What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Cruz?

Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Philippines, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
