Lakbaya Van Rentals
Van Rental With Official Receipt for Company Reimbursement in the Philippines
Direct answer
Here is the straight answer, because this is the only thing you came here to find out. After your trip, Lakbaya can issue a Service Invoice under the owner’s registered IT Services BIR registration, which is non-VAT. That is a real BIR-registered document, not a screenshot of a chat thread and not a handwritten note from a driver. Message Gracey at 0977 725 7308 and ask for the invoice at booking time so it is prepared with the correct company details.

What document you actually get after a Lakbaya van rental
The Service Invoice carries the registration details your accounting team will look for when they check whether the expense can be filed. We will also say the part most van operators skip: a Lakbaya-branded BIR receipt is currently in process and is not yet available, so the document you receive today will show the IT Services registration rather than the Lakbaya trade name. We state this upfront rather than promising paperwork we cannot produce. If your company policy requires the official receipt to carry the exact trading name of the transport provider, tell us before you confirm the booking and we will tell you plainly whether we can meet that policy today. If your policy accepts a BIR-registered Service Invoice from the service provider, you are covered. Ask for the invoice at booking time so it is prepared with the correct company name, address, and TIN rather than reconstructed after the fact.
Why van rentals usually fail a company reimbursement claim
Most van hires in Metro Manila and Rizal are arranged informally: a number passed around a group chat, a quote given verbally, cash handed to the driver at the end of the day. It works right up until the employee who fronted the money tries to file it. Then the problems appear in a predictable order. There is no document at all, only a chat log. Or there is a document, but it is not BIR-registered, so accounting will not accept it as an official receipt. Or the amount on the paper does not match what was actually paid, because fuel and toll were settled separately in cash along the way. Or the paper names a person, not a business. Lakbaya is built the other way around: the quote is all-in, payment is accepted by card or cash end to end, and the Service Invoice reflects the same total you agreed to. One trip, one agreed amount, one document. That is what makes it survivable at liquidation, and it is why corporate admins on our corporate van shuttle service in Makati, BGC, and Ortigas are the people who book us most often.
What your accounting team should know about a non-VAT Service Invoice
Give this section to whoever approves your liquidation, because it answers their questions before they ask. The document is a Service Invoice, issued under a BIR-registered IT Services registration that is non-VAT. Non-VAT means exactly what it says: there is no VAT line on the invoice, so there is no input VAT for your company to claim against it. The gross amount on the invoice is the amount paid, with nothing broken out as a tax component. If your company withholds tax on services, your accounting team should apply its normal treatment for a non-VAT service provider and tell us before the trip so the paperwork is handled correctly on both sides. Send us the exact registered company name, business address, and TIN you want on the invoice at the time you book: those three fields are what get invoices rejected when they are wrong. To be explicit about what we do not claim: Lakbaya does not hold a PCAB license or an LTFRB franchise on file, and we will not represent otherwise. If your procurement process specifically requires either of those, we are not the right supplier, and it is better for both of us that you know that now.
All-in pricing so the invoice total matches the approved amount
Company reimbursement gets messy when the final number does not match the number that was approved. That usually happens because a rental was quoted as a base rate and then fuel and tolls were collected separately in cash during the trip, none of which produce documentation anyone kept. Lakbaya quotes all-in: the van, the driver, fuel, and tolls are inside one figure agreed before departure, the same structure behind our van rental in Metro Manila with driver. The amount you present for approval is the amount you pay and the amount that appears on the Service Invoice. Payment works end to end without cash if you need it to, because the driver carries a card terminal, which means an employee does not have to front thousands of pesos. Cash is accepted too if that is what your office prefers. Quotes are through direct inquiry, since route, hours, and van count set the number. Message or call Gracey at 0977 725 7308 with your date, pickup point, destination, and headcount and you will get a firm all-in figure you can take to your approver.
