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.
- 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 39% 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.

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 anyoneEnterprise Rent-A-Car
