Diamond Cab vehicles are Toyota Noah Welcabs, which are specially designed for wheelchair accessibility with a mechanic ramp at the back. A maximum of two wheelchair users can be accommodated on a single trip with their two carers. The cabs are regulated by the taxi licensing authority, which stipulates that a maximum of five passengers can be transported on a single trip.

As a pilot operation with five cabs, all routes involving Hong Kong Island and New Territories will have Zone Surcharge because the shift change location is in Kowloon.Booking Service Special Notice

** Diamond Cab incurs a higher operational cost compared to conventional LPG-taxis as we run on gasoline and boarding time is longer for wheelchair users. We are privately-funded, not subsidied by the Government or any other public institutes, and drivers join as independent self-employed individuals. In order to continue our service, we must strive to be self-sustainable. When determining our fare , we take into account factors such as prices of similar service providers and the service quality of our fleet. We begin with five Diamond Cabs as the starting point and if the market responses positively, we would consider the possibility of expanding our fleet to benefit more wheelchair users.
