How good are the roads in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

Out of 137 countries, Taiwan ranked 10 for road quality. On a scale of 1 to 7, where 7 is the highest score, Taiwan scored 5.8 for their road quality. The quality of the roads within the country may vary based on where you visit and the weather.

Question 6

What is the drink driving limit in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

The BAC limit is 2.38 mg/l in Taiwan - this applies to both visitors and residents. Your BAC level is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in your bloodstream. This information is used to determine how inebriated an individual is. Driving a vehicle with a BAC higher than 2.38 mg/l is against the law in Taiwan and you will be deemed as ‘driving under the influence’. If you are younger than 18, which is the legal drinking age in Taiwan, then you may face strict penalties if you are caught drink-driving. Keep in mind that it is never a good idea to drink-drive no matter how old you are.

Question 7

How much does petrol cost in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

On average, the price of petrol last week in Taiwan was £0.71 per litre. In contrast, Kuwait currently has the lowest average petrol prices at £0.26 per litre. You should also consider visiting Hong Kong, though here you will find the most expensive average petrol prices at £2.47 per litre.

Question 14

Does Taiwan have any unique traffic laws?

Accepted Answer

If you plan on using rental cars in Taiwan, then you will be interested to know that while in some countries you are able to turn right at red lights, in Taiwan, you cannot. Beeping the horn is not an aggressive gesture and is often used to communicate to other drivers as a warning to be careful. This could be because they are about to overtake or because they see something ahead you do not. When drivers flash their headlights in Taiwan, it's not to tell you to go ahead but to tell you that they are going to move, which is the opposite of what UK drivers may expect. We advise you to check your mirrors regularly while driving rental cars, as the locals may overtake on either side of the car. Drinking and driving laws are stricter in Taiwan than in the UK, so we advise you not to drive any rental cars under the influence of alcohol, as their limit is set at 0.05%. Driving under the influence will be punished with a fine, depending on the severity and if there has been an accident.

Question 15

What are the legal and documentation requirements for renting a car in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

If you would like to rent a car in Taiwan, then you will need to provide most car rental companies with a valid driver’s licence from your original country, along with an International Driver’s Licence. Most car hire companies will require you to present an additional document to prove your identity, and we recommend that you use your passport. Most car hire companies will only rent a car to you if you are 21 or older, and they may charge you an extra surcharge if you are under 25. You will be expected to pay with a credit card at most car hire companies, and the total price does not include parking or toll road fees, which you will need to pay as you travel around the country.

Question 16

Which areas of Taiwan have the most traffic?

Accepted Answer

In general, as there is a lot of people, there is quite a lot of traffic in Taiwan, and it's not uncommon to be stuck in traffic jams while scooters and motorbikes weave in and out of the cars around you, especially in the cities. When it comes to congestion, Taipei and Kaohsiung are the worst affected parts of Taiwan. We recommend parking your car at your accommodation if you plan to travel within the cities and take public transport instead. In Taiwan, public transport is fast, affordable, and reliable, and the trams and buses are well connected. Outside of the cities, the mountain roads are worth driving, even though they may be narrow and winding, but they will offer you spectacular views of the country and more freedom to go where you desire.

Question 17

What are the best scenic roads in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

One of the most highly rated scenic roads in Taiwan is the Suhua Highway, which is on the island's east coast. We recommend stopping at the designated viewpoints if you want to take in the spectacular views of the coast. You will drive near the Qingshui Cliffs on the southern part of the route, and it's well worth stopping to admire the view. This route will also take you through the Taroko National Park, which has a famous gorge cut by the Liwu River, which gives its name to the park.

Question 18

When did momondo last update prices for cars in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

Prices for cars in Taiwan are updated daily.

Question 19

How many operators does momondo search for cars in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

There are 795 operators available for cars in Taiwan as of April 2025.

Question 20

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

Among different countries, including Taiwan, the minimum age for drivers varies. In numerous EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old. To hire a car overseas, you'll generally need to be at least 21, and if you're under 25, a young driver surcharge may be imposed. It's recommended that you review the policy of the rental company you're considering before booking.

Question 21

What documentation or ID do you need to rent a car in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

All drivers must have a valid full driving license when renting a car in Taiwan. If the license is written in a different language from the country of rental, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're renting a car overseas, you may also need to provide proof of return travel and accommodation information during your stay. It is always advisable to check with the individual rental company you're booking with.
