Suggest you take the Airport Express to Kowloon not Central and a taxi to the hotel....about 30HKD or 3-4 USD. A taxi from the airport to the Sheraton(Kowloon) about 320HKD or 40USD.

You could try this new thing called the internet. They have loads of neat stuff and sometimes even good information there. How about this: hong kong limo service - Google Search

The easiest way to make the reservation with Park Lane limo is to email the HKG ramp and let them know that you are deviating and advise them of your inbound flight and arrival time. Email the ramp at: [email protected]
By the way, if you arrive at the hotel after your schedule arrival time, you are fine....but if you arrive early at the hotel, you need to make a hotel reservation and you will have to pay with the company credit card. The rate will be higher that the approved hotel rate and it will cost you about 60$(us) out of pocket per night.

If you agree to pay the higher rate - the company WILL NOT reimburse you for the extra (above contract rate) - no matter how much extra you have in your deviation bank.
The max the company will cover is up to the contract rate for "the city associated with the revenue portion of the trip"
Anything over that is on you.

Most times if/when you check in early, they will make you sign a little card when you check in agreeing to pay the higher rate. DO NOT sign this unless you are willing to pay the extra out of pocket. This is the time to negotiate the rate back down to the FedEx contract rate. (this applies to Sheraton HKG - not sure the other hotel's procedure on this)
