Car Hire in the Philippines - Discover the Philippines with Rhino Car Hire

Discover the Philippines with Rhino Car Hire

With over 7,000 islands offering pristine beaches, bustling cities, and rich cultural experiences, the Philippines is a destination that calls for the freedom and flexibility of a rental car. Whether you’re visiting for business, exploring Manila’s lively streets, or heading to the stunning landscapes of Palawan or Cebu, Rhino Car Hire ensures you have a comfortable, reliable vehicle for every journey.

Why Rent a Car in the Philippines?

  • Freedom to Explore: Move at your own pace, without relying on public transportation schedules. Discover hidden beaches, local restaurants, and charming villages on your terms.
  • Convenience: Easily reach attractions, shopping centers, and scenic spots that may be less accessible by other means.
  • Comfort on Longer Trips: A rental car lets you travel comfortably, especially when visiting multiple destinations or remote areas.
  • Cost-Effective for Extended Stays: Save on multiple taxi rides or rideshare costs, especially when traveling with family or groups.

Types of Rental Cars Available in the Philippines

  • Economy Cars: Ideal for solo travelers or those on a budget who want to navigate city streets efficiently.
  • SUVs: Perfect for families or groups needing extra space and comfort, with plenty of room for luggage.
  • Luxury Vehicles: Enjoy a premium experience with features that make every journey more enjoyable.
  • 4x4 Vehicles: Essential for reaching rugged and off-road destinations, perfect for adventurous travelers exploring the countryside.

Top Destinations to Explore with a Rental Car

  • Metro Manila: Discover the capital’s unique blend of historical sites and modern attractions, including Intramuros, Rizal Park, and Makati’s shopping districts.
  • Tagaytay: Drive to this scenic spot just south of Manila to see Taal Volcano and enjoy the cool climate and scenic views.
  • Batangas: Known for beautiful beaches and diving spots, Batangas is an easy road trip from Manila for a beach getaway.
  • Cebu Island: Explore both urban and rural areas, from the historic sites of Cebu City to the beaches and waterfalls of southern Cebu.
  • Baguio: Head north to the country’s “Summer Capital,” known for its cooler climate, parks, and scenic mountain views.

Driving Tips for the Philippines

  • Traffic: Be mindful that larger cities, like Manila, can have heavy traffic, especially during peak hours. Plan routes and avoid rush hours when possible.
