Top tips for renting a car in Manila

  • Ensure you have a valid driver's license from your country of residence before renting a car in Manila. The license must also be written in English. If not, you can obtain an official license translation by going to the nearest embassy of the nation that issued it. You don't require special permission if you intend to drive in the city for up to 90 days. Your active driver's license will do. However, if your stay is longer than 90 days, you must apply for a local driver's license.
  • If you are looking for a place to get cheap car rentals in Manila, there are a great many options. For passengers landing at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, consider renting a car at the airport. Various car rental providers such as National Car Rental,  Avis, Hertz, and Thrifty operate in the airport. For those looking to rent cars in the city center, you will also find various places to get a car rental that suits your needs.
  • If you are a parent or guardian, use a car seat that suits your child's weight, age, and height when driving your Manila car rental. For those with newborns up to the age of 1, ensure they ride in infant car seats, while those older than age 1 who have outgrown the infant car seat can ride in convertible car seats. Older kids between the ages of 4 and 12 can use booster seats, while those who can't fit in a booster transition seat can ride in a toddler booster. Additionally, you can purchase an all-in-one car seat that your child can ride in from toddler age up.
  • 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.

Jan 2019

KAYAK

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

After a 24 hour long flight you simply want your rental car. Well; Avis didn't approve our European driver license! they would only accept US and Filipino driver licenses. There was NOTHING listed about this on the web site. When we deal with them two people was waiting next to us and they told me that they knew it would happen as Avis don't accept foreign driver licenses but they could rent us a car.....well thanks but the car ended up being twice the price. Simply don't rent with Avis in Manila!

Pros:

Staff was very polite

Cons:

Claimed that location was "in terminal" but had to be shuttled to off airport location. I arrived at avis booth on time as reservation and there was no body at the booth. Waited awhile just to be shuttled to another location. No big deal. At the location it felt like the staff was not ready to hire me a car, told the car was not ready. Took an hour and a half for the car to come. Car came and they told me they are changing my car again due to undisclosed reason. Finally gave me a pretty old toyota vios with lots of scuffs and scratches so that took a long time to mark on the damage report sheet. No big deal. Its just the two lus hours i wasted just to get on the road that ruined the experience.
