All about Uber Hong Kong. Uber taxi in Hong Kong is the best way to get around
The key thing is that uber is much cheaper than street taxis.
In the article, I judge based on my experience, about 250 Uber rides over the past year.
The mobile app is suitable for a regular Uber. There is no regional reference.
Payment options:
-Hong Kong Dollars in cash. You can call a regular taxi via Uber with cash payment (the old grandfather will arrive in a Toyota).
– call any car, the amount of the trip will be debited by bank transfer (AlipayHK, bank card)
Types of cars
– regular taxi (cash option is available)
– Any random car can arrive at Uber Comfort. In my opinion, the fare is absolutely no different from Uber X.
– Uber X usually comes with a Telsa Model 3, but also can arrive dirty old Honda.
– Uber XL – minivan with 6 seats. Toyota Alphard, Tesla Model X, or minivan taxi
– Uber XXL – minivan with 6 seats. But already with a guarantee of 6 seats. Otherwise, 6 passengers can’t always get on an Uber XL.
– Uber Black is a premium car. As a rule, the Telsa Model 3 arrives fresher, rarely something better.
– Uber Pet for rides with pets
– Uber Assist
Recently, a subscription appeared – Uber One for 88 HKD per month. The first month is free.
Meaning – cashback is given from trips. But the subscription only pays for 10 trips per month.
Unfortunately, Uber prepaid cards are not supported in Hong Kong. It would be very convenient.
If you haven’t used the app for 2-3 weeks, discount packages of up to HKD 50 will drop into your account in the Wallet – Promotions section.
That’s why I have 3 Uber accounts! Significant savings are obtained.
I also set up in one account for money to be debited from a Mastercard card linked to another Uber account.
When calling Uber, you should pay special attention to the location – the place of landing. Because the car will not arrive anywhere.
And to do this, you need to navigate at least a little.
Which can be quite difficult for tourists.
