Top tips for hiring a car in Metro Manila

  • Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) is the primary airport serving the Manila metropolitan area. It features several international and domestic flights to the region and thus is a suitable location in which to rent a vehicle. At MNL, whether you are arriving at Terminal 1, 2, or 3, you will find car rental counters situated at the respective arrival hall, where you can select your rental provider from the many car rentals available. You will then be guided through the rental process by the friendly professionals stationed at these rental counters.
  • Driving in Metro Manila can be a particularly nerve-racking experience. As one of the most highly populated and congested cities in the region, metro Manila’s road networks are frequently inundated with vehicles, causing heavy traffic and extended commute times. The morning and evening commute hours, which typically occur between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., respectively, are marked by a significant increase in traffic volume, which makes navigating the city a challenging endeavor. During rush hour, main roads and highways, including EDSA (Epifanio de los Santos Avenue), the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), and the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), are significantly congested. Navigating through metro Manila during rush hour requires strategic planning and the fortitude to endure the traffic frustrations.
  • Appropriate car models for moving around in metro Manila should prioritize certain features for navigating the unique challenges presented by the city's crowded environment. Due to the frequently congested streets and limited parking spaces in the region, a compact car with good maneuverability is recommended. In addition, a compact car featuring a fuel-efficient engine helps you deal with heavy traffic and frequent stop-and-go situations, thereby reducing the frequency of refueling and mitigating the environmental impact.
  • In metro Manila, the Philippines' child car seat law mandates the use of child restraint systems (CRS). CRS refers to booster seats and child car seats. The law pertains to children younger than 12 years old and shorter than 147 cm (58 inches) tall. The CRS should be compatible with the child's age, height, and weight, as some 12- and 10-year-olds may still be small enough to sit in child safety seats.
