Makati and the surrounding streets of Manila are known for congested traffic, especially during peak rush hour times of 6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 7 pm.

Because the traffic in Makati can back up quickly, those in car rentals in Makati should decide on a destination, determine a route, and get going without delay.
