Cebu City car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Cebu City 
Verified travelerDec 2024
Ideal car to rent in Cebu would be SUV with high ground clearance due to road conditions specially when raining since the streets get easily flooded because most of streets lacks drainage. Also make sure that you get the vehicle that you asked for, if not it should be an upgrade rather than a downgrade. Watch out for motorcycle riders they drive from all directions.

If you’re going to Cebu island and are planning to visit the whole island, it’s the best thing to do! You don’t need to deal with buses and schedules. Driving there is fine, just a lil crazy, be aware of your surroundings at all time (pedestrians too). Once you’re leaving Cebu City there is a lot less people on the street.

The pickup at the airport, the smooth process when you get and give the car back. Automatic car which is so great when you have to deal with the crazy traffic! The value! The only thing that could’ve been better was that there was nobody at the counter at the airport so so we had to wait for a little bit.

It says that pick up is in airport but actually it's off site. The car looked like it was 20 years old with so many scratches it was almost comical. The tires were very worn. That said it got us from point A to point B with no issues.

I didn’t get the right car that I signed up for. I was expecting a late model Mitsubishi Montero SUV but instead they gave me a high mileage, very noisy engine vibration almost beat up older model Toyota Innova with tires almost balding with poor traction on the wet road. I was very disappointed for the quality of vehicle that was offered to me. The only consolation is it got us from point A to point B. 😊
