The taxi estimate is 265 HK$ according to the Airport website, plus 4 hand luggage and 2 large hold suitcases (6 HK$ each piece), making the taxi total 301 HK$. How big are the taxis? I suspect not enough to carry 6 pieces!
Are the estimates accurate? Should I expect to be paying more?

We arrived around 4pm- me, my wife and 2 year old daughter- last week. We had three medium/large luggage, one big carton box for a toy that my parents gifted their granddaughter and a stroller. We struggled on the way to the airport in a normal Uber so with the box we decided to take the UberXL. From airport to Shatin was HKD400, to TST I think would be slightly cheaper.
By principle, I don't support taxis in HK and would pay a bit more to take an uber.
