Driving In The Philippines - Do Not Forget Your IDP

[KeithD]

Didn't have any problems with Avis when I hired a car for a month

The insurance cover would not have been valid though. If you had to claim the insurance company would deny it if you don't have an IDP. IF you are responsible for an accident, then being a foreigner unable to pay would get you in jail. At least you would save £8.50 though

Really

I hire a car, they give me the keys, I sign all their paperwork, I keep copies including the CDW premium I've paid, and you're trying to tell me I'm not insured

I'd love to see a link to that Keith, similar to the one from the Philippines consulate that I posted saying that I didn't need an IDP
