Can you get a refund on your Octopus Card deposit at Hong Kong airport?
While in Hong Kong, I'm planning to get an Octopus card to use on public transport to get about the city. As with a lot of these stored value, contactless public transport cards around the world, there's a refundable deposit that you pay when you get the card.
When I come to leave Hong Kong, I'll likely want to use the Octopus card to get to the airport. Once at the airport, the card'll have a little bit of money on it, along with the deposit, less the $9 admin fee for short duration returns.
Is it possible to get a refund of the deposit and un-used balance on an Octopus card at the airport? And if so, where?
Best Answer
Since the Hong Kong MTR connects to the airport on the Express line, there's an MTR office at the airport, before you head to security check / departure. You can get your card refunded there.
