Scooter/Moped Rental In Taiwan 在臺灣租機車

Taiwan is a place that should be explored not just with public transportation (as convenient as it is). If you only take public transportation everywhere you go, you are missing out on a huge part of Taiwan. You could take taxis everywhere to see these sights, like a rich Chinese person, or you can take the cheaper option and rent a vehicle. Many of the scenic and rural sights of Taiwan can’t be experienced except by hiring your own vehicle.
 
Renting cars or scooters in Taiwan:
 
        Taiwan is the scooter capital of the world. Driving a scooter is dangerous, but scooters are fun. You can stop pretty much anywhere on the side of the road easily and take photos and enjoy the scenery. They are also pretty easy to learn how to operate; if you can already drive a car and/or ride a bike, picking up riding a moped shouldn’t be that hard. There’s not a much better way to experience Taiwan than cruising down the streets like everyone else with the wind blowing in your face. However, if you are afraid that scooters are dangerous, I would suggest renting a car.

Planning your trip to Taiwan?

Here are some top travel tips for you:

  • Best scooter rental platforms: we recommend renting through Klook here or KKday here
  • Best time to visit: Spring and Autumn when it is not too hot or cold and less rainy
  • How to get there: Plane tickets via Trip.com
  • Best places to stay can be found on Agoda
  • Book tours and activities in Taiwan on Klook
  • Stay connected with a local SIM
  • Rent a car to explore distant sights

​Gas Scooter Rental Fast Facts:
 
Where? 
Scooter rental shops are next to almost all train stations in Taiwan, which include gas and electric options. I recommend gas because you don't have to worry about limited range and lack of charging stations. Some scooter repair shops also rent scooters. Most of these are mom and pop rental stores, but more expensive ones are in Chains like Heyun or Yamaha. 

Klook
​Locations: Currently available most in all major cities and outer islands in Taiwan. You can use the online website to search.
Local Scooter License required: No, but you need an international license! You will also need to show your passport.
Price: 400 NT - 1200 NT per day depending on the model
Range: 150 KM for gas scooters, and 20-80 KM for electric scooters depending on the model

KKday

Local Scooter License required: No, but you need an international license! You will also need to show your passport.
Price: 400 NT - 1200 NT per day depending on the model

You can click here to receive $5 USD on your first Klook purchase. 

Pricing? 
Cheapest is 100 NT a day, average is about 500 NT per day, expensive is 800 NT or above per day.

What should I bring? 
Maybe rain gear. Usually they will provide rain gear for you. They will definitely give you helmets. Some will siphon the gas out before you ride so you need to go get gas right away.

Do I need a Scooter License? 
Maybe, it depends on where you go. If you go to the countryside or some outer islands, they may not care. If you go to a more rural part of Taiwan, most likely they will accept an International Driver’s Permit (IDP). If you go to a place such as Taichung, no one will let you rent a scooter unless they see your Taiwanese license. For more information, please see our blog post about getting a Taiwanese driver’s license here, or check out our blog about getting an IDP here. 

How do I get a local Taiwanese license?
​Check out our guide on getting a driver's license in Taiwan here, or check out our blog about getting an IDP here. 

Cities that require a local Taiwanese Scooter License (that we know): Taichung, Taipei, Magong, Chishang.

Cities that only have a few shops that will let you rent with an IDP: Tainan (北門租車), Hualien (Pony leasing and Rental Group 小馬租車集團), and Yilan. Otherwise you will need a local license for these cities. 

Cities that accept an international driver’s permit: Tainan (北門租車), Chiayi, Kaohsiung, Nantou County (Sun Moon Lake and Jiji) , Taitung, Hualien (Pony Leasing and Rental Group 小馬租車集團), Ruisui, Kenting, Jiaoxi, Nanzhuang, Jiji, and offshore islands

Cities that do not require a license: Offshore islands (Xiaoliuqiu, Green Island, and Lanyu) and Chiayi (some).

(please feel free to comment if you have an update to any of the lists above)

Electric Scooter Vehicle Sharing:

Recently there have been quite a few electric scooter-sharing companies popping up in major cities in Taiwan. The nice thing about these is that you just need to register using the app and can rent the scooter with your phone, which can be done 24/7. Once you are done you can park it in a legal scooter parking spot, however these can only be used in major cities and you need a local Taiwan scooter license to rent.

There is a big discount for local expats especially if they have their own scooter.

Be sure to tell them you were sent by Foreigners in Taiwan. 

