About Us
Private van transport in Puerto Princesa, built for a smoother trip
For around 2 years, Van Hire Palawan has helped incoming tourists and foreign visitors book private van transport around Puerto Princesa, airport transfers, and Puerto Princesa to El Nido private transfers. We focus on clear pricing, flexible schedules, and a smooth pickup process from start to finish.
Our drivers are fully licensed and have the required airport access permits for Puerto Princesa International Airport, so we can legally pick you up inside the airport arrivals area and assist with luggage. You avoid the common problem of being asked to walk out with bags because an operator does not have the right permit.
