Of course, paying extra is not for nothing, we'll save the hassle of queuing at customs and also gets us directly to hotel. That would save us quite a lot of time.

But at twice the price of the coach service, I would have to run by my party first. Not as clear cut. If it were 300rmb.... then it is a no brainer.

of course if you can afford, just go ahead.
You cannot compare the ease of hassles with MPV over coach even at more expensive.Have fun on your trip
