UK Driver in the Philippines

[darren-b]

Legally - you're fine with your UK licence for the first 90 days. (after that, u just transfer to a filipino one)

I thought legally you were meant to have a International Driving Permit as well. Cheap and easy to get from the Post Office.

in practise, I left my driving licence back in England before I came here - forgot to bring it . . . and I have been driving here for the last year - with no worries at all

I've never been asked to see mine either on the many times I've hired a car.

No worries unless you get caught.. Just make sure you have enough money if you don't want to see the inside of a Philippines prison...
