Sure. And I presume even those are "negotiable", as everything in China is.

The company regustration Fees are not, but the car registration: "yes"

These money does goes into someone's pocket....

Enjoy!

Just to clarify and I don't think I'm mistaken, the express lane is for car + driver only with no passengers. You queue in a different line if you stay in the car.

If there are not many at the border crossing, it is quicker to get out of the car and meet up at the other side after walking thru immigration.

Each Area Government have a different set of rules and Fees to register a car.

To register a HK car in China for a China license plate is about RMB 20,000 or so. Only companies with some minimum investment (I think US$1mio) can apply those license plate.

Waiting time for 'on foot' people can be quite long at times at the Huanggang crossing. China side is usually no problem, HK can be slow....

Shanghai you need to register a company and the minimum is US$140,000, By registering a Company, you get one Free Car registration.

In Bejing, the minimum to Register a Company is US$50,000. The Car Reg. is RMB15,000

Not too sure about Guangzhou (Dongguan is under Guangzhou Area Office).

I was told that the reg process cost about $40K USD or some exhorbitant amount. That is why you never see that there is a lot of cars/vehicles going through those express lines.

[QUOTE=Bnlee2]the minivan and the driver must be register with immigration if the passenger remains in the vehicle. if the vehicle and driver is not REGISTER then all passenger must get out of the vehicle and go through the madness of immigrations.

Hi Go Joe,

Looking at the time you arrive in HK airport, you'll have missed the ferry to Humen. I am not sure about the mini-van service which CebuLocal pointed out cos I haven't tried it before. I suppose minivan should not be a hassle as you don't have to get off at the immigration when entering Shenzhen.

Alternative:
There is a bus service, which runs from HK airport to different towns in Dongguan. Name of the bus service is GoGo Bus. There is a ticket counter at the arrival hall in HK airport. Cost ard HKD200 to specific towns in Dongguan. The bus will go thru HuangGang entry point in Shenzhen, where you'll have to get off the bus and go through immigration yourself (a hassle if you have several luggages to carry). The bus will stop in ChangAn, where you'll be transferred to a van and ferried on to your preferred destination, for eg. HouJie or Humen or DG city. Travelling time from HK airport to HouJie would be about 2 and half hours to 3 hours, depending on how fast you get through immigration (1 hour from HK airport to border, half hour for crossing immigration checkpoint, 1 hour from border checkpoint to Dongguan).

Sorry I forgot to point out I got a Travel Agents discount, It is closer to about 150HKD,Thanks Ricky

Cebu, do you know the non-discounted rate? Or is there a way that we can get a travel agent discounted rate? Thanks.

[Cebu Local]

Cebu, are you sure that the Mini Van ride costs about HK$100? The bus ride from HKIA to SZ already costs at least HK$130.

Take the Mini Van Travel services being offered by the different Transport companies in the Arrival Hall.Dongguan is about 100 HKD.

[Rickyeoh99]

Agreed with OAH that prettier does not mean better service and/or more GFE feelings. In fact, its more a norm that prettier gals give lousy service or none at all. They may have attitude problem too.

OTE,

Ricky has made a very good point. The service level varies immensely. The mummy will generally tell you which girls are the best at it. I noticed that the better the looking, the less skilled at the ropes.

[Cebu Local]

There are several direct buses from the Gongbei and Xiangzhou bus stations. I think cost is 60-65 RMB and takes about 2 hours.

Actually It takes about two and a half hours and costs 60RMB
