The yellow metered airport taxis in NAIA were a pleasant surprise. When I arrived from Korea it was late Thursday night so no one was able to fetch me. I was worrying how I was going to get home since I knew airport taxis cost the earth and it’s very difficult to get out of NAIA on foot with very heavy luggage in order to get a cheaper taxi ride out of the airport. Without any more options, Ate Rita and I decided to inquire how much the rate of the yellow airport taxis were. I was used to flate rates by areas from airport taxis in the Domestic and Centennial Airports so I was surprised when the dispatcher told me that the taxis were metered and cost about twice as much as the regular taxis. I asked him to approximate how much from the airport to our place. When he mentioned not more than five hundred pesos I decided to try it out. The computation was P70 flag down rate for the first 500 meters then P4 for every succeeding 300 meters.
If I remember correctly, my total was less than P350 considering that the taxi stopped to refuel and by my count he should have deducted P12 from my bill. Hehehe…It was even cheaper than the flat rate of Basic taxi from our place to the airport which is P400. What was also nice about the airport taxi was that it issued an official receipt in case you need one for reimbursement purposes.
So for my friends abroad who are contemplating of coming home and they have nobody to fetch them, take the yellow metered airport taxis in NAIA. It’s much safer because there is somebody who keeps track of the taxis and the destination of the passengers and it’s cheaper than the airport taxis with flat rates for specific areas.
How much cost using airport taxi from NAIA to Santa Rosa, Laguna?

hi..just wanna ask how much it will cost from NAIA to lucena lines bus station??ill arrive there this june..thanks..hope to hear from you..
hi jeninia. i’m sorry but i really have no idea.
Been there last June and I found that there are new policies there on Taxi’s. There are still choices if you want flat rate, yellow metered, and regular metered taxi’s. But what the heck, several passengers ahead of me were already waiting for more than 2 hours when I arrived at the regular metered terminal. After some inquiries regarding the long wait, I learned that the admin. has this new’ policy’: no regular metered taxi will enter NAIA 3 to fetch arriving passengers if not all yellow metered taxis are able to get passengers. What the …, is this a joke? I thought this is a democratic country where we can choose freely. To ensure that this ‘policy’ is implemented, they closed the exit gate fronting the airport leaving you no choice but to wait for a regualr-metered or ride an expensive yellow-metered taxi. I hope the media man who was complaining about this to the personnel in-charged at that time will be able to escalate this to the proper people or even publicize this through the media. Haay, only in the Philippines ei!
Hello Malignant, ofcourse you can never have the best of both worlds pal… sorry for your dissapointment but you must also understand why they should prioritize the “yellow metered taxis” in the airport terminals.. I know this is because, they are exclusive to customers – to and from the airport.. meaning they can’t just pick someone up from the street and take them to mega mall or somewhere. Also, i guess the “extra” charge is well worth paying for, dont you think? i have seen a lot of these taxis within the metro and i haven’t seen one that is on poor condition… all i’ve seen are taxis that are clean and well maintained – being driven by professional looking drivers… added points to my observation was a pleasant look on their passengers faces.. happy? I guess so because of the condition of their ride. Also, sorry to dissapoint you but if you have been travelling much…you might want reconsider saying “only in the Philippines” because i have been to a lot of countries that are much worse my friend =).
by the way, i am a fan of these taxis…. i dont bother relatives to fetch me at the airport whenever I arrive from my trips – and the hell will i trust the regular metered taxi.. not only that they rip you off because you are balik-bayan or you get stressed from inhaling LPG fume from their aircon vent. Haha.
How much will it cost from NAIA Terminal 3 to Marcelo Green Village, Paranaque? Zip code is 1700. Thanks.
i’m sorry ronald but i really don’t know how much it will cost.
Friends, beware of this metered taxi too. Some of them will try to extort money from u esp if u are a first time passenger. Last year, I hired one and was only billed P170+ to my place in edsa crossing so it was really better compared to the precomputed airport taxi. Sadly, a friend who also lived near me, was billed P600.
Just this month, I again sought their service. Upon arrival to my place, the driver said it was P500. as in flat P500 pesos daw. He arrived on that figure after making some pindot in his peculiar looking meter (dunno kung yun ang bago, coz it’s not d usual one in red LED lights).
Prior to that I saw 180+ numbers that I assumed to be the right amount. I complained and mentioned that that’s not the usual amount I paid kahit p medyo tumaas na ang fare. He just told me to pay with the usual rate I got. Gave him P250, humirit pa so I ended up paying him P300. Plus P100 pa pala sa mga dispatcher nila na talagang nanghingi ng pang meryenda just after loading my 2 piece luggage. No sweat at all!
Grabe talaga! DI naman sila lahat ganun kaya be aware nalang po. Me mga magsasamantala talaga. Kala nila porke galing ka sa biyahe mapera ka
Better ask for an assumption sa clerk nila para me idea ka na.
Yun lang po. FYI lang.
Cheers!

