Airport Taxi Service

Can you recommend a taxi car service that will meet me at the airport? After a 16 hr flight arriving around 6:00am, I would like to have a taxi service waiting for us after we get through customs. I don't want to wait on a 20 min or longer taxi line. Nope, I don't want to take a bus. I just want someone to hold up my name and escort us and our baggage into their taxi to our hotel on Hong Kong Island. Please recommend a reliable company that I can pay for in advance.

Thank you

If you want a private taxi service in Hong Kong that meets you directly at the airport after a long flight, bypassing long taxi lines and public transport, there are several reliable options that allow pre-booking and payment in advance. These services typically provide an English-speaking driver, help with luggage, and a meet-and-greet at arrivals with your name displayed.

Here are some recommended options:

  • Klook Airport Transfer: Klook allows you to book a private car in advance from Hong Kong International Airport to any hotel on Hong Kong Island. You can pay online before arrival and receive confirmation with driver details. The driver meets you at the arrivals hall and assists with your luggage.
  • Blacklane: Blacklane offers professional airport pickups in Hong Kong. You can book online, choose vehicle type, and pre-pay. Drivers hold a name sign at arrivals and provide luggage assistance. Blacklane is reliable for early morning flights.
  • HK Airport Shuttle / Limo Services: Companies like Hong Kong Limousine Service or HK Airport Limo provide meet-and-greet service at the airport. You can book a car for specific arrival time, and they specialize in international arrivals with long-haul flight schedules.

Additional tips for booking:

  • Provide your flight number and arrival time to ensure the driver can track delays and adjust pickup time accordingly.
  • Confirm the exact meeting point — usually the arrivals hall near baggage claim. Some services allow you to specify a particular gate or exit.
  • Prepaying ensures no currency exchange hassle and guarantees your car upon arrival, which is especially convenient after a 16-hour flight.
  • If traveling with a lot of luggage or family, request a vehicle with sufficient space (SUV or van options are available with most services).

In summary, booking a private airport transfer via services like Klook, Blacklane, or a professional Hong Kong limo service allows you to skip taxi lines, have a driver waiting upon arrival, and ensures a smooth and comfortable ride to your hotel on Hong Kong Island.
