The metro area of Cebu, Philippines does offer a few public transportation options to travelers who are visiting the area; public transportation options include buses and mini-buses, for example. However, travelers who may be carrying excess baggage or who may want to explore more extensively outside city limits would benefit significantly from renting a vehicle for the journey. If you have brought gear on your trip to use for outdoor adventure, a vehicle rental is recommended, as it will provide sufficient space. Likewise, if your objective is to explore the region with some autonomy, car rentals will give you the freedom to adjust your scheduled on the fly and enjoy the regional attractions at your leisure.

With the province's beautiful climate comes the expectation that there will be a broad array of vehicles sharing the roadways in Cebu. Drivers may encounter vehicles used for public transportation, such as buses, as well as scooters, motorcycles, cyclists and pedestrians. You will want to stay alert while you are behind the wheel. You will also want to take heed of the traffic laws in Cebu, such as the seatbelt requirements and the law prohibiting the use of handheld devices. A traffic detail that is particular to the Philippines is the use of yellow lines. The roads may have three yellow line dividers; private drivers are required to drive within the third lane.

The minimum age to rent a car in Cebu, as throughout the Philippines, varies based on the rental car company from which you choose to obtain a vehicle. Some companies may require that drivers are at least 25 years old; however, some larger international companies may ask that drivers are no younger than 21 years old. Take note that drivers between the ages of 21 and 25 may be subject to a young driver fee.