The van, the seat count, and the trip types you can book with documentation
The vehicle is a Toyota Hiace rental with driver in Manila, the Commuter Decontent 2026 seating 14 passengers, part of the Toyota Hiace Commuter van rental Philippines class. Fifteen or sixteen is possible with a fabricated seat, though comfort drops at that point, especially on a long provincial run. For 17 people or more we split the group across multiple vans rather than overloading one. Four booking shapes are available, and every one of them can be documented the same way. Full-day rental runs on a 10-hour window and suits corporate outings, team-building days, and site visits. Hatid-sundo one-way within Metro Manila and Rizal is charged at half rate, which is what most airport transfers and single-leg executive runs use. Van and driver only is a flat daily arrangement where your company pays fuel and toll directly, which some finance teams prefer. Multi-van bookings let us broker several vans for a large group and settle everything through a single balance payment, so your accounting team handles one transaction instead of chasing five drivers.
Where we operate and how to book with the invoice arranged upfront
Metro Manila and Rizal are our primary coverage area, which includes the Makati, BGC, and Ortigas business districts where most corporate pickups start, and NAIA for arrivals and departures. Beyond that we run to Baguio, Tagaytay, Batangas, Pampanga, La Union, and other provincial Luzon destinations. Hatid-sundo half rate applies inside Metro Manila and Rizal; a one-way trip outside that zone is billed as a full day. Booking takes one message. Contact Gracey at 0977 725 7308 by call, SMS, Viber, or WhatsApp and send four things: the date, the pickup point and destination, the number of passengers, and your pickup time. Then add the fifth thing that makes this page relevant to you: say that you need a Service Invoice for company reimbursement, and send the registered company name, business address, and TIN in the same message. Details in at booking time mean an official receipt that clears on the first submission. Our office is behind the van rental with driver in Antipolo, Rizal, and walk-ins are welcome by appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Can you issue an official receipt I can use for company reimbursement?
Yes. Lakbaya can issue a Service Invoice under the owner's registered IT Services BIR registration, which is non-VAT. It is a BIR-registered document intended for exactly this purpose. A Lakbaya-branded BIR receipt is still in process and not yet available, so the document will show the IT Services registration rather than the Lakbaya trade name. If your company policy requires the receipt to carry the transport provider's trade name, tell us before you confirm the booking.
Is the Service Invoice VAT or non-VAT, and can we claim input VAT?
The registration is non-VAT, so the Service Invoice carries no VAT line and there is no input VAT to claim against it. The gross amount shown is the amount paid, with no tax component broken out. If your company withholds tax on services from non-VAT providers, apply your standard treatment and let us know before the trip. Send the registered company name, business address, and TIN when you book.
Can our company pay by card instead of having an employee front the cash?
Yes. Card and cash are both accepted end to end, and the driver carries a card terminal, so payment can be completed on the day of the trip without an employee advancing money. Because Lakbaya quotes all-in (van, driver, fuel, and tolls in one figure), there are no separate cash handovers for fuel or toll during the trip. The amount paid is the amount on the Service Invoice.
We need several vans for a company event. Can that go on one invoice?
Yes. Multi-van bookings are a standard arrangement: we broker the number of vans you need and settle through a single balance payment, so accounting processes one transaction. Each van is a 14-seater Toyota Hiace Commuter Decontent 2026 with a driver. Groups of 17 or more are split across vans rather than overloading one. Send your headcount, date, and pickup points to Gracey at 0977 725 7308.
Which areas do you cover, and does the documentation change outside Metro Manila?
Metro Manila and Rizal are the primary coverage area, including Makati, BGC, Ortigas, and NAIA transfers. We also run to Baguio, Tagaytay, Batangas, Pampanga, La Union, and other provincial Luzon destinations. The documentation is identical wherever you travel: the same BIR-registered non-VAT Service Invoice. Hatid-sundo one-way is half rate inside Metro Manila and Rizal, while one-way trips outside that zone are billed as a full day.
Is Lakbaya LTFRB-franchised or PCAB-licensed?
No. Lakbaya does not have an LTFRB franchise or a PCAB license on file and does not claim otherwise. What we can document is the trip itself: a BIR-registered non-VAT Service Invoice covering the agreed all-in amount. If your procurement process specifically requires a franchised or licensed carrier, we are not the right supplier for that booking.
