# Arriving in Manila: NAIA Taxis, the Dispatch Slip, and the Beep Card > How to get out of NAIA into Manila: the taxi types and the dispatch slip you should keep, Grab, the point-to-point buses and inter-terminal shuttle, the beep card for the trains, and licensed money changers. - Checked against the official source: 2026-11-04 - Official source: [New NAIA Infra Corp, transport options at NAIA](https://newnaia.com.ph/transport) - Web page: https://travelsmarterasia.com/guides/manila-airport-to-city/ - Publisher: Travel Smarter Asia (https://travelsmarterasia.com/about/) - Some links below are affiliate links (the /go/ addresses).

New NAIA Infra Corp (NNIC) now runs the airport's concessions. Before you fly, register in eTravel, as set out in [Philippines entry requirements](https://travelsmarterasia.com/guides/philippines-entry-requirements/), and check [what Philippine customs allows](https://travelsmarterasia.com/guides/philippines-customs-arrivals/). ![Infographic, step 1 of 4. Landing at NAIA? Your ways out of Manila airport: coupon taxi, yellow metered taxi, regular metered taxi, Grab, rent-a-car, UBE Express bus, Genesis bus and the inter-terminal shuttle. Register in eTravel within 72 hours before you land.](https://travelsmarterasia.com/images/manila-airport-to-city-infographic-1.png "Step 1 of 4. Illustration by Travel Smarter Asia.") ## The transport options NNIC lists NNIC's transport page lists these ways out of the airport: - Coupon Taxi. - Yellow Metered Taxi. - Regular Metered Taxi. - Grab Taxi and Grab Airport to Anywhere. - Rent-A-Car. - UBE Express and Genesis point-to-point buses. - Airport Loop Shuttle Bus. - NNIC Shuttle Inter-Terminal Transfer, between terminals. The page does not give fares or pickup points on its main text, and we could not confirm them from another official source, so check the signs and counters on arrival. Booking Grab, or checking a money changer on the BSP verifier, needs data before you leave the terminal. [A Saily eSIM set up at home](https://travelsmarterasia.com/go/saily) is connected when you land at NAIA. Island-hopping afterwards, or flying on to another country? [Add the next country to your Saily profile](https://travelsmarterasia.com/go/saily). ## Keep the dispatch slip NNIC says that for coupon, yellow metered and regular metered taxis, "NAIA personnel will provide passengers using any of the taxi services a dispatch slip that they are to keep, and not hand over to their driver." If something goes wrong on the trip, you call the numbers on that slip. NNIC adds that agency hotlines are available throughout the journey. ![Infographic, step 2 of 4. Keep the dispatch slip, for coupon and metered taxis. 1, airport staff give you a slip for coupon, yellow metered and regular metered taxis. 2, keep it; do not hand it over to the driver. 3, a problem on the trip? Call the numbers printed on the slip. No slip, no record of your taxi, so take one before you get in.](https://travelsmarterasia.com/images/manila-airport-to-city-infographic-2.png "Step 2 of 4. Illustration by Travel Smarter Asia.") ## The beep card for LRT and MRT The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) sells the beep card for "Php 30.00 each plus Php 14.00 minimum load". It is "Accepted at all LRT/MRT Lines 1, 2 & 3 Stations", and you tap it at the entry and exit turnstiles. LRTA also says that "Effective March 23, 2026, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) implemented a 50% across-the-board fare discount" on LRT-2 and MRT-3. Its fare table is published as an image, so we do not repeat the amounts. ![Infographic, step 3 of 4. The beep card for LRT and MRT lines 1, 2 and 3: Php 30 card price, plus Php 14 minimum load. Accepted at all LRT and MRT lines 1, 2 and 3. Tap at the entry and exit turnstiles. 50% fare discount on LRT-2 and MRT-3 since 23 March 2026.](https://travelsmarterasia.com/images/manila-airport-to-city-infographic-3.png "Step 3 of 4. Illustration by Travel Smarter Asia.") ## Changing money The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) keeps an online verifier for "Money Service Businesses", which it describes as "non-bank institutions mainly offering remittance and money changing/foreign exchange dealing". It lists main offices, not every branch. If a counter cannot show it is registered with the BSP, change your money elsewhere. ![Infographic, step 4 of 4. Changing money: use a registered changer. Check it is registered with the Bangko Sentral on the BSP online verifier, listed as a Money Service Business; the verifier lists main offices, not every branch. Not sure? Change your money elsewhere. NAIA hotline: +632 8877 1111.](https://travelsmarterasia.com/images/manila-airport-to-city-infographic-4.png "Step 4 of 4. Illustration by Travel Smarter Asia.") ## What we could not confirm On 4 November 2026 we could not open an official page for the airport taxi flag-down rates, the Grab pickup bays at each terminal, or the national emergency hotline, because the regulators' sites blocked us or did not load. NAIA's own hotline, listed by the Manila International Airport Authority for NNIC, is +632 8877 1111.
