| - | * Follow the signs in the airport for TAXI. You should only take the Urban taxi (red taxi). Most taxis in Hong Kong only accept HKD cash, so make sure you have enough before you go to the taxi stand. Do not recommend using HKD 1000/500 bills to pay for a taxi, as the driver is not legally required to give you change if you do so. The trick is not to withdraw multiples of 500 from the ATM, so you can always get some 100 or 50 bills out. You do not have to negotiate a price with a taxi driver; ask them to use the meter, as they are legally required to do so. The driver may press the meter for bag fees (HKD 5 each) and toll fees (HKD 50) at the middle or end of the trip; this is normal, so don’t be surprised if your bill increases by 50 or more. The total should be approximately HKD 400, depending on traffic; it may exceed HKD 500. The 4-seat taxi and 5-seat taxi follow the same metered price. If you travel in a large group, you can ask the airport staff to help you find a 5-seat taxi. | + | * Follow the signs in the airport for TAXI. You should only take the Urban taxi (red taxi).

| * Uber is not yet legal in Hong Kong, although Uber Taxi is permitted. However, it is not recommended for airport pickups, as the app directs you to a pickup spot that requires a long walk and may incur an extra fee. If you don’t want to hold HKD cash on the last day when you’re heading to the airport, then using Uber Taxi(with a credit card) might be a wise choice, as the drop-off location is the same as a regular taxi. | * Uber is not yet legal in Hong Kong, although Uber Taxi is permitted.
