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.

It cost 500 pesos per day, though it seems there is a slight increase due to Easter. About 20 minutes after renting it, the handlebars felt strange, so I took it back. They immediately exchanged it for a new one and treated me kindly, so thank you. I plan to use your services again next time. ^^+1

(Translated by Google, see original)We rented a car for a week. A Toyota Wigo, automatic. We paid a deposit by credit card from Belarus. We picked up and dropped off the car at the airport outside of business hours, for which there was an extra charge. The car had minimal features: the mirrors are manually adjustable, the interior air conditioning can't be adjusted individually (for footwells, windshield, etc.). Driving at night with that level of tint was still difficult, as Cebu traffic is unusual—someone can get in and out of anywhere, and the tint further reduced visibility, making it difficult to see clearly in the dark to avoid hitting anyone or anything. Of course, if you hit anything, the 10,000 peso deposit is forfeited. I still don't understand how the included insurance works, but that's beside the point. We also drove outside of Cebu City, to Safari Park, Tops, and Osmena Village; the car barely made it up the hills. Next time we'd get something more powerful. A man named Khen dropped off and picked up the car. He completed all the paperwork; we paid, also by credit card, the remaining balance of the rental and the deposit; answered all our questions; recorded all the before/after videos; was in touch via messenger; and reminded us about the end of the rental. Good job! He only forgot to pay for parking at the airport: we started to leave, there was a barrier, they told us to pay, and we still didn't have a single peso, only currency, so we had to call him urgently. A minute later he returned, paid for parking, apologized, and we drove on. We had no incidents; the car was returned in one piece, only everything was covered in dust. The deposit was credited to the card a couple of days later.+0
(Translated by Google, see original)Awesome Car Rental Company This was the very first time I rented a car in my hometown of Cebu. I did an online search and came upon Safe Ride Car Rental Company. A few minutes after I sent an inquiry, I got an email response from Ariana who helped me through the process. We had a good conversation and she made the whole experience fun. On the day of pickup, Ariana and Kim gave me more tips and off I went to drive my subcompact car. They gave me a Toyota Wigo (a spanking brand new car fresh from the factory) and it was such a joy and a breeze to drive. The return process was also painless and easy. Kudos to the people at Safe Ride Car Rental! I will definitely book a car next time!Great Car Units To Use, Super Clean and Reliable! Quality Customer Service and Friendly Staff! Specially shout-out to RUSS for his high attention and professionalism!! Thank you for all your help!! Highly recommend their service. Keep up the excellent job guys! Kudos to all!!Super birthday getaway! My niece from AUS and her fiance were here for a quick vacay and it was also my birthday so we decided to go for a day trip to Moalboal since I have never been there even if I have been living in Cebu for 5years already. I’m so glad we went. I coordinated our trip with Michael, he’s our to go to driver if we need to rent a van (message me if you need a van for rent). He’s very dependable and he helped us book our island hopping trip. We went to 3 islands: first is Pescadores to go snorkel and see nice corals, then went to dive and see Sardine Run which is for me the highlight of the trip then to Turtle Point where we swam with big and gentle pawikans. My 11yr old deaf son enjoyed the trip so much that he learned to dive in the water to witness the sardine run under him. It cost us 2500 for the island hopping bt we gave extra tip for the boatmen because they did a good job with the tour. Don’t forget to bring essentials (sunscreen, tanning oils if you want to go dark, food and esp water). They also have free use of snorkels but you can also bring your own. And what’s so cool was that the guy who owns the bagka offered to lend us his gopro complete with monopod. It was such a lucky day becuase I left my case for my gopro so I was able to borrow from him.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 clean and new car and easy to communicate with the management despite the late arrival of the car. Would recommendgreat service!reliable and trustworthy.i am from the manila and happy with the t and c and driving here worry free with safe drive,dane was great enough to collect us from the airport was really nice to be great wit such a warm welcome,thanks daneExcellent and Affordable I rented Hyundai Eon MT with 16k mileage for 2 days during our visit in Cebu. I drove it to the whole city on our first day and on the 2nd day, to Oslob Cebu. Staff are very accommodating. Price are very affordable compare to other car rental. I have a few suggestion to the owner:1. It's better if your tinted cars (super black) have a better/high powered headlight rather than the stock light. You may want to upgrade to LED or something like that. It's very hard for me to drive during the night especially when I drove to Oslob at 3am.2. Have a proper maintenance of the car. The car I rented has no washer fluids. I always used this when ever my the windshield gets dirty.Overall, I am still satisfied with their service. I will definitely rent a car to them again when I get back to Cebu.GREAT QUALITY I have rented a car from the Safe Ride car rental and tours and i must say that the overall quality is very great including the car, the condition of the car, as well as the care and concern of the staffs. I strongly suggest everyone who are interested to try.Outstanding service by Ronel and crew!Outstanding service from our driver Lucas, our driver, made our tour truly enjoyable with his helpfulness & friendly attitude. The car we drove in was very clean. Highly recommend!I highly recommend this company. Dane could provide a good service for you.Verified
Quest Hotel - for its accessability Quest Hotel is affordable for a category of above average. Hotel staffs are kind, accommodating and hospitable wise. The lobby is spacious, the foods catered in the buffet has a wide variety of choices from Filipino, Japanese, Korean and European dishes.okay th vehicles were ok prices ok and service quite good but roads were treacherous and traffic is a nightmare sometimes taxis are better and cheaperSalamat kaayu sa good service!! highly recommended!! also thank you to our fun driver kuya Bryan..we had so much fun!!Good Service and Reliable Got to try Safe Ride 2x already and i am quite happy with their service.

Highly recommended, especially if you want a stress-free ride. Thank you, Saferide and Karl!Car rental Very good car rental, incredibly many nice cars to choose from.
