Booked twice going to Dahu and going to Xinshe, both far off areas which are a bit difficult to go to via public transportation and takes longer. I did the point-to-point option, but there is an hourly booking option if going to multiple locations at a time. Booked about a month in advance and booking process was very easy and straightforward. Driver details sent 24 hrs before schedule. Both drivers were very nice and arrived on time and at correct location. Our driver going to Xinshe was especially nice and helpful. Will definitely use again in the future. It is also helpful that the app has an integrated messaging feature. Can schedule multiple rides in advance.

I was traveling in more rural Taiwan and needed to arrange rides where public transit didn’t go and timing of schedules didn’t work.

I booked a ride through the phone app (works much better than website). The process was seamless as I was able to book a ride, the driver contacted me a day before and then showed up at my door. The cars are cleaner and the drivers are a bit more professional than Uber drivers or a local driving you.

The one quirk is that some locations don’t show up based on the country you’re in. So you’ll have to finesse the location closest to you then message the driver the exact spot.

I thought about renting a car at Taipei for sightseeing, but decided not to do it because of the hassle to verify a foreign driver license. Also it’s very hard to find a parking spot near most tourist attractions.

The app gives you the option between Point to Point and Hourly Ride. For us the hourly worked wonderfully because the ride took us to multiple attractions within six hours. After dropping us at each attraction, the driver just drove away and waited at somewhere else.
