Transportation to Davao City Center from Airport
Francisco Bangoy Intl. Airport
At Francisco Bangoy Airport, taxis are extensively used by the passengers to go to the city center. Those who want to use the public transportation vehicles can prefer the sympathetic Jeepney minibuses, which are specific to the city with stops outside the airport. Car rental companies at the airport, which are open for 24 hours, help those who would like to go to the city with a private car.
Taxi
Picking up passengers from the airport all day and helping them arrive at the city center comfortably, taxis are driven by educated and honest drivers. The drivers are not open to bargaining on the fare tariff, but they answer your question honestly when you ask them how much you are going to pay on average for the city center.
Jeepney
You can go to the city center more economically with the Jeepneys, which emerged as a result of the transformation of the old jeeps and the minibuses into public transportation vehicles in Davao. However, you have to come to the main road, which is so close to the airport that you can reach there in 5 minutes by walking, in order to take the Jeepneys.
Car Rental
If you would like to rent a car, you can head for the offices of Avis or Europcar at the airport. You can rent a car of any brand and model you wish from the car rental companies for a certain while, where documentation procedures are significantly practical. You should be careful not to exceed the time limit of delivery when you are renting the car for a long time. You may have to pay an extra amount to the companies, which are sensitive in this matter.
