The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Manila are: Nissan Pathfinder 4WD, Toyota Landcruiser, Toyota Fortuner, Daihatsu Terios, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tuscon and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Philippines ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Philippines are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
In spite of the fact that many of these “methods of education” may seem inhumane, local authorities have a strong argument to justify their use. 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.
