KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cebu City

  • It’s always a delight to be able to explore a new place on your own terms and your own timetable. Cebu is the central starting point to a plethora of beautiful road trips, so car hire in Cebu City is a great way to ensure you make the most of your time in the Philippines. A day trip to Iloilo will see you covering 150 km and exploring Jaro Cathedral and Gigante Island. Ormoc is also around 150 km from Cebu, while the Mayon Volcano (330 km from Cebu) will give you an escape from city life.
  • Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB) has two terminals, one for domestic flights and one for international flights. If you’re arriving from Australia, you’ll touch down at Terminal 2, which has a wide range of hire car kiosks in the arrivals hall. Whether you’re looking for cheap car hire in Cebu City or a luxury experience, pre-booking through KAYAK is a great way to ensure the vehicle type you’re after will be available.
  • Though the Philippines may be closer to Australia than America, the road rules are more in line with what you find in the US. The most important factor to keep in mind is that vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road and overtake on the left. This also means giving way to the left at roundabouts and intersections. Though this is easier to get used to than it sounds in theory, it’s still worth familiarising yourself with the local road rules before picking up your car hire in Cebu City.
  • Buses, trucks and heavy vehicles must adhere to different speed limits in Cebu City than regular vehicles. Their limits are generally 20-30 km/h slower than the speed you’ll be permitted to travel at. Indeed, if the streets are crowded, they’ll be reduced to just 20 km/h. It’s important to be patient if you get stuck behind a large vehicle; only overtake if it’s safe and legal to do so, and don’t beep your horn unnecessarily.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Cebu City for €36 or less
  • Book your car hire in Cebu City at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Cebu City are around 34% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Cebu City

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Cebu City?

    If you’re travelling on a budget or flying solo, base your Cebu City car hire search around compact vehicles. Not only will you save money on the booking, but you’ll also find it easier to navigate the twists and turns of Cebu City’s streets. Compact cars are ideal for road trips, since they offer the best fuel economy. However, if you’re bringing some extra passengers or a lot of gear with you, then an SUV will give you a good compromise between fuel economy and spaciousness.

  • What’s the speed limit in Cebu City?

    Speed limits in the Philippines have a history of changing abruptly to suit the evolving needs of the populace. At present, most roads within Cebu City will have a speed limit of 40 or 50 km/h. Keep an eye out for signs and default to the slower speed if you’re uncertain. If you’re heading out of the city on a road trip, you may encounter roads with speeds of 70 and 80 km/h. On the highway, you may be able to get up to 100 km/h. Since the speed limits are subject to change at short notice, it’s important to base your speed on the posted signs.

  • Where are the best places to park in Cebu City?

    You’ll find a mix of paid and free parking opportunities in Cebu City. Shopping centres like SM Seaside City offer free parking, while Ayala Center charges approximately ₱ 100 (A$ 2.70). Many restaurants, like La Vie Parisienne, offer free valet parking, but there’s a lot of variance in Cebu City, so it’s important to keep an eye out for signs and parking attendants.

The pickup at the airport, the smooth process when you get and give the car back. Automatic car which is so great when you have to deal with the crazy traffic! The value! The only thing that could’ve been better was that there was nobody at the counter at the airport so so we had to wait for a little bit.

They have my reservation and they tell me at the counter that they ran out of car. I told them they have to honor my reservation. They then drove me to their other rental office from the airport. Spend at least 1-1/2 to 2 hours of unnecessary delay

It says that pick up is in airport but actually it's off site. The car looked like it was 20 years old with so many scratches it was almost comical. The tires were very worn. That said it got us from point A to point B with no issues.

2.8 Poor

Pros:

The pick up and drop off were dismal. They advertise it is drop off and pick up at the airport. This is not true. Their site is off the airport and there was no one there waiting for me at the airport. It took me 40 minutes of phone calls and then another 40 minutes for them to arrive and take me to their off site office. I had to drop off the car early because I had a 6 o'clock in the morning flight. They wanted to charge extra for that and I showed that on the reservation I was dropping the car off between 4 and 5:00 in the morning. When it came time to drop the car off there was no one there at the office or at the airport. I had to leave the car in their parking lot and did not have anyone to return my 7500 peso deposit. Is a poorly run operation and I would not recommend it for anyone
