Late-Night Hong Kong Airport to Shenzhen Pickup

If you land at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) late at night, a pre-booked private car can take you to Shenzhen through a 24-hour checkpoint such as the new Huanggang Port. Fares follow the normal Shenzhen table from RMB 800 / HKD 930 per vehicle, plus a fixed RMB 200 / HKD 230 surcharge for pickups between 00:00 and 06:59. Shenzhen Bay and Heung Yuen Wai close overnight, so the route is planned around what is open.

Which border crossings are open at night?

Checkpoint	Passenger clearance hours	Night use
New Huanggang Port	24 hours (opened 12 October 2026)	Main late-night option for Futian, Luohu and central Shenzhen
HZMB Hong Kong Port	24 hours	Used when it suits the destination and route
Shenzhen Bay	06:30–24:00	Not available after midnight
Heung Yuen Wai / Liantang	07:00–22:00	Not available overnight

Hours are from Hong Kong Customs passenger clearance information and the Hong Kong Government announcement on the new Huanggang Port. Temporary changes are possible; dispatch rechecks before your trip.

Fares for late-night trips

Why pre-book for a red-eye arrival

• Public cross-boundary coaches from the airport have last departures; late flights can miss them.
• An ordinary Hong Kong taxi cannot cross into Shenzhen.
• A night taxi queue at the border and a second taxi in Shenzhen add time and cost.
• With a booking, the driver follows your flight and waits under the agreed terms.

What to send for a night booking

1. Flight number and scheduled landing time
2. Number of adults, children and infants
3. Number and size of suitcases
4. Exact Shenzhen address or hotel
5. Phone or WhatsApp number that works on arrival

FAQ

Can I cross from Hong Kong to Shenzhen after midnight?

Yes, through a 24-hour checkpoint. The new Huanggang Port and the HZMB Hong Kong Port operate 24 hours. Shenzhen Bay closes at midnight.

How much extra is a late-night pickup?

A fixed RMB 200 / HKD 230 is added for pickups between 00:00 and 06:59, on top of the destination fare.

My flight is delayed past midnight. What happens?

The driver follows the flight. If the new pickup time falls after 00:00, the night surcharge applies, and the route switches to a 24-hour port if needed. Waiting beyond the included time is charged as stated in the written order.

Do I get out of the car at Huanggang at night?

Under the arrangements announced for the new port, general private-car passengers disembark at the drop-off area and walk through immigration. Officers' instructions take priority.

Are there late-night coaches from the airport to Shenzhen?

HKIA lists coach services to Lok Ma Chau (Huanggang) with late departures. Check the operator's current timetable on the day, as the move to the new port may have changed stops and times.
