Question 1

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Manila?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Manila, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 3

Can another person drive my rental vehicle?

Accepted Answer

There may be an extra fee for adding additional drivers, and they must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the primary driver. Check with the car rental company for specific terms and conditions.

Question 4

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

However, identification requirements can vary by country and region, so it's always a good idea to check with the rental company for specific details before you travel.

Question 9

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

To ensure you get the best deal, it’s advisable to compare rates and check for any available discounts or promotions during the booking process.
