Turn up with only a debit card and the counter will refuse the keys, leaving you stranded with no alternative desk on site. While all counters are conveniently inside the airport terminal, island traffic makes larger cars harder to thread through busy lanes. Pick a smaller model to keep low-speed island driving manageable.

For most trips, choose an Economy car like the Hyundai Accent at Cebu Mactan Airport, which costs around £31 a day for October 2026. It seats 5 people but holds only 2 bags, which suits slower island driving where large vehicles become an awkward liability. Stepping up to an Intermediate Nissan Almera provides room for 4 bags at the same £31 a day, while a Compact Hyundai Tucson costs £49. Automatics make up 92% of cars offered, though an automatic Compact costs £15 more a day than a manual.
