Truck Rental in Taoyuan: 2 Pickup Stores, 3 Small Trucks, and How to Get There from Zhongli, Taoyuan HSR and the Airport

Truck Rental in Taoyuan: 2 Pickup Stores, 3 Small Trucks, and How to Get There from Zhongli, Taoyuan HSR and the Airport

Moving flat in Zhongli, hauling materials between job sites, or delivering a load from Taoyuan down to Hsinchu? In Taoyuan, GoodCars rents trucks from only two stores: Taoyuan Store (桃園店) and Dayuan Store (大園店). Both currently offer three models: the Veryca automatic, the Veryca manual, and the Delica automatic with a tail lift. One thing to know up front: Taoyuan HSR Station and Pingzhen Fumei currently have no trucks available, and Taoyuan Airport (TPE) does not rent trucks at all — those locations are for cars only.

This guide is only about renting a truck in Taoyuan: which of the two stores to pick, how long the drive is from Zhongli, Pingzhen, Bade, the HSR station and the airport, which truck suits which job, how to plan a moving day, and why you must return the truck to the store you picked it up from. For the general guide to all GoodCars trucks (model comparison, packing and tie-down tips), see Truck Rental in Taiwan. For cars in Taoyuan, see Taoyuan Car Rental.

Taoyuan Store or Dayuan Store?

Both stores currently offer the same three trucks. The real differences are location and bookable hours. Addresses, phone numbers and hours come from the GoodCars store directory.

• Daytime, in central Taoyuan: choose Taoyuan Store. Staff are there to walk you through the truck on your first rental.
• Early start or late return: choose Dayuan Store for the longer booking window. After 21:00 it's self-service, so phone first if it's your first time.
• Check both: there are fewer trucks than cars, and weekends and month-end moving days book up fast. If one store is full, try the other or shift by a day.

How long is the drive from Zhongli, Pingzhen, Bade, the HSR and the airport?

GoodCars has no truck pickup in Zhongli or Pingzhen right now: Taoyuan HSR Station (in Zhongli District) and Pingzhen Fumei currently have no trucks. Driving times below were checked on Google Maps late at night with light traffic; expect longer during the day and at rush hour.

• Plan your trip home: once you return the truck, you're standing at the store. Taoyuan Store is about 1.6 km from Taoyuan Railway Station — walk or take a short taxi ride to catch the train; from Dayuan Store you'll most likely need a taxi or a friend to pick you up.
• Navigate by address: pasting the Chinese address into your map app is more reliable than searching the store name.

Which of the 3 trucks should you pick?

These are the three trucks currently offered in Taoyuan (the Delica manual isn't bookable here at the moment; the booking page is the final word). Engine, transmission, seats and fuel type come from the GoodCars model pages. All three have a steel frame and canvas cover fitted; actual cargo bed size and load capacity follow the truck's registration — ask the store at pickup.

• Automatic only? Choose the Veryca automatic or the Delica automatic. Not sure which truck you can rent? Call the store before booking.
• Heavy appliances? The Delica's tail lift raises a fridge or washer from the ground to the cargo bed — no heavy lifting.
• How many people ride along? The Veryca seats 2 and the Delica seats 3, so pick the Delica if you need a second helper in the cab.

Planning a moving day in Taoyuan

Truck rates come as a daily rate, plus rates that start from a 2-hour minimum and a 12-hour minimum. The biggest waste is paying for a truck while you're still packing. A simple order of work:

1. Pack a few days ahead: seal and label boxes by room; take bed frames and shelves apart. For loading and tie-down tips, see the moving section of Truck Rental in Taiwan.
2. Ask your building about parking: where the truck can stop at the old and new address, and whether the lift needs booking.
3. Time the full loop: the truck goes back to the same store. Moving from Zhongli to Bade with a Taoyuan Store truck means Taoyuan Store → Zhongli → Bade → Taoyuan Store. Count every leg.
4. Pick the right block: rates start from a 2-hour minimum or a 12-hour minimum; several trips or a cross-town move usually needs 12 hours or a full day. The booking page shows what you can actually book and the price.
5. Avoid rush hour: Taoyuan and Zhongli roads get busy at commuting times, and a loaded truck is slower to pull away and change lanes.

Job sites, materials and multi-day use

• Several days in a row: the longer you rent, the lower the average daily cost. Both Veryca models have a monthly plan on the price list; the Delica automatic doesn't list one, so ask the store for longer rentals.
• Rain: the canvas cover keeps off most rain but isn't a sealed box. Wrap boxes and timber in plastic sheeting and check the straps before setting off.
• Long items: timber, pipes and shelving should fit inside the cargo bed and be tied down; if they don't fit, make two trips or choose the Delica.
• Heavy items forward: load heavy things low and toward the cab, lighter ones on top. Nobody rides in the cargo bed.

Driving a load from Taoyuan to Hsinchu

GoodCars' only Hsinchu location is Hsinchu HSR Station, and it has no trucks, so people moving to or from Hsinchu often rent in Taoyuan. Before you go:

• Driving time: Taoyuan Store to the Hsinchu Railway Station area is about 45 minutes on Google Maps late at night; daytime and weekends take longer.
• You must drive back to Taoyuan: the truck can't be left in Hsinchu. Budget the round trip — unloading in Hsinchu plus the drive back — and leave plenty of time for the drive back.
• No fuel money needed: there's no distance cap, you fill up with the fuel card, and fuel is covered by the Fuel charge based on actual distance.
• Freeway tolls: every vehicle has an ETC tag; tolls are settled when you return the truck.

Costs: rental fee + Fuel charge, with a fuel card

• Rental fee: depends on the model, store and pickup/return times; longer rentals bring the daily average down. Get the exact figure from the online quote.
• Fuel charge: based on the distance between pickup and return; per-model rates are on the Fuel charge page.
• Fuel card: ask the attendant to fill up for you and pay with the card; self-service pumps may not accept it. There's no need to top up before returning.
• Forgot the card? Keep a valid receipt from the rental period and it can be offset against that rental's Fuel charge.

What to bring and how to book

• Foreign licence holders: bring a valid International Driving Permit, your original home-country licence, and your passport. Full details are in the Ultimate Taiwan Car Rental Guide.
• Age and experience: under GoodCars' rental conditions, foreign renters must be 25 or older and have held a licence for at least 1 year.
• Payment: foreign renters need a credit card in the renter's own name.
• Booking: depending on the location, online bookings need to be made 12–24 hours before pickup. For last-minute needs, call the store or message us on WhatsApp.
• Language: staff use translation apps, and some stores can help in English.
• Night pickups: see 24-Hour Car Rental in Taiwan for how late-night pickup works.
