Should have a rate per liter on gas if the customer returned the car with less then when it was picked up instead of just guessing. Customers Service is good, they try to please their customer. The office is a bit hot.

When you booked the car, you gave me an address in Fort Bonifacio to pick up the car. Arriving at the appointed time. The rental station was closed. The phone number provided didn't answer (and I was told by the doorman it was for Hertz, not Dollar. I tried to find another number on Google, on to see that there is no Dollar of record in Fort Bonifacio. I remembered you had another office in Makati. finding it in Google it said it was open - but that phone number also didn't work. So I just took a cab there. They were open, and I got a car. The experience initially was not good. The guy at the Makati branch was fine and helpful.

It could’ve been better if their hotline is always available. Most of the number online doesn’t work and if it works nobody is answering.

Car was in clean, in good condition, worked well, and got good gas mileage. The staff was excellent - very friendly and helpful, very easy to deal with, and not pushy with extra charges or insurance.Dropping the car off could have been a little easier - there is no specific car rental return area like there are in many other major airports. So be sure to ask when ask the specifics of where to return the car BEFORE you leave the airport with the vehicle. Otherwise, everything else was great.

The main advantage of renting a vehicle during your time in Manila is that it opens the outer areas of the city and nearby countryside for exploration. Fort Santiago, for instance, is just 20 minutes from central Manila by car, but if you were to opt for public transport instead, it could take up to 50 minutes.
For travelers planning on renting a vehicle after landing at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the rental car counters can be found at a variety of locations in the airport. Terminals 1, 2, and 3 all have their own rental car areas located in their respective Arrivals Lobbies.
Due to congestion on major roads during the workweek, Manila has enforced the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), which forbids certain private vehicles from driving on major roads on various days of the week from 7:00 a.m to 8:00 p.m., based on the final digit of their license plate. Specifically, vehicles whose license plates ends with a 1 or 2 are banned on Mondays, 3 or 4 on Tuesdays, 5 or 6 on Wednesdays, 7 or 8 on Thursdays, and 9 or 0 on Fridays.
Manila like any major city in the world experiences its fair share of rush hour traffic. Drivers can expect the morning rush hour to pick up around 7:00 a.m. and to last until 9:00 a.m. most mornings, while the afternoon and evening rush hour usually begins at around 4:00 p.m. and finishes up between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. The key roads to avoid during rush hour in Manila are the R-8 and C-1. Both of these roads face major congestion during the busiest hours of the day.

It is best to go with a mid-sized to smaller vehicle like a sedan or compact during your time in Manila because of the city’s variable roads. This is because it isn’t uncommon to see small lanes and one-way roads, particularly in the more historic sections of the city. On such streets, larger cars may struggle to fit at times, so to be safe, go with a smaller car. Additionally, parking spaces are often small, especially in densely populated areas.
Streets within Manila feature speed limits from 20 km/h (12 mph) in residential areas to 40 km/h (25 mph) on regular urban roads, while outside of built-up areas the speed limit goes up to 80 km/h (50 mph). On motorways and expressways the speed limit can reach 100 km/h (62 mph).
Private parking garages and lots are convenient great options for drivers who are sticking to the busier parts of town. This is particularly the case in the bay front area, where parking garages are the main option available. In quieter quarters such as residential areas, streetside parking is a more popular and typical option. Drivers should note, though, that many businesses will have private parking lots and garages for their customers to use.
