Hi sarchar,


What is considered early? Can you pm me the details of your driver for consideration and advise me on what my budget should be? Thank you! Very green at this...

I booked about 3 months ahead for popular minsus. For the rest, not an issuse. There are many Minsus in Taiwan. Easy to find 1 to suit your budget.

I wont recommend my driver cos he was quite reckless driver. But I know people are full of praises for the drivers from a website/a facebook. pls pm me if you want the website.

Check out http://www.tripadvisor.com for Taiwan Forum on driver recommendation.

Basically Driver price range is between SGD $200-300 per day. Some drivers are really just \"drivers\", not a guide. If you have 7 people, you can book a mini van 9 seater. If you have only 3-4 people, you can book a Wish MPV driver.

If you are going to stay at Starry Minsu, you can ask the Owner to recommend you their popular drivers. I met some of them! Very nice guys!

We had a cheap driver but we paid all his meals and towards the end, we offerred to pay for his single rooms at our minsu! that was expensive!
