Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about renting a car in Dumaguete? Our FAQ section covers everything you need to know—driver’s license requirements, insurance, rental durations, payment options, and more. We aim to provide clear, straightforward answers so you can book with confidence. Whether you're a first-time renter or a returning customer, we’ve got you covered.

What are the requirements and security deposit policy for Dumaguete?

Whether you're collecting at our Camanjac branch, at Sibulan Airport, or off the ferry at the pier, bring the originals — we check them at handover.

Visiting from abroad? You'll need your home-country driver's licence and your passport showing an arrival stamp from within the last 90 days. If the licence is in English, nothing else is required — an International Driving Permit is only needed when the licence is in another language, and then it comes alongside the licence rather than replacing it.

The refundable deposit is handled as a credit card pre-authorisation: we place a hold rather than taking payment, and release it when the vehicle comes back in good order. Bring a credit card in the driver's name.

Local residents get a shortcut. Settle the deposit on a credit card and your Philippine driver's licence is the only document we need — we skip the proof of billing and the second ID entirely, because the card already covers the security side.

Prefer to pay the deposit in cash, or by GCash or Maya? That's open to Philippine residents. Bring your licence, an original proof of billing or a company ID, and one additional government-issued ID.

Age: Most of our fleet is open to drivers 21 and over, including the scooters, Wigo, Vios, Seagull, Avanza, Innova, Raize and Tamaraw. A driver aged 30 or over is required for the Hiace vans, the Fortuner and the Hilux. If you're 21 or 22 you can still rent with approval and a young driver fee — ask us before you book.

The deposit amount depends on which unit you choose. Motorcycles are a flat ₱5,000.

We void the hold as soon as you return the unit. Banks typically take 7 to 15 business days to reflect that in your balance, which is on their side rather than ours.

Can I pick up my rental at the Dumaguete-Sibulan Airport (DGT) or the Seaport?

Absolutely. We offer Meet & Greet services at both the Dumaguete-Sibulan Airport and the Dumaguete Seaport. Since we operate by appointment at these hubs, please provide your flight or ferry details during booking so our representative can be there to hand over the keys the moment you arrive.

Are there restrictions on where I can drive my rental in Negros?

Our rentals come with Unlimited Mileage within the island of Negros. You are free to explore popular spots like Valencia (Casaroro Falls), Dauin, or even drive up to Bais for dolphin watching. However, please note that our sedans and hatchbacks are restricted to paved roads only; if you plan to visit rugged highland areas, we recommend booking one of our SUVs or Pickups.
