– YES, of course. As a fully registered and accredited Rent a Car Company, we issue a receipt for every payment you make. It is also a legal requirement. Stay away from companies who don’t issue Official Receipts! We are in business since 2015, also during pandemic and we are still here for you.

 

Where is your showroom or office location?

– Established in 2015, our Office location is in Mandaue and Talamban, while our Pickup Location is centrally located in Casuntingan Mandaue, right between Airport and Cebu City Center. You pass it whether you go to City or Airport. As a car rental, unlike a car dealership, we don’t make our money by showing cars in a showroom, hoping that you may buy. We earn money when our cars are moving because customers renting them. That’s why we have no so called show room. We have detailed original pictures of our car fleet on our website for you to choose your perfect car. Just approach us with whatever inquiry. We are 24/7 available for you by online chat and Whatsapp or phone call. It’s another advantage against a traditional 9 to 7 operating showroom or office where you surely would get disappointed if it’s closed or during lunch break etc.

 

Where is your Pickup / Return Location?

– Our Pickup locations are in Talamban and especially Mandaue. They are accessible and centrally located right between MCIA and Cebu City Center for your convenience. By Grab or Taxi from Airport you reach them for approx. 250-300P within 20-25 minutes. Of course, we can also deliver any car to any point in Cebu / Mactan for a reasonable fee.

 

Do I have to pay upfront when i book it?

– We offer both. Special discounted online rates with prepayment by Credit Card or GCash with little to no help or intervention by our customer service and reward it with low rates. Also, by prepaying it, we have a lower cancellation / no show risk and reward it with extra low rates. Of course, you can pay your car when you pick it up or have it delivered. In such a case you just make the Security Deposit Payment / Down Payment. The rates are, due to the higher risk of no show that we carry, of course a bit higher, the same as when you book it by phone or email, since our Customer Service staff has to be paid as well in such a case. We think that’s fair play. Our Risk: Higher rates for you. Your Risk: Lower profit for us and lower car rental rates for you!

 

Will I get my Security Deposit back and when?

– Your Security Deposit of actually 3000P is to cover damages on the rented vehicle, return in a unclean condition, cigarette smoke odor or lower gasoline level than on receipt of the car. If there is no case of deduction, you get your deposit back in cash the moment you return the car. This is for initial cash payments of rental fee and deposits. If payment has been made by card etc., it can take depending on involved banks, issuing countries up to 2 weeks. In any way there is no deduction without a receipt and we act on your behalf to expedite deposit returns.

 

Will I be charged if i book online, choose Cash on Delivery and then change my mind or don’t show up?

– YES, of course. Every car booking means that the booked unit is not available for anyone else on your rental dates / period. If you cancel or in worst case don’t show up, we experience a loss of income and charge you for it according to our General Terms and Conditions. If you change your mind or your travel plans are changing due to flight delays or cancellations, we always can adjust the rental period or simply rebook it, usually without fees. In case of no-show or cancellation without proper communication or for reasons out of our control or mistake, we follow our demand through to the fullest extent of the legal bandwidth as we don’t want our good and paying customers to pay the price in form of price raises due to this kind of irresponsible / fraudulent actions.

Are all Rates inclusive of an Insurance?

– Yes, of course. All our cars come with our Comprehensive TPL Auto Insurance so that all 3rd party damages are completely covered! We don’t offer a supplementary CDW (Car Damage Waiver) on demand since the rates are extremely high and most of our renters have this Insurance included in their Credit Card arrangements and Insurances. We want you to pay only for what you really need.

 

What if i return the Car earlier or like to extend?

– You can return your rented vehicle anytime as early as you like, but there is no refund for unused days simply because we block a car for your total rental period and reject other potential customers during this period and it’s unlikely to rent out the car to someone else on short notice.

– If you like to extend your rental, just call or message us. If the car isn’t rented right after your return or the following days, we are happy to accommodate you. In worst case we exchange the unit to another, available unit during your desired extension period. Talk to us.
