Airport to Kowloon Hotels by taxi | Fixed fares by district · Mei Foo from $200 · Straight to the lobby

Q: How much is a taxi from the airport to a Kowloon hotel?

Kowloon is a big area, and the price varies by district: Mei Foo about $200; Lai Chi Kok and Cheung Sha Wan about $210; Sham Shui Po and Nam Cheong $215–$225; Prince Edward, Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei $220–$230; Kowloon Tong and Ho Man Tin $230–$240; Hung Hom and To Kwa Wan $230–$240; Kowloon City and Kai Tak $230–$245; Wong Tai Sin and Diamond Hill $240–$250; Kwun Tong, Lam Tin and Kowloon Bay $250–$270. All of them include tunnel tolls, the return toll and luggage. Give us the full hotel name or the district and we can quote accurately.

Q: In Kowloon, is the fixed fare or the 15%-off meter better value?

Kowloon does not cross the harbour, so the two are quite close. Taking Mong Kok at about 31 km, the meter comes to roughly $257, less 15% is about $218, and the fixed fare is $220–$230 — not much in it. The real difference is against the full metered fare: $257 plus $12 for two bags is about $269, so the fixed fare saves roughly $40–$50. The fixed fare also includes luggage, carries no surcharge for traffic, and is known before you land. We quote both so you can choose.

Q: Do I pay tunnel tolls going from a Kowloon hotel to the airport?

Nothing extra. Kowloon trips never cross a harbour tunnel, so there is no $25 toll and no $25 return toll. The Airport Tunnel, Nam Wan Tunnel and Cheung Tsing Tunnel along the way are all on the Transport Department's list of government road tunnels with no toll, and the Lantau Link has been toll-free since December 2020. Some eastern Kowloon routes use the Kai Tak Tunnel or the Central Kowloon Route, which are also toll-free. That makes Kowloon one of the simplest fare structures in Hong Kong: it reflects distance and nothing else.

Q: My hotel is near the Ladies' Market or Apliu Street. Can a taxi get there?

Yes, but there are real constraints. Parts of Fa Yuen Street, Tung Choi Street (the Ladies' Market) and Sai Yeung Choi Street South in Mong Kok are pedestrian zones or stall areas; Apliu Street and Pei Ho Street in Sham Shui Po are crowded with stalls and delivery vans, so a vehicle may not reach the door. In practice we set down on the nearest main road — Nathan Road, Lai Chi Kok Road or Cheung Sha Wan Road — a few dozen metres away. We confirm the drop-off point when we send you the registration number.

Q: Will a concert at the Coliseum or an event at Kai Tak Sports Park affect my trip?

Yes. On concert nights at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Cheong Wan Road, Chatham Road North and the area around Hung Hom station fill with people and carry temporary traffic arrangements; when there is a major fixture or concert at Kai Tak Sports Park, traffic builds sharply on Prince Edward Road East, Kwun Tong Road and around Kai Tak. If your hotel is nearby and your trip falls on an event day, allow another 20–30 minutes and tell us when you book, and we will arrange a closer set-down point.

Q: Is there an Airport Express station in Kowloon?

There is one — Kowloon station, in the West Kowloon and Jordan area — with in-town check-in and free shuttle buses to selected hotels (routes, frequencies and fares as published by the MTR). But Kowloon station only serves a small slice of West Kowloon. If your hotel is in Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom, Kowloon City or Kwun Tong, you still need an MTR ride or another connection from there, which is no fun with luggage.

Q: Can I book for a late-night arrival? Is there a surcharge?

Yes, we run 24 hours a day all year round, with no night surcharge. The Airport Express and the MTR have service hours, so red-eye arrivals often cannot use the railway at all. Fixed fares on some routes are slightly higher in the morning peak (generally 05:00–08:00), and we say so clearly when we quote. See late-night airport taxi.

Q: If my flight is delayed or early, do I lose the fare?

No. Give us the flight number when you book and we dispatch against the actual landing time, tracking delays for you. If the delay is a long one — several hours, say — just send a WhatsApp so we can adjust; there is no rebooking fee.

Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Prince Edward, Sham Shui Po, Cheung Sha Wan, Mei Foo, Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon Tong, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon City, Kai Tak, Wong Tai Sin, Kwun Tong — all of it is called "Kowloon", but from Mei Foo (about 27 km) to Kwun Tong (about 37 km) is a 10 km spread, which is roughly $70 in distance alone. So we quote by district: Mei Foo $200, Mong Kok $220, Hung Hom $235, Kwun Tong from $250, with tunnel tolls, the return toll and luggage all included, straight to the hotel lobby. Airport pickups 24 hours a day; you can book by text in 中文, 日本語 or 한국어.

"Kowloon" is not one place — why we insist on quoting by district

This is the most important section on the page, and the part most of the trade leaves vague

"Kowloon" is very wide from west to east. By driving distance:

Airport → Mei Foo: about 27 km
Airport → Mong Kok: about 31 km
Airport → Hung Hom: about 33 km
Airport → Kwun Tong: about 37 km

That is a spread of about 10 km between nearest and furthest. Under the legal tariff, once the meter passes $102.5 it charges $1.4 per 200 m — about $7 a kilometre — so 10 km is a gap of roughly $70.

Quote one price for all of Kowloon and two kinds of unfairness follow

Guests in Mei Foo and Lai Chi Kok overpay. Their trip is only 27 km, but they pay the same as Kwun Tong.
Guests in Kwun Tong and Lam Tin risk being turned away, or asked for more afterwards. A driver who finds the real distance far exceeds the quote is going to dispute it.

So we stick to quoting by district — send us the full hotel name or the area on WhatsApp and we give you a firm figure for that district. It is fair to both sides, and it is the fundamental reason we never add to a price after quoting it.

Fixed fares from the airport to Kowloon hotels, by district

Tunnel tolls, the return toll and luggage all included, straight to the hotel lobby

District	Areas covered	Distance	Meter estimate	Metered total	Fixed fare	Journey time
Mei Foo	Mei Foo Sun Chuen, Manhattan Hill, Lai Wan, the western end of Castle Peak Road	about 27 km	about $229	about $241	$200	25–35 min
Lai Chi Kok / Cheung Sha Wan	Lai Chi Kok Road, Cheung Sha Wan Road, Hing Wah Street, Lai Chi Kok station, Cheung Sha Wan station, D2 Place and around	about 28 km	about $236	about $248	$210	28–38 min
Sham Shui Po / Nam Cheong	Northern Nathan Road, Kweilin Street, Pei Ho Street, Apliu Street, Nam Cheong station, Sham Shui Po station	about 30 km	about $250	about $262	$215–$225	28–40 min
Prince Edward / Mong Kok / Yau Ma Tei	Nathan Road, Argyle Street, Sai Yeung Choi Street, Shanghai Street, Langham Place, Mong Kok station, Yau Ma Tei station	about 31 km	about $257	about $269	$220–$230	30–40 min
Kowloon Tong / Yau Yat Tsuen	Kowloon Tong station, Festival Walk, Waterloo Road, Broadcast Drive, Tat Chee Avenue	about 32 km	about $264	about $276	$230–$240	32–45 min
Ho Man Tin / King's Park	Ho Man Tin station, Oi Man Estate, Waterloo Hill, Wylie Road, Princess Margaret Road	about 32 km	about $264	about $276	$230–$240	32–45 min
Hung Hom / To Kwa Wan	Hung Hom station, Metropolis Drive, Cheong Wan Road, Hong Kong Coliseum, Ma Tau Wai Road, To Kwa Wan Road	about 33 km	about $271	about $283	$230–$240	32–45 min
Kowloon City / Kai Tak	Prince Edward Road West, Shi Tsz Shek Road, Kai Tak station, Kai Tak Sports Park, the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal area	about 34 km	about $278	about $290	$230–$245	35–45 min
Wong Tai Sin / Diamond Hill	Wong Tai Sin station, Wong Tai Sin Temple, Diamond Hill station, Plaza Hollywood, San Po Kong, Tsz Wan Shan	about 35 km	about $285	about $297	$240–$250	35–45 min
Kwun Tong / Lam Tin / Kowloon Bay	Kwun Tong station, apm, Kwun Tong Road, Lam Tin station, Kowloon Bay, Ngau Tau Kok, Yau Tong	about 37 km	about $299	about $311	$250–$270	40–50 min

