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.

He was super professional & friendly I have no complains. I rented the car for 1 month & did not have any problems or broke down. This is a trusted source for anyone that wants a rental vehicle fast.

Dane could provide a good service for you.Take this comprehensive value for money tour This Viator tour has quite satisfying content* that covered many interesting sights.Good decisions were made by Mr. Paul, our driver, that are to our best interest. He ensured that we took us to the longer Loboc River Cruise, timed it so that lunch is in abundance as opposed to leftovers and drove us the Chocolate Hills before it rained.I can overlook the lack of an English speaking driver/guide. *Blood compactBaclayon church nearly 300 years oldPythonLoboc river lunch cruiseMan-made mahogany forestChocolate hillsTarsierHanging bridgeYou won’t go wrong going for this tour by Mr. Paul.English Verion below !!! Wir haben im Juli 2024 für 4 Wochen einen Pick Up Toyota Hilux angemietet. Die Buchung verlief reibungslos und auch der Abholservice vom Airport hat super geklappt. Die dortige Vertragsabwicklung verlief dann auch recht schnell und unkompliziert. Das Fahrzeug hatte gerade mal rund12tsd Km runter und war nahe zu neu. Ein wunderbares Fahrzeug und bequem für minimum 5 Personen, und wie auf den Philippinen üblich weitere 8-10 Personen dann auf der Ladefläche. Welch ein Fun. Auch die spätere Rückgabe und Servicefahrt zum Flughafen war ohne Probleme. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut und der Service und die Freundlichkeit des Personals unbeschreiblich. Wir können die Autovermietung zu 100% wämstens Herzens weiter empfehlen und wir werden auch in diesem jar in jedem Fall wieder dort einen Pick-up buchen Liebe Grüße ans ganze Team und nochmals tausend Dank für die hervorragende Abwicklung. Liebe Grüße Lalaine und Holger *********************************************************** We rented a Toyota Hilux pick-up for 4 weeks in July 2024. The booking went smoothly and the pick-up service from the airport also went really well. The contract processing there was also very quick and uncomplicated. The vehicle had only covered around 12,000 km and was almost new. A wonderful vehicle and comfortable for at least 5 people, and as usual in the Philippines another 8-10 people on the loading area. What fun. The later return and service drive to the airport was also without any problems. The price-performance ratio is very good and the service and friendliness of the staff is indescribable. We can recommend the car rental company 100% with all our hearts and we will definitely book a pick-up there again this year Best regards to the whole team and thanks again for the excellent service. Best regards Lalaine and HolgerExcellent service and assistance! For me, this is the best car rental in Cebu! The service was smooth and hassle-free, and a special thanks to Sir Khen for assisting us throughout the process. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable car rentals in the area.Will book again The staff was helpful. Had sone issues with booking in third party app but they were accommodating. Highly recommended.It was good and fast service. No any problem. Special thanks for Richard and Rolan who helped me a lot and were very friendly!Excellent Service and Well Maintained Car Units!

I am completely satisfied with their very friendly and helpful staff. Well maintained car and on time airport transfer, especially thanks to staff, Chade, Richard and Drail Mar. Highly recommended!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!Special Thanks to Miss Jessa We had very important guests, and the Safe Ride team was exceptionally accommodating. They adhered to our special procedures for the safety and security of our guests. In particular, Miss Jessa has been coordinating and handling our requests perfectly from the start, during the trips, and even after the trips. We can confidently say that the name "Safe Ride" is most definitely fitting.The service was impeccable. Kate and Winston were friendly, professional, punctual, and super helpful. I was completely happy with my rental. I highly recommend Saferide Car Rental (Bohol).セルフドライブレンタカー オスロブへジンベイザメを見に行くために、自分で運転してみようとレンタルしました。週末で夜９時まで営業ということで向かいました、セブシティモールすぐそばですがグーグルマップを見ながら歩いていくと、真っ暗でとても怖い場所に出てしまいました。しかし、場所を通り過ぎていたことが判明。逃げ込むようにオフィスへ到着しました。オフィスや、運転手をしてる方々はとても良い方々です。金額は２０００pesoにデポジット８０００peso。国際免許証、自国の免許証、そしてもうひとつIDが必要になります。IDとデポジット（現金）は置いていきます。車は小型のATでした、車はとても綺麗で運転しやすかったです。しかしフィリピンの道路事情で運転するのは、かなりの腕と度胸が必要になります。あと夜はほんとに暗い、車のライトも明るくないので夜目が利かないと運転は怖いです。次回は少々高めでもドライバーつきにするつもりです。とうぜんナビもありませんし、バックは後ろを振り返る感じです。犬、人が平気で道路に飛び出してきます。Nice driver on time ,fast and safe,,thank u Darwin SelebranBest car rental place in Cebu! I have used Safe Ride three times now to rent a self-drive van for the six of us in our group and each time has been a pleasant experience. The rates are less than the "name brand" rental places and they have a greater variety of vehicles to choose from. The vehicles I have rented were lower mileage, newer and in good condition with everything in working order. The one time I did have a concern with a vehicle's brakes, they promptly replaced the vehicle with an other one. They have always treated me fairly and I would highly recommend this car rental company.Outstanding service from start to finish Very transparent with their pricing and incredibly quick to respond to any questions. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. Jason, who assisted us with both the pickup and return of the car, was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout. We truly appreciated the excellent service. Thank you for everything, Solène and Quentin!Fantastic and convenient service The service was excellent! The team was very helpful and made everything convenient by picking up the car directly from my hotel. Highly recommend this hassle-free and professional experience!Very professional staff Harold... plane was delayed and he waited for us. Thank you 🙏🏾Great company and great staff I rented a car to go to MoalBoal. The staff was friendly and honest. The car was great with cold AC. Paulo was great checking the car back in and he was pleasant and honest as well. I have zero complaints. If I go back to Cebu I would definitely use this company again. I rented the car on 11/4/24 and returned it later that night.Saferide best service Good service, Sir Rg. Very accomodating and friendly.
