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.

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.

Ideal car to rent in Cebu would be SUV with high ground clearance due to road conditions specially when raining since the streets get easily flooded because most of streets lacks drainage. Also make sure that you get the vehicle that you asked for, if not it should be an upgrade rather than a downgrade. Watch out for motorcycle riders they drive from all directions.

If you’re going to Cebu island and are planning to visit the whole island, it’s the best thing to do! You don’t need to deal with buses and schedules. Driving there is fine, just a lil crazy, be aware of your surroundings at all time (pedestrians too). Once you’re leaving Cebu City there is a lot less people on the street.

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.

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.

I didn’t get the right car that I signed up for. I was expecting a late model Mitsubishi Montero SUV but instead they gave me a high mileage, very noisy engine vibration almost beat up older model Toyota Innova with tires almost balding with poor traction on the wet road. I was very disappointed for the quality of vehicle that was offered to me. The only consolation is it got us from point A to point B. 😊

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.

Full-size SUV

First off the vehicle wasn’t a full size suv which I reserved and was told it would be a ford explore. It’s ok if a ford explore wasn’t available, but I didn’t receive a full size suv instead i received a Toyota Vios which is a subcompact sedan and it had preexisting damage all around the vehicle. When I returned the vehicle the staff member was trying to accuse me of the damage not knowing I took 360 degree video recording with the other staff member when I was given the vehicle after the payment was made not expecting a subcompact sedan. After I showed her the video she then said ok your good. But here’s the problem I paid the price for a full size SUZ not a subcompact sedan. So how will I be compensated for the difference?
