Puerto Princesa → Puerto Princesa City Centre: key facts

A private transfer from Puerto Princesa Airport (PPS) to Puerto Princesa City Centre costs €30 per car for 1–3 passengers and €45 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 3 km; the drive takes about 10 min with clear roads, so plan on 10–20 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits outside the arrivals exit of the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim (and immigration and customs on international flights), holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Puerto Princesa airport sits inside the city, on its eastern side, so the trip to Plaza Cuartel is only about 3 km. The route follows Rizal Avenue, the main street of the city, west from the airport gate past shops, hotels and restaurants to the old core near the bay, where the avenue ends by the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. Traffic is light for most of the day, though the avenue slows down at school and office hours.

The historic centre is compact: Plaza Cuartel, the site of a Second World War garrison and memorial to the 1944 Palawan massacre, stands next to the cathedral, and the Baywalk promenade runs along Puerto Princesa Bay a few hundred metres to the north. The Port of Puerto Princesa, with ferries to Manila and other islands, is close by. Many hotels and guesthouses are spread along Rizal Avenue and the side streets between the airport and the bay, all reachable by car to the door.

Public transport: No scheduled public bus or rail line is published by the airport operator (CAAP) or the city for the trip from the terminal to the city centre.
