Lok Ma Chau Border Transfer Guide: How to Skip the Queue for a Car Late at Night
Every holiday, the Lok Ma Chau Control Point is packed. Queuing for a car with your luggage in the early hours is frustrating, as anyone who has done it knows. But more and more people in Hong Kong are finding that if they book a border transfer, the whole trip can be completely different.
Why Book Ahead for a Late-Night Crossing?
The hardest part of crossing late at night isn't the immigration queue. It's finding a car afterwards. Late at night, public transport at the control point has stopped, regular taxis are few, and visitors often compete for them. You think you're done once you've cleared immigration, only to find yourself waiting half an hour or longer in the cold wind. This is exactly when booking a border transfer shows its value.
NovaTaxi Lok Ma Chau Transfers: How It Works
- Book ahead: book via WhatsApp, and tell us the number of passengers, the number of bags and your flight or train
- Driver waits for you: the driver waits outside the departure hall at the control point at the agreed time and confirms the location by phone or SMS
- Flat rate: the price is set when you book and includes luggage and tunnel fees, with nothing added on the spot
- Straight to your destination: point-to-point, with no changing vehicles and no waiting for others
