Frequently asked questions

How do I get from Manila Airport to Manila City?

The most popular option for traveling between Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila to the capital city of the Philippines is a taxi or booking a car using the ride-hailing app Grab.

Other options for transportation to the Philippines' capital city are commuting and riding jeepneys and trains, but that will involve multiple transfers. For an easier travel experience, you can opt to book an airport transfer to your hotel in Manila City instead.

For other major Philippine airports, such as Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) in Cebu Island province and Clark International Airport (CRK) in Pampanga province, booking an airport transfer is also a hassle-free option aside from riding a taxi or booking a Grab.

Is it possible to book my transfer from Manila Airport to Manila City in advance?

Yes. Although you can do it on arrival, it is better to book your transfer in advance to avoid the long wait for a car booked through the Grab app or the long lines for a taxi. If you want a seamless transfer to the capital, you need to book an airport transfer service in advance.

Where will I meet my driver at the airport or seaport?

Your driver will meet you at the arrival area of the airport, holding a sign with your name or the name of the transfer provider. Specific instructions are usually provided upon booking.

What happens if I can't find my driver?

If you can’t find your driver, you should contact the transfer service immediately using the contact details provided in your booking confirmation.

Can I be dropped off at a different location?

Yes, you can usually request to be dropped off at a different location within the same area, but this should be arranged in advance.

Can I request a stopover during my transfer?

Some services allow stopovers for an additional fee. This should be arranged in advance.

How much do airport or sea transfers cost?

What if my flight or ferry is delayed?
