The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Philippines traditionally include the following vehicles: Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima, Mercedes C Class, Toyota Altis, Nissan Primera, Mazda 6 and others.
The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.
Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Manila borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.
If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Manila might be delayed for a day or two.
Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.
We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Manila!

Earlier, they tried to fine pedestrians who were breaking the rules; pedestrians were imprisoned, sent to social works, and were even forced to perform the national anthem publicly - none of these methods gave any positive results.
When traveling on local roads, motorists should pay increased attention to public transport. Bus drivers often think they have a prerogative, so they almost never give way to ordinary cars.
Motorcycle taxis are an unusual type of "public transport" in the Philippines. Many owners of scooters work part time as “taxis”. Naturally, they are always in a hurry just like taxi drivers, and so they rarely observe all traffic regulations accurately.
