The wide, open road is calling your name, and Pasay is a superb base to kick-start your driving adventure. Situated 5 miles from downtown, the first thing you’ll need to pick up is the key to one of our impressive rental cars. A full-size SUV will take you in and around Manila in total comfort — or perhaps you want to venture off the beaten path and explore hidden gems with a robust four-wheel drive. For zipping around the city, we’d recommend picking an economy or compact car. They won’t be as roomy, but they’ll be wonderful at maneuvering into those tight parking spaces.
