Car rental in Luzon (Philippines)

Hi there, Another new idea! Given the travel times and the complexity of public transport to get from Manila Airport to Banaue (with a 2-day stop in Capas for a trip to Pitalito), we’re thinking of renting a car for the week. We’ve started looking around, but the booking sites aren’t offering much—can’t find a small vehicle for two. If anyone has any tips to share, we’d love to hear them! And if two other travelers are interested in our itinerary, we can share the ride! (February 19–26). Thanks again for your help.

I rented from this place in Makati for a week; it seemed legit and the rate was reasonable:

Thanks so much for the tip. Sure enough, the rates on the site are way more reasonable!

Still wondering about renting a car... If we rent a small car, our two backpacks won't fit in the trunk. Is it risky to leave luggage in plain sight on the back seat? Not in Manila, of course, but on the road to Capas and Banaue... Thanks for your input!
