Used Uber in Taiwan just this past month. All was fine. Use it while you still can.

And yes, OP has rented a car; not sure when the trip is.

As someone who has lived in Taiwan for many years, I would never recommend driving to any visitor. It's kinda like asking for trouble and extra inconvenience. If you can avoid it, do so.

Putting Uber aside, you do realize OP had rented a car, right?
