FAQ
Why is this private car cheaper than a HK taxi from airport to city alone?
Because the cross-border vehicle is Mainland-registered for fuel & maintenance — operating costs are split across both jurisdictions. The single-trip dual-plate car effectively replaces taxi + ferry + taxi.
Can I pay in RMB / HKD / USD?
Yes — RMB cash, HKD cash, WeChat Pay, Alipay, PayPal, bank transfer all accepted. USD via PayPal pre-pay.
Are there additional fees at the checkpoint?
No — cross-border tolls are included. The driver handles all checkpoint queues; you stay in the car (HKZMB excepted).
What if I'm 1 hour late?
First 30 min free. Beyond that, RMB 100 / 30 min waiting fee.
How early should I book?
For weekday peak times, 24 h ahead. For weekend / holiday peaks, 3–5 days ahead.
