You've landed in Philippines. You're tired. Everyone at the arrivals hall wants to sell you a ride. Here's how each of the main airports actually works — the ride app that works, the fair fare, and the transit option worth taking.

## The rules for Philippines

**Ride apps:** Grab is the safe default — book from inside the terminal, not the curb.

**Cash vs card:** Cash for jeepneys, tricycles and small vendors; cards fine in malls and hotels.

**Golden rule:** never take an unmarked car from someone approaching you inside the terminal. Walk to the official taxi rank or open your ride app.
