Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent a car in the Philippines?
It depends on three things: the vehicle, how many days you're taking it, and the season. A small hatchback for a week in June sits at one end, a van over Holy Week at the other.
What doesn't change is what's in the price. Every rental includes insurance, unlimited mileage, and 24/7 roadside support, so the figure we quote is the figure you pay — we don't add fees at the counter.
Send us your dates and where you're headed and we'll come back with an exact quote. No deposit needed to get one.
What are the requirements for renting a car in the Philippines?
Visiting from overseas: your home-country driver's licence, your passport showing an arrival stamp from within the last 90 days, and a credit card in the driver's name for the refundable security deposit.
Philippine residents: your Philippine driver's licence. If you put the deposit on a credit card, that licence is the only document we need. If you'd rather pay the deposit in cash, GCash or Maya, bring an original proof of billing or company ID and one more government-issued ID.
Age: 21 and above for cars and motorcycles, 30 and above for vans and SUVs. Drivers aged 21 and 22 can rent subject to approval, with a young driver fee.
Bring the originals — we verify them at handover.
Can I drive in the Philippines on my foreign licence?
Yes, for 90 days from the date you arrived.
If your licence is printed in English, that's all you need. No International Driving Permit, nothing to arrange before you fly.
If it's in another language or script, bring an International Driving Permit or an official English translation and carry it together with your original licence. The IDP translates your licence rather than replacing it, so one without the other isn't enough.
Staying past 90 days? You'll need a Philippine licence from the LTO to keep driving.
Do I need a credit card to rent a car?
If you're visiting from overseas, yes — the refundable security deposit goes on a credit card in the driver's name. We place a hold on it rather than charging it, and release the hold when you bring the vehicle back.
If you're a Philippine resident, no. You can settle the deposit in cash, by GCash, or by Maya instead. That said, using a credit card is the quickest way through our counter, because the card covers the security side and your licence becomes the only document we need.
For the rental itself we take credit and debit cards, cash, GCash, Maya, and PayPal.
Is insurance included?
Yes, on every rental, and not as an upsell at the counter. You get a Collision Damage Waiver for the vehicle, Supplemental Liability Insurance for third-party damage and injury, and Personal Accident Insurance for the driver and passengers.
What you're responsible for is the excess — a participation fee if the vehicle is damaged, running from ₱5,000 to ₱35,000 depending on which class of vehicle you book. We tell you yours before you sign anything.
If you'd rather carry no excess at all, you can buy full protection through our partner RentalCover when you book.
Do you deliver the car to the airport or my hotel?
Yes — airports, piers, hotels, resorts, homes, and offices, across all seven of our branches.
Delivery and collection carries a fee based on distance, quoted to you when you book. Give us 24 hours' notice where you can, though it's always worth asking about shorter notice.
For airport and pier pickups, send us your flight or ferry number. We track arrivals in real time and adjust for delays, so our representative is there when you actually land rather than when you were scheduled to.
Do you offer the best car rental with driver in Cebu?
Yes — and the part most people don't expect is that we run around the clock. Book a driver for any hour, including a 2 AM airport run, and there's no night surcharge.
Our chauffeurs are English-speaking and vetted, and they know Cebu, Bohol and Dumaguete properly — not just where the tourist stops are, but which road to take at 5 PM on a Friday. Fuel and insurance are included in the rate, so what we quote is what you pay.
Can I pick up the car in Cebu and drop it off in Dumaguete?
Yes, between our branches — a one-way fee applies, based on the route.
Where the route involves a ferry crossing, there are two conditions. We need to approve it in writing before you travel, and marine insurance is required, which we arrange for you. Your standard rental cover stops at the pier, so while the vehicle is in transit you'd otherwise carry full financial responsibility for it — that's why the cover isn't optional on a crossing.
Tell us your pickup and drop-off points when you enquire and we'll confirm the route, the fee, and the paperwork in one go.

