The price of car and driver to Subic for 12 hours sounds good. Under normal conditions, it is also safe. But travel time from Manila to Subic is about 4 hours (+4 hours return). Do you think you can really enjoy this travel?

Maybe you should also clarify if fuel, toll fees and driver's meals are included in the contract price.

generally, daytime travel time to subic from Balintawak - the entrance to the NLEX (North Luzon Expressway) - is approx 1 hour 45 min. It is the travel within Metro Manila to NLEX that can slow you down. If you want to avoid the traffic jam, be at Balintawak before 7 am

have a hotel personnel (doorman, guard) note down the plate number of the car before you depart from your hotel. that should deter the driver from misbehaving

Hi,

Thank you, I was planning on leaving at 530am or something to avoid the traffic, Ocean Park opens at 9am...

Good idea about the number plate.

Can anyone recommend a cheap safe hotel? Just want basic not 5 star.

ALso, what is the weather like end of November?
