Taxis Island-wide
Taxi website (currently in Chinese only):

http://www.taiwantaxi.com.tw/

List of taxi phone numbers by county - see below

Taxis will charge you NT$75 upon boarding, with NT$5 increases for the remainder of the journey. You may be charged NT$10 on up for using the trunk, depending on the size of whatever you are having them transport. Most drivers outside of Taipei speak little to no English and you are advised to carry a printed address and phone number of your destination in Chinese which will help them when they stop and ask directions from someone else upon getting lost...

Flagging a driver by hand is easy and you may have to turn away driver's at large department stores or airports, etc. Dispatch taxis may also be called from almost any destination and if you are on a regular route you may be able to contract with the company for a less expensive rate if you travel frequently (say, to a school in the boondocks which you may be able to get your boss to front the transport bill for from your city located apt...)