※ The meter estimate is worked out in the open. An urban red taxi charges $29 for the first 2 km, then $2.1 per 200 m until the fare reaches $102.5 (at around the 9th kilometre), after which it is $1.4 per 200 m, or roughly $7 a kilometre. For 31 km: $102.5 + (31 − 9) × $7 ≈ $257. The "metered total" is the meter estimate plus $12 for two bags. None of this includes waiting-time increments — the legal tariff charges "per 200 m or per minute of waiting", and once you are in city traffic the meter runs higher. Distances are approximate driving distances; fixed fares are indicative and may differ in peak hours (generally 05:00–08:00). The price quoted when you book is the one that applies. Check it yourself with our fare calculator.

Kowloon does not cross the harbour, so we quote both prices

Taking Mong Kok at about 31 km with two checked bags — and here we are more candid than most of the trade

① Queue at the airport taxi rank (full metered fare) about $269 Estimated meter $257
+ luggage $6 × 2 = $12
plus the queue, and more again in traffic

② Meter less 15% about $218 $257 × 0.85
luggage charged per piece
lowest when the roads are clear

③ Our fixed fare $220–$230 Luggage included
No surcharge for traffic
The amount is locked before you land

We are not going to overstate it: in Kowloon the fixed fare and the 15%-off meter are quite close

Because Kowloon does not cross the harbour, there is no $25 tunnel toll and no $25 return toll — no $50 of cost to absorb. So the fixed fare ($220–$230) and the 15%-off meter (about $218) are not far apart.

The real gap is against the full metered fare (about $269), where the fixed fare saves roughly $40–$50.

Each has its merits, so we quote both:

The 15%-off meter is lowest when the roads are clear — late at night or early in the morning, for instance.
The fixed fare includes luggage (two bags are $12 in themselves), carries no surcharge for traffic, and is known before you land. When Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po are congested, the fixed fare is clearly the safer bet.

We do the same on Tsing Yi (also short). By contrast Hong Kong Island, Victoria Peak and Ocean Park all cross the harbour, so the fixed fare wins clearly there. The pricing model for every district is set out in why choose us.

Kowloon to the airport: no tolls at all, the whole way

This is Kowloon's biggest structural advantage over Hong Kong Island

Kowloon and the airport sit on the same side of the harbour road network, so the trip never crosses the water. The standard route is Airport Tunnel → Nam Wan Tunnel → Tsing Ma Bridge (Lantau Link) → Cheung Tsing Tunnel → Tsing Kwai Highway → West Kowloon Highway, then into the city by district.

Tunnel / road	Taxi toll	Relevance to this route
Airport Tunnel, Nam Wan Tunnel	No charge	Always used
Lantau Link (Tsing Ma Bridge)	Toll waived since December 2020	Always used
Cheung Tsing Tunnel	No charge	Always used
Central Kowloon Route (Yau Ma Tei section tunnel)	Currently on the toll-free list	May be used for eastern Kowloon districts (opened 21 December 2025)
Kai Tak Tunnel	No charge	May be used towards Kowloon City, Kai Tak, Wong Tai Sin and Kwun Tong
Cross-Harbour / Eastern / Western tunnels	$25 + $25 return toll	This route does not cross the harbour, so it does not apply
Tai Lam Tunnel	$28	Does not apply to this route

Against Hong Kong Island: Kowloon starts $50 cheaper

Going to Hong Kong Island from the airport means crossing the water: the taxi toll for all three harbour tunnels is currently a flat $25, and if the passenger did not board at a cross-harbour taxi stand a further $25 return toll applies, so $50 in all. Kowloon carries none of that, which is why the district fixed fares here ($200–$270) sit clearly below island hotels ($280–$300). The return-toll rules are set out in the surcharge guide.

