How much is a private van from Manila to Baguio?

A private van with driver for a Manila to Baguio day trip starts from ₱16,000 per van (confirmed Thursday, 15 October 2026). The price is for the whole van for one group, not per person. Baguio is about 256 km from Makati, roughly four hours each way on clear roads, so a same-day return is a long day. The hours and final total are agreed before you book; overnight trips can be requested and are quoted separately.

A sample day

How a Baguio trip can run.

A same-day Baguio trip is long: roughly eight hours of driving plus your stops. An early start and a short list of places make it work. This is one way a day can run.
