Ninoy Aquino International Airport Car Hire (MNL)

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) is the Philippines' largest airport with four rental companies distributed across the terminals, providing good options directly upon arrival. The airport is located in Pasay City, about 7 km south of Manila's city center. With a rental car you're free to explore Luzon island on your own terms.

From NAIA you can reach Makati Financial District in about 15–20 minutes via EDSA, and Intramuros in old Manila in about 20 minutes north. Tagaytay with Taal volcano is 65 km south – about 1.5–2.5 hours of driving via SLEX depending on traffic. Pick up your rental car at the correct terminal – NAIA has four terminals spread over 3 km.

Terminal 3 has the best access to rental companies. Avoid EDSA during rush hour – take Skyway Stage 3 instead for faster travel toward Makati and south. Always carry cash for toll roads if your car doesn't have an EasyTrip card.
