Flat Rate vs Traditional Options
| Option | Pros | Possible drawbacks |
|---|---|---|
| Regular taxi | Easy to find on the street | Waiting time at the border is charged extra; you may be refused if you have a lot of luggage |
| Cross-boundary bus | Fixed schedule, low fare | You can't choose the time; queues can be long during holidays |
| DiDi / mainland ride-hailing apps | Convenient in mainland cities | May not work well in Hong Kong; the app interface takes some getting used to |
| NovaTaxi flat rate | Price confirmed in advance, no hassle, point-to-point | Must be booked in advance |
Shenzhen Bay vs Other Crossings: Which Suits You?
Shenzhen Bay Port is a little different:
- After crossing at Shenzhen Bay you connect directly to western Hong Kong, which is especially handy for residents of Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun
- Compared with Lok Ma Chau, Shenzhen Bay has fewer onward transport options, especially late at night
- If you are heading straight to the western New Territories, or your destination is near the Western Corridor, a flat-rate transfer is far more convenient than the other options

Benefits of Booking a Flat Rate
1. Price fixed in advance
The final price is confirmed when you book, so there are no last-minute increases for traffic at the border, extra luggage or a slightly different route. That's something a regular taxi can't promise.
2. The driver finds you, not the other way round
Once your booking is confirmed, we send you the driver's details in advance. When you arrive, the driver is already waiting at the departure point, so you don't have to drag your luggage around looking for a car.
3. Room for your luggage
Our fleet uses the same type of vehicle and luggage space is planned in advance, so you won't find there's not enough room when you get in.
4. Book 24 hours a day
A red-eye flight late at night? The early hours of a holiday? As long as you book ahead, your car is held for you.
When It Works Best
- Crossing at Shenzhen Bay and heading straight into the city
- Expecting long holiday queues and wanting to avoid the lines for cross-boundary buses
- Lots of luggage and you don't want to change vehicles with bags in hand
- Your schedule is set and you don't want to wait around for a car
