In Taiwan, bicycles are very common tools. If you look closely, you can find that they are all U-bike.This article I will teach you how to rent a U-bike in Taiwan.
U-bike Payment methods
1. A single car rental can only be paid by “credit card”. The usage rate is calculated according to the area where the borrowing station is located (go to check the rates in each area immediately). You can check the transaction information of each car rental on the credit card statement. 2. Single rental (non-member) does not apply to ride allowance and public bicycle injury insurance. 3. Use a credit card to authorize a single rental car, each authorization is 120 hours, and a new authorization is required for more than 120 hours. 4. The authorization fee must be withheld for a single rental: YouBike 1.0 is NT$2,000, and YouBike 2.0 is NT$3,000. If the vehicle is rented and returned normally, after the authorization expires, the system will automatically cancel the authorization and refund the authorized amount. The return time is subject to the working days of each credit card bank.
How to rent and return U-bike
In addition to using EasyCard, YouBike can use credit cards (VISA, JCB, MASTER) to rent a car for a single trip if you are a tourist from out of town without EasyCard. In addition, foreigners can also use the residence permit to register as a new member and rent it on the YouBike official website, app or automatic service machines at each station. There are three versions of U-bike in Taiwan,YouBike 1.0, YouBike 2.0 and YouBike 2.0E. Basically, YouBike 1.0 and YouBike 2.0 are roughly the same, and YouBike 2.0E has power assist.
