#6 Post at 22-1-2010 13:16  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L I read somewhere you can rent your own HK taxi cab for a shift.  You don't need show qualifications except be a HK resident.  If you are good, you can pick up a few fares to take care of the rental charges and petrol costs. It will be just like those guys who rented a taxi for punting purposes in the HK flick, "Men Suddenly in Black".

I have heard of people renting a stationary taxi in a quiet spot though, the driver goes off and does his own thing for a while. Hear Ye!  The Mayor has spoken!

SEAJ sure that's from way up north to way down south ... hard to find a routing that would be longer ... 90% of the population of HK is within range of a $200 trip. unless you go all the way to Stanley of course Hear Ye!  The Mayor has spoken!

But if you're hiring one complete with driver thats a different case. By taking a ride through HK, do you mean HK island or from Lantau to NT, etc.? There are ones that you can 'prebook' and they'll most likely to offer you a 20% discount.
