KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Puerto Princesa

  • If you're visiting Puerto Princesa, Puerto Princesa car rentals will provide flexibility and convenience, allowing you to explore the city and its surrounding attractions at your own pace. Renting a car is often more efficient than relying on public transportation, as it eliminates the need to adhere to fixed schedules and routes. Car rentals in Puerto Princesa will enable easy access to popular destinations like the Underground River, Honda Bay, and Nagtabon Beach, which may be less accessible by other means of transport.
  • Upon arrival at Puerto Princesa Airport (PPS), you can easily rent a car for your convenience. The car rental offices are in the Arrivals hall, where you can speak to your chosen supplier and complete the rental agreement. Once done, you can pick up your vehicle just outside the terminal building on Rizal Avenue. As the airport is close to the city, consider pre-booking car hire with off-site suppliers along Puerto Princesa North Road or in the Southern part of Puerto Princesa for better deals.
  • The driving style in this Puerto Princesa tends to be a mix of calm and relaxed, with occasional displays of impatience. While most drivers generally respect the rules, there can be instances of aggressive driving. Staying vigilant and expecting unexpected maneuvers while driving car rentals in Puerto Princesa is essential. Bicycles, trucks, pedestrians, and jaywalkers can frequently be encountered on the roads. Common vehicles in this city include motorcycles, tricycles (motorcycles with sidecars), cars, and public utility vehicles like jeepneys and buses.
  • In Puerto Princesa, the rush hour typically occurs during weekdays between 7 am and 9 am and in the afternoon between 5 pm and 7 pm. During these times, major roads such as Rizal Avenue and Malvar Street are most affected by heavy traffic congestion. Similarly, during the peak tourist season, which is usually from December to April, there can be increased traffic due to the influx of visitors. It's advisable to plan your travel accordingly and allow extra time to navigate through congested areas.

Actually it was not Dollar rental car but Hertz rental car. I presumed Dollar was bought by Hertz in Palawan operation. Still the Hertz staff are warm and hospitable and the rental car was clean and full tank when it was turned over to us in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.

Instead of blocking the security deposit amount on my credit card, like everyone else does, they made a payment equal to the security deposit and then, sometime after I returned the car, processed a refund. This resulted in me losing about 12% of the money to the bank to cover the exchange rate differences.