Very accomodating and friendly.+0They truly offer affordable yet top-quality service. The car assigned to us was a Toyota Raize that was purchased just 6 months ago. It was very clean, well-maintained, and still smelled brand new — you can really tell they take good care of their vehicles. What impressed us even more was the quality of service from start to finish. From the time we made our booking up to the actual rental, everything was smooth and hassle-free. Special thanks to Khen who assisted us throughout — he was super nice, kind, and very diligent in his work. He gave clear guidance, made sure everything was properly explained, and was very responsive to our messages, especially when we were returning the car. Overall, my family and I had a truly pleasant and stress-free experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable and quality car rental service in Cebu! 🚗✨+0Got a Yellow car from these guys. tire Pressure was a little low, and they fixed it right on the spot. had fun Zipping through cebu. Yup! rented from this place twice now. no issues. shoutout to GYPZY btw.+0Look for Chade, Emson, and Khen, why I gave a five-star review for this place. I rented twice, and both times are very satisfying. There is no need to find another place. Next to SM mall across one of the best lechon in Cebu ,CNT Lechon. No additional fees unlike renting cars near the airport.+0Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We rented a car from this company! Everything was high-quality and on time. The manager was excellent; he delivered the car right to the hotel. He was always available! I returned it to him at the airport. The car was like new, a 2023 Toyota Vigo with 7,500 km on the odometer. I highly recommend using this company! You won't regret it!+1
(Translated by Google, see original)Will book again The staff was helpful. Had sone issues with booking in third party app but they were accommodating. Highly recommended.+1Rodgie, our Customer Service representative, helped us with a last minute car rental. We needed a hatchback for my husband’s wheelchair. The process was very easy. Just US driver’s license and passport. Thanks Saferide!+0Thank you, Boying! They were very polite, providing meticulous explanations and checking every detail. They also have a wide variety of motorcycles, are fuel-efficient, and reasonably priced. I'll definitely come back next time.+0

Shout out and Special Thanks to Sir Vince for his excellent assistance he was friendly, responsive, and very helpful throughout. Highly recommended!thank you so much xa safe drive sir bryan.(our driver)Great deal and super convenient! My husband and I found out about this place less than an hour before we were on a city tour with them. Despite not having a reservation, the company welcomed us into their office, and got a car and a driver ready for us in twenty-nine minutes. The tour itself was great, and the driver was very courteous and friendly. We went to seven different spots in the city and the Tops outlook point, which cost us a total of 2800 pesos. A bargain if you ask me. Next time we are in Cebu, we are definitely going with this company again, and hopefully their inter-island yours are just as awesome.Whaleshark trip Our driver Bryan was punctual, polite and very friendly. He was very knowledgeable and assured that we had an interesting and enjoyable trip. We would recommend Bryan to fellow travellers.Simply The Best! We hired the company for 3 days in Cebu.

(Translated by Google, see original)I’ve been using Saferide Car Rental every time I travel to Cebu and Dumaguete, and they’ve always been reliable and easy to deal with. I recently booked a car with a driver through them, and the experience was excellent. Our driver, Karl, was very professional and drove so smoothly that I didn’t feel car sick at all during the trip. Highly recommended, especially if you want a stress-free ride. Thank you, Saferide and Karl!I’ve had a great experience for renting here. Sir dane was very accommodating and professional. Deserves a 5 star rating and would definitely recommend this and book again soon!Excellent Driving Service from Cebu City to Bantayan with Driver Bryan End of September 2019 we hired a private car from Cebu City to Hagnaya, which is the ferry port to Bantayan Island. When you book with Saferide you have to pay a deposit in advance, usually 20% of the total price when your pickup place is in Cebu City. If your pickup place is in a remote place on Cebu it's 50% deposit. It's best to have a Paypal-account for that. Saferide sends you a link by Email or SMS and it just takes a klick to do the payment. Bryan, our driver picked us up at the agreed time and did an excellent and safe job. His english is also very good and he can provide you information on the way. I can strongly recommend to use Saferide, it all went smooth.Excellent customer services from Kuya Ryan and Kuya Jupiter! No hassle is transacting with them!Great service from kuya Roner. High recommend. If you’re ever in cebu and need a motorcycle rental check out saferide cebu and look for kuya roner he’ll help you. ���safe and pleasant day tour ride i recommend this company should you need a car to tour you around the city... they provide good drivers with manners and communicative...Safe & Comfortable We found this company on the internet & called to book for a cebu tour, very friendly and attentive staff. Drivers are very professional and on time. Thanks for making our cebu trip very pleasurable!SUV rental with chauffeur Salute to kuya Howard! The best chauffeur ever! Thank you very much for your safe and very careful service. Highly recommended👌👌👌Good New car and ease of check out.Self-drive rental car I rented a car to go to Oslob to see the whale sharks and try driving myself. It was open until 9pm on the weekend, so I headed there. It's right next to Cebu City Mall, but as I walked while looking at Google Maps, I ended up in a very scary place that was pitch black. However, it turned out that I had passed the place. I arrived at the office as if I was taking refuge. The office and the drivers are very nice. The amount is 2000 peso plus a deposit of 8000 peso. You will need an international driver's license, your country's driver's license, and another ID. I left my ID and deposit (cash). The car was a small automatic, and it was very clean and easy to drive. However, driving in the Philippine road conditions requires a lot of skill and courage. Also, it's really dark at night, and the car lights are not bright, so it's scary to drive if you can't see well at night. Next time, I'm going to get a driver even if it's a little more expensive. Of course, there is no navigation system, and you have to look back when backing up. Dogs and people jump out onto the road without a second thought.
