I suggest you send a copy of this thread to Avis, they're obviously not aware of the law in the country they hire cars out in
http://www.avis.com.ph/system.php?LS...=1223645050467
The relevant bit being DRIVER'S LICENSE
Renter must possess a valid driver’s license which must have been held for at least two (2) years. A foreign driver’s license is valid for a maximum of 90 days from the date of arrival in the Philippines. An international driving permit (IDP) will be required of a renter holding a non - English license."

That is the T&C with Avis. Nothing wrong with that. Your point is meaningless though, as the onus is on the driver, not the company, to abide by the law, as I have said previously . Please pay attention. It is this simple, you either decide to break the law or you don't. Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc, have T&C, are often found to be in breach of country specific and international laws, so you have proved nothing.

A relative of my wife works for the LTO and having checked, holders of British - and other licences issued in English - do not require IDPs in order to drive here regardless of whether the vehicle is owned by a rental company or not. A British drivers licence may be used for up to 90 days commencing on date of entry to the country and if you wish to continue driving after that 'grace period' you need to obtain a Philippine licence from the LTO.

Give it up Keith
Either post a link to Philippine Law saying that it is the law, or admit that you're wrong on this occasion.
Once again why would rental companies let people drive their cars illegally
Don't quote t&c's quote the law

The 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic is enshrined in International law, for which the Philippines are a signatory. That is so simple to understand, even someone on the Jeremy Kyle show could understand. This was mentioned above, but you missed it.
Whether companies or government departments implement it is up to them, however, it is still LAW. Not forgetting that companies are often found in breach of laws in individual countries when they use global T&C, and not forgetting how many times government departments in the UK alone have been found in breach of laws, both at home, in the EU, and internationally.Keith Driscoll - Administrator

Keith, at least you're good for a laugh, I'll give you that
The link I gave to the Philippine Consulate says you don't need an IDP, international hire companies say you don't need it, the Philippine LTO says you don't need it.
However Keith and the AA say they're all wrong

The UN not the AA
Here you go since you do not seem to understand. International law stands over the law of a country when they are a signatory.

Philippine government? They don't even follow their own rules! No wonder my country is in shambles.
