Watch out when arriving in Manila International Airport. "Officials" will try to overcharge you for a taxi by calling it for you. Don't fall for it. Go to the YELLOW TAXI STAND near Bay 14 outside arrivals. I found out the Coupon taxis are good too. (See top link below)

The management of the airport should have taken steps to correct this problem which has been going on for a long time now. All the sectors and agency of the Government that is consider responsible for foreign affairs and tourism in the country are not doing their mandated job correctly.

Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago this happened to me. I got into a "regular" taxi, a white one with a meter, but the guy just decided not to turn it on. After about a block, I asked him why he didn't turn on the meter. He then showed me how much it costs to go to Makati, which was 1300 pesos. I told him to pull over, but then he said, "1000?" I got pissed. Why do they feel the need to screw people? It should only cost about 500 - 600.

Sir, the paper or ticket that you got from the window is for you to keep, not to be handed to the taxi driver, it’s for your protection in case the driver cheat you. If you give it to the driver, you have no proof and copy of the plate number. Good thing that driver didn’t cheat you even if you handed it to him. But next time, keep it so the driver won’t dare to cheat you. Another way to protect yourself is to take a picture of the taxi’s plate number ( and if you dare, include the driver’s face), then send it to a friend or family.

That’s true! I was approached if I need a taxi. I asked how much from Terminal 3 to Savoy Hotel. They said 1k pesos. I said no way 1k? Going across the street? They said 500 pesos. I still said no. I went to the yellow metered and it only cost me 200 pesos including tip.

@rainmaker6335 6 ай бұрын

I have no idea why the Philippine government will allow these predatory taxis to operate at the airport for many many years now. Sometimes waiting for a metered taxi at Manila can be OVER an hour wait, depending on the time of day, and day of the week you arrive. Use a Grab.

@cyrlangaming 16 күн бұрын

When getting a taxi white/yellow in Manila, don't ask "How much is going to...." because they can scam you with that, better not to ask question, just go inside and check if the meter is running, if not ask the driver to turn it on unless go find another taxi.

@billyjohnson9166 8 ай бұрын

You go downstairs walk out to the end and take the white taxis. You always ask for meter only getting in the taxi. There half the price as the yellow taxi

Use GRAB. If you don't have a phone/app/internet, there's a grab booth in the airport. Ask them to book you a ride. NEVER use a taxi.

@@jerseyboy1791 the yellow taxis are contracted to the airport, are registered and a safe choice. The white taxis are the ordinary taxis that travel around the metro and may not be safe. The yellow taxis may charge a little bit more and I'm guaranteed to arrive safer at my destination.😀😀😀
