CEBU: Airport Transfers by Danny Noy's Cebu Taxi Service
If you are traveling in a group of more than 4 people, you will need 2 taxicabs to travel from the airport to your hotel. A taxi in Cebu can only accommodate 4 passengers, excluding the driver. Current cost of a taxi from Mactan International Airport to Cebu City range from 180 pesos to 250 pesos, depending on the time of the day and the amount of traffic you encounter. So you'll most probably spend 500 pesos for 2 taxicabs. Since we're arriving 7:30 PM and do not wish to try finding 2 taxicabs for our group, we decided to spend a little more and hire Danny Noy of Cebu Taxi Service to pick us up.
Before our flight left from Manila, Danny Noy contacted us to give the cellphone number of Mario, the driver who will pick us up. Mario afterwards texted us himself to inform us of the plate number of the car he will use to pick us up. Then, upon landing at Mactan Airport, he texted us again where he is parked (at post no. 15), the car he is using (a Toyota Innova), and the plate number of the car.
Overall, the pickup from the airport was smooth and efficient and we arrived at Radisson Blu 30 minutes after departing from the airport.
OUR RATE FROM THE AIRPORT TO OUR CEBU CITY HOTEL (Radisson Blu):
700 PESOS for pickup of 6 passengers with luggage in a Toyota Innova
We also hired Danny Noy's Cebu Taxi Service to pick us up from the hotel and bring us to the airport. We decided to pass by Mactan Shrine before going to the aiport. Mactan Shrine is near the airport so transportation cost will be cheaper to visit it upon arrival at Mactan airport or prior to departing. More time is saved visiting it after arriving or before departing from Mactan Airport rather than visiting it on another day. Since we arrived at Mactan airport in the evening, we decided to visit Mactan Shrine on the way back from the airport.
Mario picked us up on time and we spent around 30 minutes at Mactan Shrine before proceeding to the airport. Our experience with them was as smooth and efficient as when we were picked up at the airport.
