Seriously, my brother-in-law is a driver in Angeles so if you need a car and driver I can probably get you a good deal (well at least a not-being-ripped-off deal). He knows all the decent resorts in Luzon have driven to nearly all of them over the years. Give me your maximum travelling time from the airport and I will ask him for suggestions and also get a quote if you want it.

Well, hullexile, that changes everything! Ideally, we'd like to go to Pagudpud, which is pretty far away, and we've read that it would cost around 1000HKD one way, which is a bit too expensive. Would he be free for this and what would his rate be? How long does he estimate it would take? We would be happy to travel with others -- just don't have a means for arranging that. (Arriving Fri. morning, leaving Monday evening from airport.)

Alternatively, we're looking at going to the area near Potipot island / Candelaria or Tambobong. Feel free to p/m me.

Thanks!!!

Hullexile, can you PM me his details as well, can always do with a driver that will not rip us off
