Find a driver in CebuCompare private drivers in Cebu. Choose from local drivers for the Kawasan Falls and Oslob loop, highland viewpoints, city tours and multi-day island trips — with vehicles, daily rates and driver profiles side by side.
Cebu stretches over 200 km from tip to tip, and its waterfalls, whale sharks and viewpoints are hours apart. A private driver with an air-conditioned car is how travellers see the island without losing days to buses.
Hiring a private driver in Cebu
Cebu's highlights run the length of the island: Kawasan Falls and the whale-shark town of Oslob are three to four hours south of the city, and the highland viewpoints sit in the hills above it. Public transport makes these days long and uncertain — a private driver with a car turns them into a single comfortable loop.
Full-day and half-day driver hire
A full day is normally around eight to ten hours and suits the south loop (Oslob plus Kawasan) or a highlands-and-city day; half-days work for the city sights and the Temple of Leah. Each driver sets their own daily rate, visible on their profile. The rate covers the vehicle, fuel and the driver's time; entrance fees, canyoneering and meals are separate.
Multi-day trips with the same driver
Travellers often keep the same driver for several days: the south loop, a highlands day, then the port for Bohol or the ferry to Siquijor. One agreed price, a car that follows your itinerary, and 15% off the daily rate on weekly bookings.
Why travellers hire a driver in Cebu
- Kawasan Falls and Oslob are a long way south — a driver makes the early start and the return easy.
- Whale-shark slots in Oslob run early morning; a booked driver gets you there on time.
- Booking several consecutive days with one driver earns 15% off the daily rate.
- Your driver waits at each stop, so dry bags and gear stay safe with the car.
