Now, friends from Singapore — let me ask you:
When you visit Taiwan, do you want to spend the whole trip getting lost, or would you rather travel happily and stress-free? If you believe that “travel should be more free,” then listen up — private car tours are your ultimate travel sidekick. No need to read maps, hunt down drivers, or drag your luggage while racing for a train. Just book a car and kiss all your travel woes goodbye.

With a professional driver, air conditioning, WiFi, and even someone who’ll snap your photos and crack jokes — honestly, you might not even get that kind of service in a Singapore taxi!

Overview of International Tourist Arrivals to Taiwan
Taiwan’s tourism market continues to rebound steadily in 2025. According to the latest data released by the Tourism Administration, MOTC, a total of 2,128,812 international travelers visited Taiwan between January and March 2025 — a 3.8% increase compared to the same period in 2024. In March alone, arrivals reached 778,576, reflecting an 11.4% month-over-month growth from February.
The Tourism Administration, MOTC noted that the steady increase in international visitors, combined with ongoing subsidies for independent travelers and transport discounts, has driven a gradual return of inbound tourism. The March 2025 figures have already outperformed the same period in the previous two years, signaling Taiwan’s growing comeback as a top destination in global tourism. It is projected that total international arrivals for the year may reach the 10 million mark.

Why Private Car Tours Are the Most Convenient Way to Explore Taiwan
Dear friends from Singapore ,
Are you still planning your Taiwan trip around public transportation schedules? Let’s be honest: private car hire in Taiwan is no longer a luxury — it’s simply the smart choice.
From the streets of Taipei to the eastern coastline, from Alishan to Kenting, Taiwan offers a wide variety of stunning destinations — but public transport doesn’t always get you there easily. For travelers like you, who value efficiency and want the freedom to plan your own itinerary, hiring a private car is more than just comfortable — it’s the best way to save both time and energy.
