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 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact car hire in Davao City are around 16% cheaper than other car types, on average

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.

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.

Pros:
The worst experience with a rental I have ever had. I went to pick up my car from AVIS to be told that there were no rentals available. I showed them my booking receipt from KAYAK, which apparently meant nothing to AVIS. I asked why they didn’t contact me in the 4 days between booking and picking up and they told me that KAYAK didn’t provide them with my email and mobile phone details so they were not able to contact me. I had plans already made and had bookings in another city which I needed the car for travelling to. Alternative last minute car booking with another car hire company cost me double of that which I had budgeted for with KAYAK. Will never use KAYAK again and will advice friends and family of the hardship and inconvenience caused by the booking company.Cons:
