How do you know whether a car rental or a ride sharing service is better for your trip? The answer depends on where you’re going, how often you’ll be traveling, and whether or not you need a driver for the day.
Getting around in the Philippines has never been easier. Whether you’re heading to a meeting, going on a road trip, or picking up someone at the airport, you’ve got two main choices: ride sharing apps like Grab or renting a car. Our goal is to help you spot the difference between ride sharing and car rental that companies offer—and why car rentals might just be the smarter choice for longer or busier travel days.

Ride sharing services—like Grab, JoyRide, or inDrive—are mobile apps where you can book a car with a driver to take you from one place to another. You open the app, set your pick-up and drop-off points, and wait for the driver to arrive.

Car rentals are services where you can rent a vehicle for a few hours, a full day, or even several days, either to drive yourself or with a professional driver provided. At VPI Cars, we offer both self-drive rentals and with-driver rentals, perfect for business, leisure, or group travel.