Eastern Kowloon has improved, thanks to a new road

The Central Kowloon Route (Yau Ma Tei section) / Central Kowloon Corridor opened on 21 December 2025: about 4.7 km, dual three-lane, bypassing congested central Kowloon. The government has said the peak-hour drive from Yau Ma Tei to Kowloon Bay can fall from about 30 minutes to about 5. So hotels around Kowloon City, Kai Tak, Wong Tai Sin and Kwun Tong are easier to reach on arrival than they used to be. The actual arrangements are as published by the government.

Meeting you on arrival: four steps, and a car is waiting when you land

No app to download, no account to create, no deposit to pay

Send us your flight number and hotel. On WhatsApp, give the flight number, arrival date and time, the full hotel name and its district (for example "the such-and-such hotel in Mong Kok, Nathan Road"), the number of passengers and the number of bags. We work from the flight's actual landing time and track delays automatically.
You get a district fixed fare. We quote a firm amount for the district your hotel is in, with tunnel tolls, the return toll and luggage included. For the shorter western Kowloon districts we also quote the 15%-off meter so you can compare.
You get the registration number and the meeting point. We reply with the vehicle registration and the agreed meeting point in the arrivals hall. Send us a WhatsApp once you have your bags and the driver comes straight over.
Check the plate, then get in. Check the registration number before you board and confirm the vehicle is a licensed red, green or blue taxi, with a roof sign and a legal meter, so you do not end up in an unlicensed car. Tell the driver if you need a receipt.

There are more tips in how to book, how to call a taxi and how our quotes work; if you would rather not queue, see the airport taxi rank guide.

Dropping off in Kowloon: watch out for pedestrian streets and market stalls

The obstacles here are different from Tsim Sha Tsui — they are street markets, stall areas and pedestrian zones

Location	The situation	What we do about it
Fa Yuen Street, Tung Choi Street (Ladies' Market) and Sai Yeung Choi Street South, Mong Kok	Parts of these are pedestrian zones or stall areas that vehicles may not be able to enter	We set down on Nathan Road or Argyle Street, a few dozen metres' walk away
Apliu Street, Pei Ho Street and Kweilin Street, Sham Shui Po	Crowded with stalls and delivery vans on narrow streets	We set down on Cheung Sha Wan Road or Lai Chi Kok Road
Temple Street and Shanghai Street, Yau Ma Tei	Extremely busy during night-market hours	We set down on Nathan Road or the Jordan Road side
Around the Hong Kong Coliseum (concert days)	Cheong Wan Road and Chatham Road North have temporary traffic arrangements and large crowds	We switch to Hung Hom station or the Metropolis Drive side, and allow extra time
Around Kai Tak Sports Park (event days)	Traffic builds sharply on Prince Edward Road East, Kwun Tong Road and around Kai Tak	We use the closest available set-down point; allow another 20–30 minutes
Shi Tsz Shek Road and Prince Edward Road West, Kowloon City	Dense restaurants with constant loading and unloading	We set down on a wider stretch, or at the hotel's side entrance

Give us these three things and the drop-off goes far more smoothly

The full hotel or building name (with the Chinese name). Kowloon has plenty of guesthouses with similar names; the full Chinese name is the most reliable.
The street it is on — Nathan Road, Lai Chi Kok Road, Cheung Sha Wan Road, Ma Tau Wai Road, Prince Edward Road West or Kwun Tong Road, for instance.
A nearby landmark — Langham Place, Festival Walk, apm, Plaza Hollywood or Hung Hom station, for instance.

When we send you the registration number we confirm the drop-off point at the same time, so you know where the driver will stop before you land.

Kowloon has only one Airport Express station — so what is the best way in?

