Premier Car Rental in Iloilo City – Explore Panay with Freedom

Bring the originals — we verify them at handover.

Foreign nationals need a valid driver's licence from your home country, plus your passport showing an arrival stamp from within the last 90 days. If your licence is printed in English, that's all — you don't need an International Driving Permit. If it's in another language, bring an IDP or an official English translation alongside it.

Your refundable security deposit goes on a credit card as a pre-authorisation hold: no funds are deducted, the amount is simply blocked and then released when you return the unit safely. Please travel with a credit card in the driver's name.

Philippine residents using a credit card for the deposit need only a valid Philippine driver's licence. Because the card secures the rental, we don't ask for proof of billing or a second ID — it's the quickest way through our counter. The card must be in the driver's name.

Philippine residents paying the deposit by cash, GCash or Maya need a valid Philippine driver's licence, an original proof of billing or a company ID, and one additional government-issued ID.

Age: you must be at least 21 to rent a car or motorcycle, and at least 30 for a van or SUV. Drivers aged 21 and 22 can still rent subject to approval, with a young driver fee — message us before booking and we'll confirm.

How much is the deposit? It depends on the unit you book. Motorcycles are a flat ₱5,000.

We release the hold the moment the vehicle is returned, though banks usually take 7 to 15 business days to show it in your available balance.

We offer flexible "Meet & Greet" services at the following locations:

• Iloilo International Airport (ILO): Our staff will meet you at the arrival area based on your flight schedule.

• Iloilo City Seaports: Perfect for those arriving via ferry from Bacolod or Guimaras.

• City Delivery: We can deliver the vehicle directly to your hotel within Iloilo City proper for a seamless start to your trip.

Yes — and it's one of the things that makes us different. Most rental companies in the Philippines won't let their units leave the island. We will, by RORO ferry, as long as you get our written approval first.

Here's how it works. Tell us your route and dates at least 24 hours before you sail. We'll issue your authorisation letter and prepare the vehicle's OR/CR registration documents, because the shipping line will ask for both at the terminal and won't load the unit without them. No approval, no paperwork, no crossing — and taking a unit across without it breaches your rental agreement.

What you cover: ferry fares, terminal fees, port charges, and any handling or shipping costs on both ends.

What you should seriously consider: marine insurance, and ask us for it when you request approval. Your standard rental cover doesn't follow the unit onto the ferry — while the vehicle is in transit or at sea, you carry full financial responsibility for it. Marine insurance isn't included and isn't mandatory, but it's the difference between a bad day and a very expensive one.

We arrange it for you. Don't plan on buying it at the pier — it isn't reliably available at every port, and turning up hoping to sort it there is how people end up crossing uninsured. Just tell us you want marine cover when you send us your route, and we'll process it before you sail.

One more thing: our roadside assistance can't reach you while the vehicle is in transit. It picks back up the moment you're on the road again.

Wherever you sail to, the unit comes back to an authorised Saferide branch. Ask us about one-way drop-offs if that's not where you started.
