Manila International Airport

Manila Airport transfer services

There’s a good range of options to get from and to Manila Airport. Taxis charge around 200 pesos to get you to the hotels in the central part of Metro Manila, about 20 minutes’ ride away. Buses and jeepneys are also available to take you almost anywhere in the metropolis. Major hotels often have shuttle services by private car, but at less competitive rates compared with taxis.

The Metro-Rail Transit line is an economic way to travel from and to the airport. The closest station is EDSA-Taft station, some 2 km north of the airport, with a shuttle bus available to get you there. If you’re an independent traveller and want to keep it that way, you’ll find no less than 10 car rental companies’ desks in Terminals 1, 2, and 3. You just need an international driver’s licence or an English-language driver’s licence to get on the roads of the Philippines.
