Car rental FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Manila, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on December 18, 2024.
Are there toll roads in Manila?
Manila has several toll roads that use a closed toll system. Major toll roads in Manila include North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), which connects the city to provinces in Northern Luzon; South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), a major expressway that connects Manila to provinces in Southern Luzon; the Skyway, an elevated road in the Philippines capital that offers a faster route for motorists; and Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), which connects Manila to Cavite. Inquire with your car rental provider regarding their policies on toll roads.
What documents do I need to rent a car in Manila?
The documents needed to rent a car in Manila vary from one provider to another. General requirements include a valid driver’s license from your country of origin, an identification document with a photo (national ID or passport), and a credit or debit card for payment. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is another document most agencies ask for since English is not the primary language in Manila and the Philippines at large. Optional documents some providers ask for include proof of insurance and a printed copy of the rental confirmation receipt sent to your email.

Road signs in Manila are bilingual (English and Filipino), but you may consider other options if you are unfamiliar with roads in the city.
