A first-timer’s guide to obtaining a Hong Kong driver’s license for private cars

With a driver’s license for private cars, you are free to traverse through Hong Kong at your own convenience. Depending on the types of vehicles you are planning to drive in Hong Kong, the application requirements for a driver’s license can vary greatly.

Here, the application is divided into two major categories: non-commercial and commercial cars. Non-commercial cars include private cars, light goods vehicles, and motorcycles. Commercial cars, on the other hand, involve vehicles driven for the purpose of transporting goods and passengers. Trucks and taxis are examples of commercial cars.
