Safety Tips
Look for the yellow-green body color and the white roof with a clearly printed taxi body number, unlicensed cars rarely match this Baguio color scheme.
Meter use is standard. If the driver claims it's broken, politely insist or step out, most Baguio taxis have working meters and drivers expect you to ask for them.
Locals rely on Grab. Book through the app so the route and fare are tracked, at night when street-hail drivers may try to negotiate fixed rates.
For solo night rides, sit in the back, share your Grab trip status with a friend, and note that Session Road and the bus terminals are well-lit pickup points with security guards nearby.
Common Scams to Avoid
Drivers insist the meter is "broken" or refuse to use it for trips from popular tourist spots like Session Road or Mines View Park, then quote a flat fare that is often double the metered rate, politely insist the meter be used or find another cab.
Some taxis leaving bus terminals or the Victory Liner station add a "terminal fee" or "baggage surcharge" that has no official basis, ask for an official receipt and, if the charge seems invented, note the taxi's plate number and threaten to report it to the LTFRB.
A common variant near Wright Park and Burnham is the "long route" scam: drivers take circuitous mountain roads instead of the direct downhill route to the city center, track the route on your phone's map app and speak up if you notice major deviations.
