Hong Kong Airport Taxi Price List 2026

See our booked reference prices for specific addresses from Hong Kong airport to Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, Mong Kok, Jordan, Hong Kong Disneyland, Ocean Park, Victoria Peak and the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, then compare them against the statutory meter plus tunnel, road, baggage, telephone booking, parking and waiting charges. The final price and the lawful fare basis must be confirmed in writing before the trip starts.

This price list is not a statutory uniform price, and it does not mean every address in the same district costs the same. An ordinary unbooked trip is charged on the meter as the law requires; only a pre-booked trip with an eligible taxi fleet may have a single fare, or the meter plus a booking fee, agreed in advance under the relevant rules.

When Does a Flat Fare Apply?

Kind of trip How it is charged What the passenger should check
An ordinary street hail or taxi stand trip On the meter as the law requires, plus any applicable statutory surcharge The meter, tunnels, roads, baggage and the receipt
A booking with a taxi that is not in a fleet Generally still charged on the meter and applicable surcharges as the law requires Do not assume the words "flat fare" alone mean it complies with the statutory fare arrangements
A pre-booked trip with an eligible taxi fleet The meter plus a pre-agreed booking fee, or a single fare agreed before the trip starts The operator, the fare basis, the single amount and what it includes
An unbooked trip with an eligible taxi fleet The same as an ordinary street hail or taxi stand trip: on the meter as the law requires A single arbitrary price cannot be switched to after boarding

A Price List Cannot Replace Confirming a Lawful Fare Basis

Before boarding, a passenger should know which eligible operator has taken the trip, whether the meter or a single fare applies, and how tunnels, baggage, parking, waiting and stops en route are handled. A reference price published on a website does not in itself mean a booking exists.

The 2026 Statutory Hong Kong Taxi Meter Fares

Charge Urban taxi/red New Territories taxi/green Lantau taxi/blue
First 2 km or any part of it $29 $25.5 $24
First stage, per 200 m/per minute of waiting $2.1, until the fare reaches $102.5 $1.9, until the fare reaches $82.5 $1.9, until the fare reaches $195
Thereafter, per 200 m/per minute of waiting $1.4 $1.4 $1.6
Per applicable piece of baggage $6 $6 $6
Per animal or bird $5 $5 $5
Telephone booking, per trip $5 $5 $5
Wheelchairs and canes for passengers with a disability Free Free Free

The statutory meter fares took effect on 14 July 2024 and still applied as at August 2026. Tunnel, road and return charges are added on the actual route under the relevant statutory rules.

Which Baggage Can Be Charged at $6 a Piece?

Generally baggage put in the boot, and baggage carried in the passenger compartment whose length, width and height add up to more than 140 cm. Ordinary light baggage in the cabin is not necessarily chargeable; a wheelchair or cane a passenger with a disability depends on to move about is free.

Is There a General Small-Hours Surcharge on Hong Kong Taxis?

The statutory meter fares include no general small-hours surcharge. A small-hours trip may still involve the normal meter, tunnels, roads, baggage, a telephone booking fee and waiting; where a booked price applies, it is confirmed on that lawful quotation and its written terms.

What Does a Reference Price Include? Check Every Item

🛣️

Tunnels and roads

Only where the quotation expressly says "tunnel and road charges included" should they be treated as included; otherwise they need confirming against the actual route.

🧳

Ordinary baggage

It should state how many large pieces are included. No baggage charge does not mean unlimited boot capacity.

📞

Telephone booking fee

The statutory telephone booking fee is $5 per trip; a booked quotation should say clearly whether it is counted in.

🅿️

Airport parking

A pick-up arrangement can involve parking costs. Confirm the free waiting time, the parking and what happens past it.

⏱️

Waiting time

Do not assume a flight delay, delayed baggage or a passenger out of contact means indefinite waiting at the original price.

📍

Stops en route

Collecting someone, separate drop-offs, a last-minute change of address or a long stop will usually change the price and the journey.

🚕

A particular class of vehicle

A six-seater, a larger boot or a named make is not automatically included; vehicle availability and the price must be confirmed.

🧾

Fare receipt

Passengers may ask for a machine-printed receipt; if the printer fails, a handwritten one should be given. A company document format needs confirming separately.

How Far "All-In" Goes Depends on What That Quotation Says

Unless that particular quotation sets it out clearly, do not assume every tunnel, baggage, telephone booking, parking, waiting and stop charge is already included. The most accurate way to put it is this: what is included is as that written quotation says. We itemise it when we quote, so you can check it line by line when you receive it.

How Is a 15% Discount on an Airport Taxi Worked Out?

"15% off" literally means a specified base multiplied by 0.85, but a passenger cannot assume every item on the bill takes part in the discount. The lawful fare basis, the trips it applies to, and how the discount is calculated must all be confirmed clearly before the trip starts.

