Get your bags, exit the arrivals hall at Manila Airport (MNL-Ninoy Aquino Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you climb into depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Manila, around 6 miles from the terminal, choose something small. A compact car with nimble handling will suit those bustling city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the striking coral reefs of the surrounding area, you’ll probably be clocking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips more comfortable.