Kowloon station serves a limited area, and that settles the choice for most Kowloon hotel guests

Kowloon has one Airport Express station — Kowloon station, in the West Kowloon and Jordan area — with in-town check-in and free shuttle buses to selected hotels (routes, frequencies and fares as published by the MTR). But Kowloon station only serves a small slice of West Kowloon.

Your situation	What we suggest	Why
1–2 people, light luggage, staying near Kowloon station / Elements	Airport Express	The station is right there, and in-town check-in is available
Your hotel is on an Airport Express free shuttle route	Airport Express + shuttle	Saves the connecting fare (routes are as published by the MTR)
One person, light luggage, staying next to an MTR station in Mong Kok or Sham Shui Po	Airport bus or MTR	It costs less, and we are not going to push you off it
Three or more people	Taxi (district fixed fare)	Charged per car, not per head
More than two checked bags	Taxi	No luggage charge, and no platforms or escalators to negotiate
Staying in Ho Man Tin, Kowloon City, Wong Tai Sin or Kwun Tong	Taxi	From Kowloon station you still need an MTR ride or another connection
Staying at a guesthouse in the Sham Shui Po or Mong Kok market streets	Taxi	We can reach the nearest main road, so you are not dragging bags through the stalls
Travelling with elderly relatives, small children or a pushchair	Taxi	Arrivals hall to hotel lobby with no changes
Arriving late at night (red-eye flights)	Taxi	The railway has service hours; taxis run 24 hours

Airport bus routes (A21, A22 and the like), frequencies and fares are as published by KMB and Long Win. There is a fuller comparison in taxi vs Airport Express and airport transport compared.

Landed too early to check in? Kowloon is the easiest place to wander bag-free

Because Kowloon is itself the shopping, market and food district — there is nothing else to travel to

Go to the hotel first and leave your bags. Most Kowloon hotels will hold luggage before the official check-in time (each hotel sets its own policy), so you can head out unencumbered.
Plenty within walking distance. Mong Kok (Langham Place, the Ladies' Market, Sneaker Street), Sham Shui Po (Apliu Street, the electronics and fabric markets), Yau Ma Tei (the Temple Street night market, the jade market), Kowloon City (the restaurant streets), Kowloon Tong (Festival Walk), Kwun Tong (apm) — all right on the doorstep.
Do it all in one trip. You can book "airport → hotel (drop the bags) → attraction" and we quote one total for the actual route, with nothing added once you are in the car.
If you want the sights. Victoria Peak, Ocean Park, Disneyland and the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal can all be booked.
The same thing in reverse on departure day. Check out, leave your bags, see the city for half a day, and we pick you up at the agreed time — see Mong Kok / Sham Shui Po to the airport, Kowloon City to the airport and Kwun Tong to the airport.

The statutory fares behind all of this

The current taxi tariff took effect on 14 July 2024 and still applies in 2026

Charge	Urban taxi (red)	New Territories taxi (green)	Lantau taxi (blue)
First 2 km or part thereof	$29.0	$25.5	$24.0
Each 200 m / minute of waiting thereafter (first band)	$2.1 (below $102.5)	$1.9 (below $82.5)	$1.9 (below $195)
Each 200 m / minute of waiting thereafter (second band)	$1.4 ($102.5 and above)	$1.4 ($82.5 and above)	$1.6 ($195 and above)

Kowloon is urban, so it is served by red taxis. The differences between the three are explained in Hong Kong taxi types.

Statutory surcharges

Item	Statutory charge	Our fixed fare
Per piece of luggage	$6 (bags in the boot, or bags in the cabin whose length, width and height total more than 140 cm)	Included
Telephone booking, per trip	$5	Included
Per animal or bird	$5	Please mention it when booking
Wheelchairs and crutches	Free	Free
Airport car park fee	Not a statutory taxi charge; around $16 is common in this trade for airport pickups	We state clearly whether it is included in the quote

These are set out in full in the 2026 taxi fare standard, how fares are calculated and the surcharge guide; for payment see payment methods and the payment guide.

