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

  • Car hire in Davao City gives you the freedom to control your own holiday without relying on local transport schedules or trying to haggle with the local taxi drivers for a fair price. The city is home to various museums and a stone's throw away from national parks and white, sandy beaches. You can spend your time exploring things like the crocodile park and Jack's Ridge inside the city before heading out on a road trip to nearby places like Dahican Beach, Alamada, Malaybalay or Bukidnon. You get to do all of this without waiting around for someone else to tell you when to go or what to see.
  • Car hire in Davao City Airport (DVO) is the ideal place to hire a car in the city and is a short drive away from the centre of Davao. You'll likely be flying out of this airport anyway, so you don't have to worry about finding a taxi to get you there. Davao City car hire desks are located in the Arrivals Hall of the domestic terminal, as you exit the luggage claim area. Make sure to hire the vehicle online to avoid availability issues and speed up the process. You'll be escorted to the parking garage as soon as you've filled out the paperwork.
  • Driving in Davao City is relatively simple but you'll need to be aware of the road rules and stick to them, even if locals seem not to. Foreigners are often targeted and there are CCTV cameras around the city monitoring the traffic. As with anywhere in the Philippines, jaywalking is a common thing, so you'll need to be aware of pedestrians walking across the road without warning. Remember to stick to the right-hand side of the road and pass on the left.
  • A difficulty with driving in Davao City is the traffic and pedestrians. Though not nearly as bad as Manila, the traffic in the city can be heavy and you'll need to be aware of local drivers changing lanes quickly and often without indicating. Make sure you stick to the speed limit, which is usually around 30 km/h in the city and built-up areas, though they can vary. It's wise to book a driver with your car hire in Davao City.
  • Book your car hire in Davao City at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

  • How can I find car hires near me in Davao City?

    Take a look at our extensive car hire location map to find the best car hire deals near you.

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

    The roads in Davao City are wide enough to accommodate cars of any size, but the traffic inside the city is better suited to small, compact models. These are easier to navigate when traffic is heavy and easier to park. If you're planning on using public transport in the city and reserving your Davao City car hire for road trips, splash out and get an SUV or 4x4 for a more comfortable experience.

  • What’s the speed limit in Davao City?

    The speed limit in Davao City is similar to the speed limit elsewhere in the Philippines. If you're driving on an open road or a major highway, the speed limit is capped at 100 km/h, while urban roads on the outskirts are usually capped at 80 km/h. When you're driving inside the city, most of the streets have a limit between 40 km/h and 60 km/h depending on how built-up the area is. If you're in the city centre, stick to 30 km/h, especially if there are no signs.

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

    Most of the street parking in Davao City is paid parking, and you'll generally be charged between 06:00 and 21:00 every day. Weekend rates and times tend to vary. If you're travelling to a retail area or shopping centre, there will be outside and underground parking you'll have to pay for. We recommend finding a hotel or accommodation that offers free parking, to avoid leaving your car hire on the street at night.
