Car rental at the Francisco Bangoy International Airport

Car rentals are conveniently located within the airport. You’ll find a selection of reputable car rental agencies such as Hertz, Europcar, and local agencies. We recommend booking your rental car in advance online to ensure availability.

Driving in the Philippines

• Drive on the right side of the road, the opposite of the UK.
• English road signs and shop signs are common.
• Unlike the UK, the Philippines has no drink drive limit; driving with any alcohol in your system is illegal.

Climate and Currency

The Philippines has a tropical climate. You can expect high temperatures and humidity levels year-round. Ensure your rental car has good air conditioning! The local currency is the Philippine Peso (₱), and it's recommended to have some on hand for toll fees and parking expenses.

Getting to Davao City Centre

From the airport, it's just a short 15-minute journey to Davao city centre. Take Carlos P. Garcia Highway/Route 10 and JP Laurel Ave to your destination.

Filling up the Tank

There is a Shell and a Phoenix fuel station within 1 kilometre of the airport, ideal if your rental car policy is 'full to full'.

Exploring Davao City and Beyond

With your own set of wheels, the entirety of Davao City and beyond is yours to explore. From coastline drives and water sports, to tasting the city's famous bright purple yam, or 'ube', there are ample adventures waiting for you in Davao City and surrounding areas.

Top Tip

Always abide by the traffic rules and avoid rush hours. A GPS might come in handy to navigate unfamiliar roads and traffic jams, which can be common in the city.
