I am thinking about travelling to Palawan island in the Philippines and spend around 1 week there. I am a solo traveler and I want to explore as much as possible.

Does it make sense to rent a car? I am afraid without my own transportation I will get stuck in the beautiful but only not many places near my accommodation. Although I know some public transportation is available I am afraid I won't visit that much as with my own vehicle.

Has anyone done this experience and can give some insights? Thank you!
