🏝️ Why You Should Rent a Car in Palawan
Palawan is a large island, and Puerto Princesa is where most travelers arrive by air. With Book2Wheel, one of our local partners can deliver your car directly to the airport or your hotel — most travelers prefer hotel delivery after they’ve had time to rest.
You can then drive your rental car all the way to El Nido and return it there. However, please note:
- The minimum rental period is 3 days for one-way trips.
- Not all owners offer this service — make sure to check the listing details.
- In the “Extras” section, select Return in El Nido, which costs ₱5,500 (for vehicle collection in El Nido).
Although Google Maps may show the drive as 4–5 hours, in reality, it can take up to 8 hours, especially with stops or traffic. Always drive during the daytime — the roads can be challenging and it’s not recommended for first-time visitors to drive at night.
🚙 Vehicles Available
Book2Wheel offers a variety of vehicles, including:
- SUVs
- Pickup trucks
- Vans (self-drive)
This allows you to travel comfortably and at your own pace across Palawan.