Why book your Kowloon hotel pickup with us

District pricing, not one price for everyone

Mei Foo and Kwun Tong are 10 km apart, so we quote ten districts separately. It is fairer and it is transparent.

Both the fixed fare and the 15%-off meter

Kowloon does not cross the harbour, so the two are close. We quote both and you choose.

We dispatch against your flight number

Delays are tracked for you. Nobody is rushed, and nobody waits around for nothing.

We know the market streets

Vehicles struggle on Apliu Street, the Ladies' Market and Temple Street, so we agree the nearest main road.

No luggage charge, no limit on pieces

Arriving passengers carry the most luggage, and the statutory $6 a piece is on us.

24 hours, no night surcharge

We are still running after the railway stops — see late-night airport taxi.

There is more on how we work in why choose us, about us, customer reviews and more reviews.

Airport taxi to Kowloon hotels: common questions

Kowloon is a big area, and the price varies by district: Mei Foo about $200; Lai Chi Kok and Cheung Sha Wan about $210; Sham Shui Po and Nam Cheong $215–$225; Prince Edward, Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei $220–$230; Kowloon Tong and Ho Man Tin $230–$240; Hung Hom and To Kwa Wan $230–$240; Kowloon City and Kai Tak $230–$245; Wong Tai Sin and Diamond Hill $240–$250; Kwun Tong, Lam Tin and Kowloon Bay $250–$270. All of them include tunnel tolls, the return toll and luggage. Give us the full hotel name or the district and we can quote accurately.

Because Kowloon is very wide from west to east. The airport is about 27 km from Mei Foo and about 37 km from Kwun Tong — 10 km apart, and at roughly $7 a kilometre under the legal meter that is about $70 in distance alone. One price for all of Kowloon would mean guests in Mei Foo overpaying, and guests in Kwun Tong being turned away or asked for more on arrival. So we quote by district.

Kowloon does not cross the harbour, so the two are quite close. Taking Mong Kok at about 31 km, the meter comes to roughly $257, less 15% is about $218, and the fixed fare is $220–$230 — not much in it. The real difference is against the full metered fare: $257 plus $12 for two bags is about $269, so the fixed fare saves roughly $40–$50. The fixed fare also includes luggage, carries no surcharge for traffic, and is known before you land. We quote both so you can choose.

Western Kowloon (Mei Foo, Lai Chi Kok, Sham Shui Po) about 25–35 minutes; Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei and Prince Edward about 30–40 minutes; Kowloon Tong, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom and To Kwa Wan about 32–45 minutes; Kowloon City, Kai Tak and Wong Tai Sin about 35–45 minutes; Kwun Tong, Lam Tin and Kowloon Bay about 40–50 minutes. Allow extra at peak times and on major event days.

Nothing extra. Kowloon trips never cross a harbour tunnel, so there is no $25 toll and no $25 return toll. The Airport Tunnel, Nam Wan Tunnel and Cheung Tsing Tunnel along the way are all on the Transport Department's list of government road tunnels with no toll, and the Lantau Link has been toll-free since December 2020. Some eastern Kowloon routes use the Kai Tak Tunnel or the Central Kowloon Route, which are also toll-free. That makes Kowloon one of the simplest fare structures in Hong Kong: it reflects distance and nothing else.

Yes, but there are real constraints. Parts of Fa Yuen Street, Tung Choi Street (the Ladies' Market) and Sai Yeung Choi Street South in Mong Kok are pedestrian zones or stall areas; Apliu Street and Pei Ho Street in Sham Shui Po are crowded with stalls and delivery vans, so a vehicle may not reach the door. In practice we set down on the nearest main road — Nathan Road, Lai Chi Kok Road or Cheung Sha Wan Road — a few dozen metres away. We confirm the drop-off point when we send you the registration number.

