Cheap Car Hire in Davao City

There are a few things you'll need to hire a car in the Philippines, such as a valid driving licence, a major credit card (Visa, Amex or MasterCard) and a valid passport. As a foreigner, you may use the driving licence issued by your country for 90 days as long as the licence is written in English. If your driving licence is not in English, you will need to go to your country's embassy to have it officially translated to English. If you wish to stay beyond 90 days, you need to go to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and have your licence converted to a local version. You also have the choice to get a new licence from the LTO. You always need to have your passport, driving licence and car hire document with you while driving your hired car.

In the Philippines, all cars drive on the right side of the road and the country follows many of the same road rules as other countries, with the exception that in the Philippines, it is illegal to use right hand drive vehicles. While driving in the Philippines, please remember to always wear your seat belt, follow the speed limit, and don't drink before you drive as the alcohol limit in the Philippines is 0.05%. It is best to check with Davao motor vehicle authorities for recent law changes.

The type of car you'll need for Davao will be dependent on what your reason for visiting is. The Philippines has a robust road network spanning most of the country, but the roads can be rough and unkempt in some areas, in which case it may be best to hire a 4X4 car that will be strong enough for the roads and also be able to go slightly off road if need be. This would allow you to be able to drive further into the country. However, if you think you will spend most of your time in the city, it may be a better idea to get a smaller, more compact car that would be better suited to the city streets.

When hiring a car in Davao, the best place for you to park or leave your hired car would be at your accommodation. On most occasions, you will likely have parking allotted to you at your accommodation, which is usually included in the price but not always. Your other option would be parking on the street outside your accommodation but if that is not an option, you will still be able to either park it at the car hire location or a parking garage for a small fee.
