What are the requirements to hire a car in the Philippines?
To hire cars in the Philippines, you will need to have your passport, credit card, and driving licence. An international driver’s permit is not required if your licence is printed in English. Car hire in the Philippines also requires someone to be at least 21 years old to hire a car with two years of driving experience. If you are under 25, you may have to pay a young driver’s surcharge. This covers the additional insurance needed for drivers with limited driving experience. It is also good to note that the Philippines’ car hire will limit drivers under 25 years old to specific cars.
