Bus and minibus hire in Hong Kong: drivers, rules and how to order

Updated 5 November 2026

We have no confirmed hire price for a bus or minibus in Hong Kong for November 2026, so this article cannot give a range. Hire is quoted per trip or per period, and the price depends on the vehicle, the route, the dates and whether a driver is included. The quickest way to current offers is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the price depends on

Quotes are usually made per job, so describe the whole trip in one request. The main factors are the number of seats, the vehicle type, the comfort level, the trip's date and duration, the route, the purpose of the trip, and whether a driver is included.

• Number of seats and the vehicle type, bus or minibus
• Duration in hours or days, and the dates
• Route with stops, and the purpose of the trip, for example a group tour or staff transport
• With or without a driver, and the comfort level you expect

Drivers and the licence

If the hire includes a driver, check that the driver holds the right licence. A commercial bus driving course lists the minimum age as 21, and the Transport Department test form costs HK$510 and the learner's driving licence HK$548 in one course's list of charges. The fee for the pre-service course for public light bus, public bus or taxi drivers is capped at HK$1,500. Fees change, so check the current amounts before you book.

Public minibuses and private hire

Green minibuses run on fixed routes at fixed fares, so a private hire for a group trip is a different service. Say clearly in the request whether you want a vehicle with a driver for a trip, a vehicle only, or a monthly rent for regular use.

Season and trip timing

Hong Kong has a winter from December to February and a summer from June to August. Summer days are hot, so comfort and air-conditioning matter most from June to August, and you should ask the seller to confirm the vehicle has them. November and December are cooler months for trips around the city, and the year-end holidays fill up early, so ask for offers well ahead of the date you need.

Pick-up and routes between districts

Pick-up and drop-off can be arranged between Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun, which are spread across the territory. Give the full route, the time you need to be at each stop and the total hours. If the route goes beyond your district, say so, because the seller needs to know the distance to quote the trip correctly.

To get offers through BlaBlaPrice, describe the trip in your own words in the chat: the number of passengers, the vehicle you need, the dates, the duration, the route and whether you need a driver. It is free for buyers. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and answer in the chat with their offer, terms and conditions. Your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them. Start from the request field on the home page, read how BlaBlaPrice works, or look at vehicle and heavy equipment hire.
