Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Manila 
Jo RovynneJun 2025
Get the small car so easy to park anywhere
Verified travelerMay 2024
There is one day in a weekday that the car can not be driven in greater Manila region in view of number coding restriction. This depends on the last number on the license plate i.e. 1 and 2 car is restricted to be driven o. Mondays etc... Motorcycle riders on the streets have no sense of decency, respect, courtesy. Chaos define what they are. Be very careful. There are several van drivers ferrying Chinese workers seem to think that they are exempted from traffic rules and regulations extra caution is required.
RoyOct 2023
Hire a driver to get you out of the busy area then when you get used to Manila drive on your own.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Look out for the scooters and motor bikes. They act as if they own the road and come dangerously close to everyone. They will cut you off without regard. Be careful driving in Manila is not for the faint of heart.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Only book directly through a car company. Speak directly to a human on the phone. Only use major companies with complete insurance coverage

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Manila

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • Mini rental cars in Manila are around 55% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Manila

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Manila?

    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.

  • What’s the speed limit in Manila?

    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).

  • Where are the best places to park in Manila?

    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.

The staff at the airport was friendly and did his best to help us, so this poor review is not a reflection on him. However, it is important for other travelers to know that Avis and other international car rental companies need at least 3-4 days before booking to confirm that they do, in fact, have a car available. We booked a car through Kayak and got a confirmation two days before, only to arrive at the airport and be told that they were completely booked (as were Hertz, Thrifty, and other similar companies) and had no cars we could use. The Avis customer service was unwilling to pay the difference between the rate they confirmed for us and the higher rate a local car rental company offered. In summary, the system of online booking, whether directly with Avis or through a third party like Kayak, does not work in the Philippines if you book a few days before needing the rental.
