In fact if you book hotel room ask the hotel to arrange taxi, if they can.
worse case the advance booked driver may get to you for NLEX toll (200 peso Balintawak to Dau) plus 50 peso for airport parking. (About less than 8 SGD). Than suddenly being shocked with few thousand by the unscrupulous taxis.
at the time you arrive, the airport taxi will most likely vanish and every few minute somebody will offer private charter. Price ? Normal taxi T2 to Pasay about 200 peso, charter - not less than 3,000, and few have been forced to pay on top of negotiated price. All happens under the watchful eye of airport authority.
For that matter, if I book advance agency pickup airport to Makati, fixed charge with driver holding my name, it is 1,000 = no extra charge, peace of mind and safety. And still so much cheaper than the 3k quoted by the airport mafia.
If arriving midnight and with too many baggage the 1k sometime is worth for me. Day time you can always queue for regular taxi - my record - 2.5 hours to get regular taxi. I patiently waited while every few minute I was taunted by the private charter cars, saying "today no taxi... " "all taxi stuck in Jam. ."
I know some travel agency in AC but I am sure it will be more than 2,800. More like 3,300 to 3,500 plus
Try the path recommended by regulars to AC. I am very irregular to AC.
