Since we were 7 in the group, we also decided against commuting all the way to Baguio because 1) we would always need to get 2 cabs to go around and 2) because of the traffic situation in downtown Baguio, we are not guaranteed to visit all the places in our itinerary within the limited time we had.

Tessa found a van rental from baguiotransient.com for P18,500 for the 3 days/2 nights trip we had initially planned. This included gas, toll, driver meals and accommodation. We were free to use the van around Baguio for 14 hrs the first day and 12 hours for days 2 and 3. Our driver, Kuya Nestor, was very courteous and knew his way around Baguio so we were able to visit most of the places we wanted to see.

Here is the itinerary we followed.
