Full-day charter: from NT$4,000 (8 hours)
- Price: NT$4,000 for a small car or NT$6,500 for a large van, driver included — priced per vehicle, not per person
- Hours: 8 hours, counted from pickup
- Overtime: NT$450 (small car) or NT$600 (large van) per hour
- Vehicles: Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid or similar (small car, up to 4 passengers) or Mercedes-Benz Vito or similar (large van, up to 8 passengers), all 3–5 years old or newer, with safety first
"From" means this: a day tour in or around your starting city usually fits within 8 hours, while routes far from your starting city (e.g. Taipei to Alishan and back, or Taipei to Taroko and back) take longer and may run past 8 hours into overtime; the exact price depends on your route. For a single-route breakdown, see the Alishan charter cost guide.
Multi-day trips: quoted individually, driver's accommodation included
Round-island trips and overnight stays in places like Alishan or Hehuanshan are quoted individually by our team based on the number of days, route and lodging (driver's accommodation included). For a single day, a full-day charter is NT$4,000 for a small car or NT$6,500 for a large van (8 hours).

What's included, and what to budget for separately
Charter quotes include the vehicle, driver, fuel, tolls and passenger insurance. Budget separately for:
- Driver accommodation on multi-day trips: included in the individual quote for multi-day and overnight trips
- Overtime: NT$450 (small car) or NT$600 (large van) per hour beyond 8 hours
- Admission tickets, personal expenses and attraction parking fees: not included
- Tips: Taiwan has no mandatory tipping culture — tip only if you're happy
Direct charter vs Klook / Viator platforms
Platforms (Klook, Viator, KKday) are convenient for card payment and a familiar interface; the trade-offs are a platform commission in the middle, more rigid routes, and less flexibility for on-the-day changes. Booking a local fleet directly usually gets you a more flexible route and direct communication for the same budget. To compare with bus/self-drive, see charter vs bus vs self-drive.