Hi, How much will it cost if I use the airport taxi for around 30km away from NAIA? Thanks..
I had a yellow taxi last when I arrived from HKG and was surprised to pay P786 since the meter counted 54Km from NAIA1 to Timog QC. this distance is only about 20km. Looks these yellow taxi does not charge high rates but fast/uncalibrated meters. I already filed a complain thru txt and call. Hope actions will be done. Plate number is TYN357.
Can u tell me, how much will it cost to take this airport taxis from NAIA to Norzagaray, Bulacan.
How much if i will rent yellow taxi from NAIA to San fernando LA union
For all inquiries regarding the yellow taxi, try to call this hotline 09214487777. I hope this helps.
Ingat po kayo, di lahat ng driver honest. Me and my wife went home last dec 19, took this yellow metered taxi and got stuck in traffic at edsa. To my surprise the bill was less than P400 from Naia to our place in Proj 8. Seven days after, we took the same cab on our way home from our holiday in Laoag Ilocos norte. I noticed the meter was intentionally covered at the portion of total bill (red digits). Yung every 300m counter nya hindi marunong magbilang!! kahit naka hinto sa traffic tumatakbo! Pag dating sa bahay, sabi ng driver P518++ daw. Sabi ng driver imposible daw na hindi abot P500 dun. Tapos nanghingi ako ng resibo, wala daw sya receipt paper naubos. May nairecord ako na kuha mismo ng metro nya na hindi marunong magbilang kaya lang medyo malikot. Nag file ako ng complaint sa number sa resibo. Sana may mangyari..Di ko na matandaan plate # pero parang TYN 357 din, nissan sentra.
ang airport taxi ba ay pwedeng magsakay sa ibang lugar? i mean exclusive lang ba sila sa for airport purposes? kasi i was surprised nung sumakay kami from pranaque to makati costs P200, kasi dapat kung pang airport lang dapat hindi na sila magsasakay or i-explain nila sa customer na airport taxi sila at double ang rate compared sa regular taxi, kasi paano kung ang makasakay sa kanila is hindi aware sa policy na yan! i was disgusted and very disappointed
ang alam ko po di sila pwede magsakay sa ibang lugar kaya nga po double po ang rate nila kasi parang binabayaran mo na din po yung pagbalik nila sa airport.
safe po ba talaga ang pagbiyahe gamit ang inyong Airport Taxi?makakasiguro din po ba kaming mga balik bayan sa sa tamang serbisyo at walang masamang mangyayari sa amin?
Can u tell me, how much will it cost to take this airport taxis from NAIA to SM Fairview or Tungko?
it is supposed to be safe kasi nakadocument yung pag-alis ng taxi sa airport but from the comments i have received meron pa ding mga nagtatake advantage na drivers. by the way, di ko po airport taxi yun. nakasakay lang po ako minsan. you can try this number to check how much it will cost from the airport to your place 09214487777. have a safe trip.
sana wag naman po ganun na nagtatake advantage sila kasi kung anu ung dala naming pera ay pinaghihirapan namin sa bansang pinuntahan namin alam naman natin na hindi naman pinupolot ang pera sa ibang bansa pawis at pagtitiis ang ginawa namin para lang kumita ng ganun.
Ask ko lang po kung pano kukuha ng yellow metered taxi paglabas ng airport. Mayroon po bang malapit na office dahil may dalang bagahe, hindi po ba mahihirapan ang balikbayan na kung wala siyang sundo? Pano ho, please explain ang process.
Tnx
esmer, ang alam ko is paglabas mo ng airport may designated area na kung saan sila nakapila. sa naalala ko, pipila ka lang kasi merong naglilista kung saan ka pupunta at nung driver and plate number nung taxi na sasakyan mo.

