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 hire car counters can be found at a variety of locations in the airport. Terminals 1, 2, and 3 all have their own hire 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.
- Book your rental car in Manila at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Standard rental cars in Manila are around 23% more expensive 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.
