Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Philippines, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car.

  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
