Yes, traveling around Taiwan by car is easy and convenient. The island has well-maintained highways and clear road signs in both Chinese and English, making a round trip smooth and flexible.

However, in major cities such as Taipei, it's often easier to use public transportation. The metro, buses, and trains are clean, efficient, and well-connected, saving you time and parking hassle.

For the best experience, many travelers combine both: public transport in the cities and a rental car for exploring Taiwan's beautiful countryside and coastline.
