Waiving the Closed Road Permit (CRP) Fees for Cross-boundary Commercial Vehicles

Starting from 30 December 2021 to 29 December 2023, cross-boundary commercial vehicles, including goods vehicles, buses and hire cars, are eligible for a fee waiver of CRP of up to 12 months (i.e. HKD$540 for hire cars or HKD$456 for goods vehicles and buses) when granted a CRP which takes effect during the concession period.

An eligible vehicle is entitled to a fee waiver of a 12-month CRP only once during this concession period – If an applicant has already enjoyed a fee waiver of a 12-month CRP for the vehicle and would like to renew the CRP during the concession period, he/she would not be granted the waiver for a second time.		   Waiving the Closed Road Permit (CRP) Fees for Cross-boundary Commercial Vehicles
