Hi Blessedhomemaker, and Carolinesg

I am unable to book Meeky as he said he is fully booked!

I managed to contact another cabbie mentioned in another forum and he quoted TWT 3,500 for 8-9 hours. Seems a bit higher than the market rate? i tot it was TWT 3000.

Another question - did any cabbie asked for payment of deposit? Cos my cabbie/tour guide from Hualien asked for 30% deposit in advance...I tot it was quite unusual cos it is to an individual.

Hi, I could not hire Mr Meeky too cos he's fully booked for Dec. I engaged his friend, Mr Xu. Maybe you can try calling him?

Mr Xu told me 10-12h. I gathered that's fine. Same no. of hours as Mr Meeky Yang's, I think. Same rate as yours. He sounded friendly.

Hi godiva, his rate is expensive because he's driving a Volkswagon van that can seat up to 8 persons. It's TWD5,000 for 10 hours.

You can go to his FB website to see pics of his beloved brand new van and day trips made.

Blue belt,


Oh I see. Went to fb but cannot access pictures of car leh,

Anyway, there are only 4 of us so not worth the extra $$ since rate is about TWT 3500…

Thanks Anx


When I called Mr Xu, there were a lot of noise disturbance, so couldn’t talk long on places to visit & no. of hours. I told him I am staying at YMCA and he asked for my HP no. & no. of people, and to call him when I reached TPE to make sure I arrived, that’s all.
