None of the suppliers at Cebu Mactan Airport currently have enough recent reviews for a customer score, so choice comes down to price and desk location. Alamo and Enterprise share the lowest rate at $63 a day for a Compact car, while National averages $74. All 4 desks sit directly in the terminal, meaning you bypass shuttle buses entirely. Every counter enforces a credit-card-only rule for the security deposit.

You cannot use a debit card for your deposit at Cebu Mactan Airport, where Europcar holds a typical $159 on a credit card and all 4 desks refuse debit cards. Every desk requires a credit card in the main driver's name for the deposit. Alamo, Enterprise, and National also operate at the airport alongside Europcar, but none of them permit debit cards at pickup.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The primary trap at Cebu Mactan Airport is arriving with only a debit card, because all 4 counters require a credit card in the driver's name. Turning up without one means leaving the counter on foot, though on these crowded island roads you might occasionally make faster progress that way. All desks are situated in the terminal, saving you an off-airport transfer. Keep your vehicle small, as narrow island lanes and halting jeepneys make larger models awkward to manoeuvre.

Fuel is full tank out, full tank back on 100% of prices at Cebu Mactan Airport, so there is no fuel charge to be surprised by.

An Economy car like the Hyundai Accent costs around $42 a day at Cebu Mactan Airport in October 2026, making it the sensible baseline for small groups. It seats 5 but holds 2 bags, so a larger party with full luggage should step up to an Intermediate Nissan Almera at $42, which takes 4 bags. Automatic models make up 92% of all cars offered, though an automatic Compact averages $67 a day against $47 for a manual, costing $20 more a day. There are no electric or hybrid cars offered at the airport, so plan entirely on petrol.
