Renting a Scooter in Taoyuan: 2 Pickup Stores, and How to Get There from the HSR Station, Train Station and Airport

If you live or work in Taoyuan and need a scooter for a few days (your own is in the shop, you have errands around Taoyuan or Zhongli, or you just want to get around faster than by bus), GoodCars rents scooters at two stores in Taoyuan only: the Taoyuan store and the Dayuan store. One thing to know first: the GoodCars locations at Taoyuan HSR Station, Taoyuan Airport (TPE), Taoyuan Zhongzheng, Pingzhen Fumei and Guishan Huilong do not have scooters (cars only). This guide covers which of the two stores to pick, how long it takes to reach them, what to bring, and how to book when scooters are limited. For general scooter rental tips see Scooter rental guide; for renting a car in Taoyuan see Taoyuan car rental: 7 pickup points.

No scooters at the HSR station or airport: how to reach the nearest store

Travel times were checked on Google Maps at night with light traffic; daytime and rush hour are usually slower.

Starting from	Nearest scooter store	How long (Google Maps)
Taoyuan HSR Station	Dayuan store	About 14–15 min by taxi (about 7–9 km). The Taoyuan store is about 23–31 min by taxi (about 12–14 km), or about 50 min by bus
Taoyuan train station (TRA)	Taoyuan store	About 19–20 min on foot (about 1.3–1.4 km), or about 6–7 min by taxi
Taoyuan Airport, Terminal 1	Dayuan store	About 7–8 min by taxi (about 4.4–5.2 km)
Zhongzheng, Pingzhen or Guishan Huilong areas	Taoyuan or Dayuan store	Pick whichever is closer and check the route on a map before you go

With large suitcases, a scooter will not work; renting a car directly at the HSR station or airport is easier.

What to bring

Licence: bring a licence that covers scooters; if unsure, ask the store before booking.
Age and documents: under GoodCars' rental conditions, foreign nationals must be at least 25 and have held a licence for at least 1 year. The document list (original licence, paper IDP, passport and a credit card in your own name) is on the official FAQ page; the store checks and approves your licence at pickup.
Helmet: whether a helmet is provided, how many, and whether to bring one for a passenger, please ask the store when you book.

🗺️ Two Taoyuan stores with scooters

Taoyuan store (+886-3-339-0909): Taoyuan train station, Taoyuan city, Zhongli. Book the Taoyuan store
Dayuan store (+886-3-386-0606): Taoyuan HSR Station, Taoyuan Airport, Dayuan, Luzhu. Book the Dayuan store

Scooters are limited; availability is whatever the booking page shows.

Check the Dayuan store

Limited scooters: how to book

Check the booking page first: choose the Taoyuan or Dayuan store and your dates, then see whether a scooter appears in the list.
Try both stores, and a day earlier or later if your plans allow.
Book as soon as you see one: online bookings must be made 12–24 hours before pickup depending on the location. For last-minute needs, call the store or message us on WhatsApp.
None available? Rent a 5-seat car instead: there is room for luggage and you stay dry in the rain.

Practical riding tips in Taoyuan

Stay off national freeways and expressways: scooters like the GP-125 cannot use them. Use the motorcycle (two-wheeler) mode in Google Maps, and always follow the signs at the junction.
Left turns: where you see a scooter waiting box or a two-stage left turn sign, go straight to the box, turn your scooter, and wait for the cross-street green light.
Give large vehicles space: keep clear of the blind spot to the right and rear of trucks and buses.
Rain: road markings and drain covers get slippery; slow down and avoid hard braking.
Parking: use marked scooter bays; some roadside bays are paid. If you find a parking slip on the scooter, pay it the same day. More in our Taiwan parking guide.

Refuelling

You refuel the scooter yourself and pay for the fuel.
Fuel type: the official GP-125 model page lists 95-octane unleaded.
On return: the official FAQ says to return the scooter with the same fuel level as at pickup. Take a photo of the fuel gauge when you collect it.

Petrol station basics are in our Taiwan gas station guide; note that the first part of that article describes how GoodCars cars are refuelled and charged, which does not apply to scooters.
