Renting a scooter in Penghu is the most recommended way to get around. Penghu has plenty of sights: besides the Fireworks Festival, there are the Twin Hearts Stone Weir, Penghu Tianhou Temple, the Cross-Sea Bridge, Xiyu Lighthouse, Hujing Islet, Shanshui Beach and more.
Buses in Penghu are infrequent, and you could be waiting forever, so most visitors rent a scooter in Penghu during the summer. In winter, however, the northeast monsoon can blow you sideways while riding! For your own safety, we suggest renting a car instead.
During peak travel season we recommend booking early. Gogoout offers both cars and scooters, lets you compare all prices online, and you can pay by credit card at the time of booking, so there’s no worry about being charged extra at the counter.

Friendly reminders from gogoout
- Please bring your motorcycle license (not a car license) and your ID. (Visitors from reciprocal countries also need to bring their home-country license.)
- Most shops provide children’s helmets, but quantities are limited, so book early.
- Never carry three people on one scooter! Only an infant carried on your back may ride along; carrying a child over 3 years old is illegal.
- If anything happens to the vehicle (a flat tire, a breakdown, or the oil light flashing), contact the shop first to ask how to handle it. Don’t try to fix it yourself, to avoid disputes.
- When renting a scooter or car, people often worry about unreasonable charges. When you rent a scooter in Penghu, we suggest photographing the exterior and recording a full video as evidence, and asking about the damage compensation policy, so you don’t end up with unnecessary disputes and bad memories at drop-off.

Of course, you can also take a ferry from Budai in Chiayi (this is the shortest crossing — the boat ride from Chiayi to Penghu takes only 80–90 minutes)
