Taxis in Manila are really cheap

What is the average taxi fare from Manila International airport to Malate?

I'd like to get some idea so I won't overpay too much. Thanks.

Taxis in Manila are really cheap - which is why the drivers are reluctant to turn on the meter.

The fare varies because of the exact route and time taken, but a couple of years back a metered trip to malate was around P100. The "official" negotiated price is usually around 4 times that.

But don't forget, we're talking about the difference between $US2 and $US8, so it's not going to empty your bank account. I always figure the first cab ride in any destination is going to be a rip-off. I call it my personal arrival tax, until I figure out the 'real' fares. Don't let it spoil your trip.

>>>>>>> White taxis should be ok. At least most of them but you can't be too sure so if your budget allows, for $10, take the yellow cab. Getting white ones in the city would be fine but I wouldn't recommend it from the airport

>>>>>>>> 150 to 200 pesos. Goon the yellow taxis, they're regulated. When riding other taxis insist on the meter or threaten to call and report them to LTFRB. You canget their hotline number on their website