Item Can you just multiply by 0.85? What to do instead
The specified metered fare portion Depends on the arrangement confirmed Ask for the discount base and the lawful fare basis to be set out
Tunnel and road charges Do not assume it yourself Confirm against the quotation or the actual statutory charge
Luggage charge Do not assume it yourself Confirm whether each piece is charged separately or included
Telephone booking fee Do not assume it yourself Confirm whether the $5 is separate or included
Parking and waiting Do not assume it yourself Confirm the free time and what happens past it before the pick-up
Stops en route Do not assume it yourself List every collection and drop-off point before the quotation

"15% Off" and a "Flat Fare" Are Not the Same Thing

15% off is a discount on a specified base; a flat fare is a single amount agreed beforehand on a pre-booked trip that meets the applicable rules. The two work differently and should not be described as if they were one.

For a mathematical comparison, use the 15%-off fare calculator; the result is an estimate, and the formal arrangement is still the lawful written quotation.

How Should You Read Airport Taxi Journey Times?

The times in the price list are for trip planning, not a promise of arrival. The actual journey depends on the time of day, the harbour route, road works, accidents, severe weather, event closures, airport traffic and the hotel entrance.

When the Journey Most Easily Gets Longer

  • Weekday morning and evening peaks.
  • Congestion in the harbour tunnels and on the main trunk roads.
  • Weekend attractions, concerts, exhibitions, and cruise passengers arriving or leaving together.
  • Heavy rain, a typhoon, flooded roads or a traffic accident.
  • Temporary traffic controls at Victoria Peak, Disneyland, Kai Tak or around a major event.
  • Queues at a hotel, shopping centre or cruise terminal entrance.
  • Several stops en route, or passengers not gathering on time.

Chasing a Flight Means More Than Reading "About 30 Minutes"

For a drop-off, also allow time for boarding, traffic, T1 or T2 check-in, bag drop, security, immigration and getting to the gate. No road transfer can be guaranteed entirely free of traffic.

For the small hours and early flights see Small-Hours and Red-Eye Airport Taxis.

Airport Taxi Prices vs the Airport Express

Compared on Airport taxi Airport Express
How it is charged Generally for the whole vehicle and the whole trip Per passenger and per station; group offers also exist
Where you end up Near the door of the hotel, home or commercial building Hong Kong, Kowloon or Tsing Yi station, and so on
A second connection Generally not needed Needed where the destination is not near a station
Luggage Less carrying, but limited by boot capacity There is luggage space, but you carry and change trains yourself
Traffic risk Affected by road traffic Rail timings are steadier, but it is not 24 hours

Three to five people on the Airport Express may qualify for a group fare, so it is wrong to claim flatly that a taxi is always cheaper for a group. Compare the full taxi quotation against all the Airport Express tickets, the connecting fares and the changing time. See Airport Taxi vs the Airport Express.

Do Large Groups and Big Bags Affect the Price?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

A family traveller

Declare adults, children, infants and any pushchair at the same time, so you do not end up with enough seats but not enough luggage space.

🧳

Several bags

Boot capacity differs from model to model; even where a quotation includes ordinary baggage, that does not mean unlimited loading.

♿

Wheelchair

Say whether the wheelchair folds, its dimensions, and whether the passenger can transfer to a seat, so a suitable vehicle can be arranged.

🏌️

Oversized items

For a golf bag, bike box, instrument or exhibition item, give the length, width and height; a special class of vehicle may be needed.

🚕

A specific six-seater

Hong Kong taxis differ in registered seats and luggage space, so a specified number of seats and a specified model must be confirmed in writing.

🚕🚕

When two vehicles are needed

Where the passengers or baggage exceed what one vehicle can safely carry, they have to be split and each vehicle's trip quoted again.

For more see the Airport Taxi Guide for Groups and Large Luggage.

Price and legal statement: the amounts for specific destinations on this page are the booked reference prices this site published as at 31 August 2026. They are not a territory-wide statutory uniform price, and they do not apply to every address in the same district, every class of vehicle or every date. An ordinary unbooked taxi trip is charged on the meter plus applicable surcharges as the law requires; a pre-booked trip with an eligible taxi fleet may, under the applicable rules, have a single fare agreed before the trip starts, or the meter plus a pre-agreed booking fee. Before accepting any price, a passenger should verify the actual service operator, the lawful fare basis, the full address, the date, the class of vehicle, and whether tunnels, roads, baggage, the telephone booking fee, parking, waiting and stops en route are included. Journey times are for general planning only and are not a promise of punctuality. Receiving a quotation is not a completed booking: you need the formal confirmation and the dispatch details.
