted. Your contract typically limits use to Taiwan Island, and ferries to outlying islands are usually excluded. Always declare your intended driving area when booking; some suppliers may charge extra if you plan extensive intercity travel or special routes.
Speed limits are clearly posted, but as a general guide:
Urban streets: usually 50 km/h (sometimes 30–40 km/h in school or residential zones)
Rural roads: generally 60–70 km/h
Expressways: around 80 km/h
National freeways: typically 100–110 km/h, with lower limits in tunnels or busy sections
Always follow local signs, as limits can vary by road and weather conditions.

"Lovely experience for our Taichung getaway. Staff were kind, explained the tolls clearly and the car was spotless and fuel‑efficient. Only wish the desk was signposted better inside the station, we walked around a bit before finding it."

"We rented a car in Taichung for a weekend road trip with friends and everything went very smoothly. Friendly staff, quick paperwork and a modern car that handled the mountain roads well. GPS was a huge help, though it took us a minute to switch fully to English."
