![How much does a Manila airport transfer cost.jpg](https://devcms.hoppa.com/uploads/How_much_does_a_Manila_airport_transfer_cost_345a0e245a.jpg)

A **private transfer** from **NAIA to Makati** or **Bonifacio Global City (BGC)** in **Taguig** typically costs between **₱800 and ₱1,500 (£10.04 \- £18.83)** depending on the vehicle size and time of day. While this is higher than a standard metered taxi, it includes the peace of mind of a fixed price that covers tolls and waiting time, protecting you from *"surge pricing"* or circuitous routes.

### Have a look at this estimated fare comparison table (including tolls)

How much does a Manila airport transfer cost?

***Please note:** Prices are subject to change depending on your specific requirements and travel details. Conversions are based on an exchange rate of approximately **1 PHP \= 0.01255 GBP as of writing**. Taxi rates for longer distances, like Angeles or Tagaytay are often subject to negotiation or fixed "out-of-town" surcharges for local taxis.*

*Distance and time estimates are based on journeys from NAIA Terminal 3\. Travel times can double during heavy rain or peak rush hour (07:00–10:00 and 17:00–21:00).*

The **best and most reliable way** to get from Manila Airport (NAIA) to central Manila is **pre-booked private transfers**. Most international travellers prefer the security and door-to-door convenience of a private car or van.

There are, however, options such as ride-hailing apps like Grab and local airport taxis if you did not book in advance. While public transport, such as the UBE Express bus or local jeepneys, is available for those on a strict budget.

### Choose the right ride for your needs:

* **Choose private transfers if:** You are travelling as a family with a lot of luggage, a couple, solo travellers, large groups, or business travellers who want a guaranteed pickup with a driver waiting at the arrivals area. Land and get in your airport transfer headache-free.

* **Book a Grab car if:** You are not in a rush. Grab is a popular app-based choice in the Philippines, though wait times can be long during peak hours, and a data connection is required upon landing.

* **Choose yellow airport taxis if:** You do not want to book in advance, nor download an app. These are metered and regulated by the airport, though you may encounter long lines during the afternoon and evening rush.

* **Choose airport shuttle buses if:** You are on a budget, and not in a rush. The **UBE Express** offers scheduled trips to major hotel hubs such as **Makati**, **Entertainment City (E-City)** in **Parañaque**, and **Roxas Boulevard**.

![Where to meet your driver at the NAIA terminals.jpg](https://devcms.hoppa.com/uploads/Where_to_meet_your_driver_at_the_NAIA_terminals_60286fda87.jpg)

Finding your driver at a busy airport like NAIA is often the biggest worry for travellers. To make it as easy as possible, we use specific meeting points at each terminal.

* _**Terminal 1**_: Following a major update in 2025, private vehicles now use the main arrival curbside. Proceed to the arrival hall exit and look for the bay indicated on your e-ticket confirmation. Hotel and pre-booked private transfers often wait at **Bays A13 and A14**.
* _**Terminal 2**_: After clearing customs, international passengers should head to **Bays 17–18**, while those on domestic flights should meet their driver at **Bay 7**.
* _**Terminal 3**_: For international arrivals, please proceed to **Gate 5**. If you are arriving on a domestic flight, your driver will be waiting at **Gate 3**.
* _**Terminal 4**_: Since this is a smaller terminal with only one main exit, your driver will meet you directly at the **arrival hall curbside** with a name sign.