Yes. On concert nights at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Cheong Wan Road, Chatham Road North and the area around Hung Hom station fill with people and carry temporary traffic arrangements; when there is a major fixture or concert at Kai Tak Sports Park, traffic builds sharply on Prince Edward Road East, Kwun Tong Road and around Kai Tak. If your hotel is nearby and your trip falls on an event day, allow another 20–30 minutes and tell us when you book, and we will arrange a closer set-down point.

There is one — Kowloon station, in the West Kowloon and Jordan area — with in-town check-in and free shuttle buses to selected hotels (routes, frequencies and fares as published by the MTR). But Kowloon station only serves a small slice of West Kowloon. If your hotel is in Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom, Kowloon City or Kwun Tong, you still need an MTR ride or another connection from there, which is no fun with luggage.

Yes, we run 24 hours a day all year round, with no night surcharge. The Airport Express and the MTR have service hours, so red-eye arrivals often cannot use the railway at all. Fixed fares on some routes are slightly higher in the morning peak (generally 05:00–08:00), and we say so clearly when we quote. See late-night airport taxi.

No. Give us the flight number when you book and we dispatch against the actual landing time, tracking delays for you. If the delay is a long one — several hours, say — just send a WhatsApp so we can adjust; there is no rebooking fee.

We agree a specific meeting point in the arrivals hall when we dispatch the car, and give you the registration number. Collect your bags, clear the formalities, then send us a WhatsApp and the driver comes to the agreed spot. Check the registration before boarding so you do not end up in an unlicensed car.

Most Kowloon hotels will hold your luggage before the official check-in time (each hotel sets its own policy). The nice thing about Kowloon is that it is the shopping and food district — Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po, Yau Ma Tei and Kowloon City are right downstairs, with nothing else to travel to. If you would rather do "airport → hotel → attraction" in one go, book a multi-stop trip and we quote one total for the actual route.

Yes. The fixed fare includes luggage, with no limit on pieces. A taxi normally carries 4–5 passengers (depending on the registered seating), so larger groups need a second car. Please mention pushchairs, pet carriers (statutorily $5 per animal), golf bags and oversized items when you book. See taxis for groups and large luggage.

We accept cash, Octopus, Visa/Mastercard, PayMe, FPS and Alipay; please say which you intend to use when booking. Ask the driver if you need a receipt. Corporate clients can settle monthly, which suits meeting clients or visitors off their flights — see corporate transfers.

Other hotel areas, attractions and the departure direction

Statutory information follows the government's published figures. The taxi tariff took effect on 14 July 2024 (red taxi flag-fall $29, then $2.1 per 200 m or minute of waiting, $1.4 once the fare reaches $102.5; green $25.5 / $1.9 / $1.4 above $82.5; blue $24 / $1.9 / $1.6 above $195). Surcharges are $6 per piece of luggage, $5 per animal, $5 per telephone booking, and nothing for wheelchairs and crutches. The Airport Tunnel, Nam Wan Tunnel, Cheung Tsing Tunnel, Kai Tak Tunnel and the Central Kowloon Route (Yau Ma Tei section tunnel) appear on the Transport Department's list of government road tunnels with no toll, and the Lantau Link has been toll-free since December 2020; the taxi toll for the three harbour tunnels is $25, with a further $25 return toll where the passenger did not board at a cross-harbour taxi stand, and the Tai Lam Tunnel taxi toll is $28. The Central Kowloon Route (Yau Ma Tei section) / Central Kowloon Corridor opened on 21 December 2025, about 4.7 km long; the government has said the peak-hour drive from Yau Ma Tei to Kowloon Bay can fall from about 30 minutes to about 5, and the actual arrangements are as published by the government. The airport car park fee is not a statutory taxi charge; around $16 is common in this trade, and we say whether it is included when we quote. Airport Express stations, journey times, fares, frequencies, in-town check-in and free shuttle routes are as published by the MTR; airport bus routes and fares are as published by KMB and Long Win; hotel luggage storage and check-in arrangements are set by each hotel. The meter figures on this page are estimates derived from the statutory tariff and exclude waiting-time increments; fixed fares are indicative, and the price quoted when you book is the one that applies.
