Your driver
Cris Labastida
Owner, lead driver, and the person who answers the phone. Over two decades driving professionally in Metro Manila.
Cris has driven professionally in Metro Manila for over two decades — the version of the city that only shows itself at 6am on EDSA, or on a back route through Santa Ana when Skyway is at a standstill.
He runs CrisMay himself. When you call the number on this site, you reach him. He confirms the trip, quotes the rate, and either drives you or hands you to a driver he vouches for.
“Arrive early, drive to the conditions, and never make the passenger ask twice.”

When Cris cannot drive it himself
On busy days the trip goes to a driver he works with directly and vouches for by name. Rafael is the one guests mention most — named by guests in google reviews for his local knowledge. You are told which driver you are getting before the day, not on the day.
Deliberately not published
Driver's licence number, home address and government IDs are kept off this site. If you need to verify them for a corporate booking, ask to see them in person at pickup.
What guests say about the driving
“We booked an airport pickup and kept him for the entire week.”
Chris is an absolute gentleman — punctual, friendly, and professional with a spotless car. He gave us great local advice and went above and beyond to help with anything we needed. We only booked him for an airport pickup but ended up having him as our personal driver for the entire week.

Thomas T · 6 months ago “He knows the best routes.”
He responded immediately with his availability and a very reasonable price. He was super punctual, correct and told us a lot about what we were seeing in the city. We planned the route and the stops we wanted to make in advance, but his advice was the best. The car was in perfect condition, super clean and fresh. He is a great driver, very safe and experienced in the city, he knows the best routes.

The driver is highly trustworthy, which gave me confidence even when making a down payment. He is very accommodating and patiently guides you through everything you need. He is also a skilled and careful driver, as well as very friendly.

I was with Chris in the north of Manila — very tiny streets, crowded and full of everything. He managed to drive safely to my meeting place. If you need a driver, friendly, polite with a clean car, he is your guy.
