If you want an ultimate convenience while having a trip in Cebu, there are business enterprises that offer a rent a car/ van.  Be sure that you have a valid and authenticated driver’s license if you wish to drive by yourself.  Don’t forget to remember the traffic rules and regulations to avoid any violations.

Your first meter rate will be Php30 pesos and Php 2.50 in every succeeding meter.  There are some taxi drivers that will not use meter rate but instead ask for an amount that will be agreed by both parties especially if you will go to far away places in Cebu.  Be careful with those taxi drivers who will take advantage of the situation particularly if they see you as a newbie in Cebu.  Always prepare some small amount of bills for your transportation fare because there are other abusive taxi drivers will pretend that they don’t have any change for the hope that they will keep the change.  Most importantly if you’re a foreigner, ask the driver if he can speak English, get the plate number and the name of the driver just in case you left something valuable and be keen with the route he is heading.
