Taoyuan airport imposes new rules, with fines up to NT$25,000
2026-08-11
If you’re planning an overseas summer vacation, take note. Since August, new rules have been in effect at the international airport in Taoyuan. Any motorist parked or loitering in the drop off/pick up zone for more than three minutes will be fined up to NT$1,200. Furthermore, placing standing signs, suitcases or other clutter in the arrival hall blocking traffic is also now prohibited. Fines for these violations stretch up to NT$25,000. Let’s find out more.
Outside the airport terminal’s pick-up and drop-off zone, a long line of cars is waiting. Every vehicle is picking up or dropping off passengers—some are loading luggage into trunks, while others are squeezing into the back seat with their bags. But be aware that the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport’s smart enforcement cameras are now officially active, so you’d better be quick. If you stop for more than three minutes and get caught on camera, it will be considered a violation and you’ll be fined.
Airport taxi operator
Thinks fine system is reasonable
Three minutes is about right. As long as they book in advance and are waiting for cars, it’s fine. As professionals, we know that we only arrive after the customer has made a booking and comes outside. But many ordinary people don’t know this and will be waiting there early.

Thinks fine system is reasonable
My timing will be calculated well, and I won’t be waiting there for that long, so I actually think it’s okay.
Whether three minutes is enough is a matter of opinion. As for violations, fines of up to NT$1,200 can be imposed according to the traffic management act.
In addition to fines for motorists that stop for too long to pick up or drop off passengers, the airport has also tightened regulations surrounding people meeting passengers inside the terminals. They are not allowed to use standing signs or put down suitcases or other clutter when they meet passengers. Violators can be fined up to NT$25,000.
Hotel airport transfer provider
Commenting on the new system
Previously, our hotel had a front desk—meaning we had a dedicated lounge area. So when we did airport pickups, after meeting guests here, we would all head over there. But later on, because of the pandemic, the airport terminal stopped renting those spaces to us. That’s what led to the current situation being a bit more chaotic.
This veteran airport pick-up operator says that they used to have dedicated arrival counters for tourists to find for themselves, but these were removed due to the pandemic, leading to the current chaotic situation. He’s hoping the authorities won’t just rely on fines, but will implement better planning to solve the root of the problem.

桃機科技執法新制上路 臨停超過3分鐘最高罰1200元
2026-08-11
八月開始，桃園機場的新制上路，民眾可得注意，未來不管是送機、接機，只要車輛臨停在接送區超過三分鐘，就可依道交條例，開罰最高一千二。另外，在接機大廳內，也不能用立牌、行李箱的雜物進行接機，違規最高可罰兩萬五。
機場航廈外接送區，排了一整排車，每輛都在接送旅客，有的搬行李到後車箱，有的連人帶行李擠進後座，但要注意，桃機科技執法已經正式上路，手腳可得快一點，因為只要停超過三分鐘，被電眼照到，就會視為違規，可開罰。
[[機場接送業者]]
“三分鐘其實差不多啦，只要客人先約好，人等車的話，那其實還好，像我們專業的，我們都知道啊，約好人，客人出來以後，我們才來，但是很多一般人的話，他們都不知道，他們會提早在那邊一直等。”
[[澳門遊客]]
“時間會算好，沒有那麼長時間會等在那邊，所以其實我是覺得還好。”
三分鐘時間到底夠不夠，見仁見智。至於違規的話，可依道交條例，開罰最高一千二。
除了臨停接送旅客太久的車輛，將會被開罰外，桃機對於進到航廈內接機的人員，規定也變嚴格，不得以立牌等雜物來接機，違反最高可罰兩萬五。
[[飯店接機業者]]
“我們之前，我們飯店是因為有飯店的櫃檯，就是說我們有休息室，所以我們出來接機的時候，在這邊以後，我們會都到那邊去，因為現在後來就因為疫情關係，航站不租給我們，所以才衍生出現在比較亂。”
資深接機業者說，以前他們是有專門的接機櫃台讓遊客自己找，因為疫情關係沒了，才變成現在這副亂象，希望有關單位不要只是罰錢，應該做更妥善規劃，從根本解決問題。
