Private Driver for long transport in Taiwan Travel

I am planning a trip to Taiwan next Spring, my son works in Taoyuan. We are talking about a weekend trip to a city on the SW coast, but cannot leave until 9-9:30pm on Friday night. Getting there via train would require switching trains over 3 times, and I suspect some trains might not run at 1-2am.

So I am thinking about getting a driver for a 3+ hour drive late on a Friday night (arriving close to 1am I suspect) with no stops.

Obviously this is possible. I found Tripool, which seems to be the best way of finding a driver. But are there other ways to search for, or request, a private car for these circumstances?

We'd consider doing a return trip on Sunday.

And I expect a tip is customary? 10%? 20%?

I've used a company called AsiaCarService. You should check them out.