Anything else I should consider when renting a scooter in Taiwan?
Yes!
  • You cannot ride on national highways, freeways, in front of Taipei Main Station, and inner lanes of some multiple lane roads.
  • Most left turns require the two-step turn, which means you pull off to the right of the intersection and stop in a white box. Then you wait for the light to turn green. If there is no box or two-arrow sign in the intersection, and it's a small intersection, you can probably turn left without the two-step turn.
  • Turning right at a red light is against the law.
  • When turning right, check your blind spot and the space behind you for scooters. There are scooters everywhere. To make a safe right turn, make sure to signal early, turn slowly, and check your mirrors and blind spots. 
  • Check for speed cameras and red light cameras. These are the only effective way of traffic enforcement in Taiwan, and they are everywhere! 
  • Getting in an accident can be messy and involve a long litigation process. If it's just a minor accident, consider paying cash to the other person and avoid calling the police if at all possible.  However, always consult with your rental company on their accident policies.
  • There are a few lanes in Taipei City that are just for buses. Don't drive on them.
  • On some roads, there is a small lane to the right of the road meant for scooters.
  • If you are riding into the mountains, make sure you have enough gas for the journey.
  • If you come to a blind corner, there should be a round mirror at the intersection to let you see if there is any oncoming traffic from the right or left.

Basic Taiwan Travel Tips:
  • There is no need to tip in Taiwan. It is not part of the culture here.
  • Taiwan uses the New Taiwan Dollar, and many transactions such as for street food still require cash. For more information, check out our guide to the New Taiwan Dollar here. 
  • Get yourself a SIM card or portable WiFi such as from Gigago here so you can stay connected and don't get lost in the city.
  • If you are from a country that does not have a 90 day visa-free program with Taiwan, consider getting your visa sorted with Ivisa.com. You can also check out our immigration FAQ here. 
  • Get travel insurance in case of unforeseen events. You can compare prices on Insubuy here. 
  • Electrical voltage is 110V.
  • Get yourself an Easy Card, so you can travel easily on the MRT, Train, HSR, Youbike, and even shop at convenience stores. You can also book a Taiwan travel pass on Klook here. 
  • For more travel tips, check out our foreigner survival guide here.

Update September 2018: It seems that rental places in Taitung now require a Taiwanese Scooter License.

I found one place in Taitung will to rent me a scooter with an IDP. Leave taitung railway station, past the car park, past the first scooter rental place, when you get to the junction there is a more official looking car hire place in front of you, now about 5 shops to the right of the car hire place on the corner is a scooter rental place with a blue sign. They'll rent you one with an IDP. Hope someone finds this helpful

That's good to know that some places require a scooter license and other places don't. My daughter and her friends will be taking a trip during spring break and they want to rent scooters, so I'm looking into it for them. We'll have to see if where they're going requires a license so we'll know if they can rent one or not.

Hey! JUST If you have a international drive licence (motor), you can register the WeMo to enjoy the ride in Taiwan immediately! But remember, you should input the invitation code: NFGAZQW to GET your free riding bonus! NTD 50!
Check your licence below the official WeMo website: https://register.wemoscooter.com/indexEN200514.html

Taiwan is a place that should be explored not just with public transportation (as convenient as it is). If you only take public transportation everywhere you go, you are missing out on a huge part of Taiwan. You could take taxis everywhere to see these sights, like a rich Chinese person, or you can take the cheaper option and rent a vehicle. Many of the scenic and rural sights of Taiwan can’t be experienced except by hiring your own vehicle.

Not sure what you mean by 'Cities that require a local Taiwanese Scooter License (that we know): Taichung, Taipei, Magong, Chishang.'
I successfully rented a 950cc bike from Motor Rental Town in Taipei with my IDP.

I completely agree with this perspective! Exploring Taiwan by renting a vehicle gives you so much freedom to discover hidden gems and go off the beaten path. While public transportation is convenient, there's something special about taking your own route and immersing yourself in the scenic beauty of Taiwan.

Property management encompasses a wide range of responsibilities, including tenant management, rent collection, property maintenance, and financial reporting, to ensure the efficient and profitable operation of real estate assets.

    I am an American expat who has extensive experience living, working, and traveling in Taiwan. In my day, I had to learn many things about Taiwan the hard way. But I have come to learn that Taiwan is one of the best places in the world for Foreigners to live. ​This blog does not represent the opinions of every foreigner in Taiwan. I am just trying to help others learn more about this beautiful country.
