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.

The coordination was very easy and the car performed perfectly.Excellent service ���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.Personal and flexible plus great price! Changed my car delivery date a couple of times because of diving schedule problems, but Alfred Go was very accommodating and polite. He also responded to my questions and requests very promptly. Service and price were better than the big name car rental companies I have dealt with in the past. I will rent from them again without hesitation.Amazing service. Thankyou Bryan and Saferide Our experience with Saferide was excellent. They responded very punctually to my emails and enquiries. Most of our trips were completed by Bryan. He was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend Bryan and Saferide to other visitors to Cebu and we will certainly use them again when we return.We rented a car for a day to run errands in Tag. Our “car concierge” Russel was awesome. He delivered our rental right on time, and was very very nice. Although the rate was a bit higher than others, it included drop off and pick up of the car from our house in Alona Beach, something other car rental places charge 500 peso each ay for. Definitely recommend, and will rent from them again soon.Outstanding service from our driver Lucas, our driver, made our tour truly enjoyable with his helpfulness & friendly attitude.
