The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Cebu are: BMW X3, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Daihatsu Terios, Nissan Pathfinder 4WD and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Philippines ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Philippines are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
We should also mention active use of sound signals. Local motorists can honk literally for any occasion. Drivers from other countries should also not forget to honk as in this country honking is considered the most effective (if not the only) way to communicate with other drivers.
Because of peculiar behavior of Filipinos and a huge number of cars on the road, traffic jams are simply inevitable. On the larger islands, they have become common during rush hours. Driving on roads of the capital faster than 15 km/h is simply impossible.
You will see a lot of fancy cars in the Philippine Islands. Not all local people have enough money to buy new cars, but no one gives up the opportunity to have their own vehicle. Local craftsmen collect cars from old parts, so new vehicles often look quite original.