I just want to know if there are five seaters taxis from NAIA,
i don’t know specifically about five seater taxis in naia but i know that there are taxis for rent that can accommodate more people than ordinary taxis. these are more expensive, however, and i believe that they have flat rates depending on the area you’re going.
i got another number off the back windshield of a yellow taxi. i hope this will help you all. the number is (02) 853-0775.

Hi,
Sinundo ko po yong kaklase ko last march 31 sa terminal 3. Sumakay po kami sa yellow metered taxi papuntang Buendia, LRT station. Nang nasa buendia na kami, siningil kami ng 895 pesos.. Tinuro nya sa amin is yung nakared na light sa metro which is 8.95. Kilometer yan di ba?.. Hiningi ko sa kanya yung slip na binibigay ng dispatcher, hindi nya binigay sa akin.. Bigla na lang sya umalis.. Yung plate # po TYT351.. Nagsend na po ako ng email sa naia pero hanggang ngayon wala pong reply.. Everytime na umuuwi ako ng iloilo, pagbalik ko yan yung sinasakyan ko papuntang kalayaan, makati at yung rate lang 200 plus lang.. Kaya laking gulat ko nang siningil kami ng ganyan kalaki na yung distance parang the same lang..
Yung number po ba pwede kaming magcomplaint dyan?..
The truth is, the yellow airport taxi company is a monopoly. yes, it has its share of praises and advantages as well as the bad rap.
The thing is, it is a monopoly and someone is making a lot of money because it is so. Who own’s this company? Or these companies?(the cabs display different names).
I won’t be surprised if the listed owners will somehow be linked to a Cusi or a Lina. Or maybe not linked at all since it may be a dummy corporation but actually owned by one of these two or both of them.
Passangers should be given the choice on what kind of public transportation to take out of the airport and not be subjected to these yellow cabs or fixed-rate vans that charge exorbitant rates.
madalas po ako sumakay ng airport yellow taxi beware po bago po sumakay i pa flag down nyo po ang metro dahil metered taxi po sya, kadalasan po kasi kontrata na po kalalabasan pag di po pumatak ang metro wag na wag po kayo papayag, marami po mapagsamantala na driver at marami din po mababait, bago po kayo umalis ng airport sabihin nyo sa taxi saan kayo at buksan ang metro kung ayaw bumababa po kayo kunin ang plate number at ibigay po sa gwardya at pulis na malapit po sa paradahan ng taxi, o di naman po kaya kunin po ang LTFRB hotline sa tabi ng cab at txt nyo po plate number ng taxi, sumakay po kayo sa paradahan ng yellow na taxi wag po sa mga nag tatawag na tao sa airport, ingat po
by the way wag din po kayo papayag na tatawag ang driver sa operator nya kuno at tatanungin ang city rate mudos po nila to, metered taxi po ang sinanakyan nyo di po kontrata wag po kayo papayag, sabihin nyo ihinto ang sasakyan at balik po kayo sa airport kung ayaw gamitin ang metro, ingat po sa pag byahi.

hi rhodel. ang alam ko P70 pa rin ang flag down for the first 500 meters and P4 every 300 meters thereafter. i’m sorry pero di ko alam pano sya icompute so di ko masasabi kung magkano ang fare from centennial to your place.
Bobo naman nung iba dito.
Sinabi na nga nung admin na hindi nya alam yung rates, tanong pa kayo ng tanong.
Driver ba sa yellow taxi yung admin?
Mga tanga. Magresearch kayo mag-isa nyo!
Rode an yellow metered taxi from NAIA I last week.
to Sta Mesa paid 902 pesos. Overpriced! The meter was not displaying the accumulating fare on the trip. At the end I was asked to pay 902. Maybe it was an amount retrieved from the memory for previous passenger’s fare. When I insisted on the receipt, it was so small I had a hard time reading and with the use of magnifying glass, I found out that it was just a summary of the day’s fare income. I WILL NEVER USED THIS CROOKED YELLOW METERED TAXIS AGAIn !!
