Airports in the Philippines don’t have waiting lounges. You’re going to have to go straight outside to find a taxi. Leave the arrivals, go to departures and find the taxis. Check the lettered columns and select one if you need to meet friends somewhere. If you want a quicker ride than a taxi, try a motorcycle.

Once you get through the airport, it’s important to avoid getting ripped off by your taxi driver. Here’s a few tips…
1. Get a taxi in the ‘departures’ area of the airport
In most international airports the ‘arrivals’ pickup area is filled with scammers and bad taxi drivers. They’ve got a continual stream of desperate travelers asking them for rates so they know they can typically quote an insanely high price and still get a passenger.
The departures area is different. These taxi drivers are just dropping off their riders at the airport and are happy to get anyone into their taxi for the drive back into town. Because of this, prices will be lower and you’re less likely to find someone trying to drain your wallet of all that foreign currency you just filled it with.
2. Know where you are going before getting in the cab
If you don’t know where you are going it’s all too easy for you taxi driver to rip you off. They can drive you around in circles, tell you there is traffic on the main route, or even drive you to the other side of town!
Don’t give them this opportunity. If possible, keep your destination up on Google maps and watch to make sure the taxi follows the right route. If your taxi driver sees that you have a map, he’ll be less likely to drive you in circles.
3. Don’t put your bag in the trunk
It happens all the time. An unknowing tourist puts their bag in the back of an unknown cab and their driver hits the gas before they hop in the passengers seat. Their bag is gone, they have no idea where it’s headed, and the police won’t help at all!
Keep in mind, the things in your bag may be worth more than your driver will earn in a year or two! Don’t tempt them into an early ‘bonus’. Losing your luggage and passport on arrival to a new country is a great way to ruin your vacation.
