NAIA Provincial Coupon Taxi Rates for Luzon Destinations

By continuing to read this article, you agree to double-check with the concerned establishments for the latest updates.

The Ninoy Aquino International Airport is the key gateway to the Philippines, most especially the National Capital Region and its surrounding provinces. While some hop on the next flight bound for distant provinces in Luzon, others choose to travel by land.

The most reasonable and economical way to do so is to take the provincial buses from specific terminals and stations within Metro Manila. From the airport, one can grab a taxi, take a point-to-point (P2P) bus, or book a ride from a ride-hailing service. By the way, if your destination is Clark in Pampanga or Santa Rosa in Laguna, you can find direct P2P bus services at NAIA. If you’re gunning for comfort and more control over your trip, some Grab drivers accept passengers heading to some towns or cities of nearby provinces such as Laguna and Rizal.

But before point-to-point buses and ride-hailing services came into the scene, taxis were the most reliable transportation out of Manila airport, save for personal pick-ups from friends and family. While metered taxis are also available at the airport, travelers bound for other Luzon destinations often take coupon taxis instead. This is because metered taxis rarely take trips outside Metro Manila.

Here are the fixed rates prescribed by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) for any NAIA provincial coupon taxi bound for Luzon destinations as of 2023.

Reminders

Coupon taxi routes cover provinces in regions of Luzon that can be reached by land travel from Manila airport: Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Ilocos Region (Region I), Cagayan Valley (Region II, except Batanes), Central Luzon (Region III), Calabarzon (Region IV-A), and finally, Bicol Region (Region V, except Catanduanes, Masbate, and Sorsogon).
The LTFRB is responsible for managing the legalities of public land transportation services. Their jurisdiction covers taxis! The rates indicated here are prescribed by the LTFRB as of 2023. Rates are posted at the designated coupon taxi lane at the airport.
A dispatch coupon/slip will be handed to you at the booth. It contains the following details: the taxi’s plate number, safety reminders, and important contact numbers. Keep it!
Tipping the driver is not mandatory. Some drivers may ask for an additional fee or a tip, but it’s really up to you.
The coupon taxi lane is found near the arrival gates of each NAIA terminal. For Terminals 1 and 4, you can easily spot them at the arrival exit. For Terminal 2, the lane is located near Bay 11, while it is across Bay 6 for Terminal 3.
For foreign visitors, you may want to consider grabbing a local SIM Card or an eSIM or renting a pocket WiFi unit before you leave the Manila airport premises! Safe, secure, and reliable free WiFi is sparse in the Philippines, so it’s best to have your own private connection. Reserve a SIM card, an eSIM, or a pocket WiFi unit and pick it up at NAIA before embarking on your Luzon adventure.
