Several major car rental companies offer convenient pick-up services directly at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport (TPE). Your best bets are the well-known international brands—Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Sixt—as well as the prominent local operator, Hotai Rent-A-Car. These companies have counters located within the airport's arrival halls (Terminals 1 and 2), allowing you to complete the paperwork and often walk to a nearby facility to get your vehicle shortly after landing.

Booking in advance is absolutely crucial. It guarantees vehicle availability, especially during peak travel seasons or holidays, and often secures you a better rate. You can easily reserve a car through their official websites or major travel aggregator platforms.

When you pick up the car, you'll need to present your driver's license, passport, and the credit card used for the booking. The staff will typically offer additional insurance coverage, such as a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), which reduces your financial liability in case of an accident. It's wise to understand what your personal auto insurance or credit card already covers before making a decision at the counter.

For a quick comparison, here are some of the main options available directly at TPE:

Rental CompanyTerminal LocationVehicle Type ExamplesKey Consideration
AvisTerminal 1 & 2Toyota Vios, Nissan LivinaStrong international reputation, frequent loyalty programs.
BudgetTerminal 1 & 2Toyota Yaris, Honda FitOften competitive pricing, part of the Avis Budget Group.
HertzTerminal 1 & 2Toyota Corolla, SUV modelsWide range of vehicles, well-known brand for travelers.
SixtTerminal 2BMW, Mercedes-Benz, standard modelsOffers premium car options for an upgraded experience.
Hotai Rent-A-CarTerminal 1 & 2Toyota Camry, Toyota SientaLargest local company, extensive network across Taiwan.

Always inspect the rental car thoroughly for any pre-existing damage before you leave the lot and note it on the rental agreement to avoid disputes upon return.

I always rent from Hotai when I fly into TPE. They're the local powerhouse, so their fleet is huge and you'll see their rental lots everywhere on the island, which is handy if you need support. I've found their prices are often more competitive than the big international names. Just book online before you fly, and their counter is right there in the arrival hall. Super straightforward.

For a seamless start to your trip, stick with the majors: Hertz or Avis. Their counters are inside both terminals at TPE, so you don't need to take a shuttle. The process is efficient, especially if you're a member of their loyalty program. I recommend pre-paying for your rental online to lock in the rate and avoid long queues. Just have your driver's license, passport, and a credit card ready.

How Often Should You Start a Car That's Not Driven for Long Periods?

If a car is not driven for an extended period, it is recommended to start it approximately once every two weeks. Prolonged parking can make the vehicle difficult to start. Even when a car is turned off for long durations, the battery continues to discharge. Over time, the battery may become completely drained, and its lifespan will also shorten. Starting the car and running its components can help recharge the battery, although the amount of charge is minimal. However, this may lead to significant carbon buildup. Therefore, it is advisable to drive the car around rather than idling it in place. Maintenance tips for long-term parking: Clean the exterior and interior of the vehicle beforehand, as dirt left on the paint for too long can damage it. Ensure the battery remains sufficiently charged by performing regular inspections and maintenance to prevent battery depletion.

What type of transmission does the Toyota RAV4 use?

Toyota RAV4 refers to the RAV4 Rongfang. The RAV4 Rongfang has multiple models, and the type of transmission varies depending on the model. Here is additional information: 1. It uses two types of transmissions, one is a CVT (continuously variable transmission), and the other is an E-CVT (continuously variable transmission). 2. E-CVT is not a CVT transmission; the two are completely different concepts. In fact, strictly speaking, the E-CVT (continuously variable transmission) cannot be called a transmission in the traditional sense. 3. The principle of E-CVT: It uses a set of planetary gears to achieve the 'fusion' of engine power and motor power. 4. In terms of power, the gasoline-powered models are equipped with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, matched with a CVT (continuously variable transmission), with a maximum power of 126KW, maximum horsepower of 171PS, and maximum torque of 209N·m.

How many brake lights does a Polo car have?

There are a total of 3 brake lights. 2 standard lights (left and right symmetrical), and 1 is a high-mounted brake light, located at the top of the rear windshield. Below are the methods for maintaining car lights: 1. Frequently clean the lamp covers. When driving on the road, it is inevitable that water will splash, and mud spots will also adhere to the car lamp covers. The lamp covers are made of special materials with excellent sealing. However, mud spots scattered on the lamp covers greatly affect the car's appearance and even more the lighting effect of the car lights. 2. Regularly check if the car lights are working properly. Daily inspection of car lights is not as simple as a casual glance. When checking the car lights, you need to verify whether various types of lights are functioning normally. Additionally, you should check if the direction of the headlights' beam has deviated and whether the brightness of the lights is sufficient. Regular checks on the working condition of car lights can help you stay informed about their status and avoid accidents. 3. Replace bulbs periodically. The bulbs in car lights are consumables and have their inherent service life.

How Long Can a Car Sit Without Being Driven Before the Battery Dies?

If a car is not driven for a month, the battery will die. The consequences of leaving a car unused for an extended period are as follows: Paint Damage from Long-Term Inactivity: Leaving a car unused for a long time can easily lead to paint issues. If parked outdoors without a car cover, prolonged exposure to wind, sun, dust, fallen leaves, and bird droppings that are not cleaned promptly can seep into and corrode the paint, causing it to lose its shine and even leading to aging and peeling. Battery Drain from Long-Term Inactivity: Even when the car is not in use, the battery naturally loses about 1% of its charge daily. If the car remains unused for an extended period, the battery cannot recharge, eventually depleting its power and resulting in a dead battery, which prevents the car from starting. Moreover, prolonged battery drain shortens the battery's lifespan, affecting its overall performance.
