Renting a car is easy in Taiwan. Just find a car rental company at the main airport, train stations and in the cities to find a car to suit your needs. Most companies offer very reasonable rental packages and some even allow returns to a different location (fees may apply). You should also check the rate to see if it includes insurance and excess fees before picking up your car.

For travelers who are unfamiliar with the roads in Taiwan another option is a hire car with driver. Most international tourist offer hire car services as well, a convenient and cost-effective choice for travelers traveling to and from the airport or have only a few hours to spare.

In Taiwan, right-hand traffic rules apply. The driver and front passenger must wear seat belts at all times. If you are planning to discover the beauty of Taiwan in a rental car, prepare in advance by learning about local driving rules and applying for a valid driver's license.

Foreigners wishing to apply for a local driver's license can visit the Motor Vehicles Office (http://english.mvo.taipei.gov.tw/) for more information, or call the Driver's License Section (TEL: 2763-0155#201, 203, 204).
