Manila → Makati: key facts

Makati from Manila Airport (MNL) by private transfer: €30 per car (1–3 people) or €45 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 8 km, roughly 10 min when traffic is light and 10–20 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrival area of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1, 2 or 3), after immigration, baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Check your airline's terminal on the NAIA airline list before you fly. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Makati is Metro Manila's main business district, a grid of office towers, malls and hotels around Ayala Avenue, Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue. It is the closest of the big districts to the airport: from Terminal 3 the drive runs north on Andrews Avenue or the NAIA Expressway towards EDSA and the Magallanes interchange, then up Ayala Avenue. The distance is short, but EDSA is one of the busiest roads in the country, so rush-hour journeys take much longer than the kilometres suggest, especially on Friday evenings and paydays.

Most hotels sit in a compact area: around Greenbelt and Glorietta in the Ayala Center, along Makati Avenue towards Salcedo and Legaspi villages, and in Poblacion, the older quarter north of Kalayaan Avenue known for its bars and restaurants. Ayala Triangle Gardens lies between Ayala Avenue, Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue, and covered walkways link many towers and malls. Hotel driveways and mall drop-off bays are the usual stopping points, as kerbside stopping on Ayala Avenue is restricted.

Public transport instead: UBE Express bus NAIA Terminal 3 - One Ayala Makati from NAIA Terminal 3, Arrival Curbside Bay 12 (Terminal 2: Bay 5) to One Ayala, Makati.
