Getting in and around the island of Mactan, Cebu can be done through various types of transports. There are the public jeepneys, boats, vans and taxis. However, if you want a more convenient travel experience, the best transport option for you is to rent a car. For those new in the province, it must be noted that rent-a-car services usually come with a driver. But of course, if you insist on renting only the car, without the driver, you can get a driver-free deal. Cebuano rent-a-cars are usually operated by car owners who are connected to a rent-a-car company. Those thinking of renting a car are advised to raise questions if confused and read the fine prints of contracts because just like in many rent-a-car companies, the charges can be a bit ambiguous.

Meanwhile, if you want to have a taste of the real transport culture of the island (which reflects the state of public transportation in the whole Philippines as well) try to take a jeepney. The jeepney is actually the major form of public transport in the country, like the bullet trains in Japan. It is a box-shaped vehicle with an entrance on the rear and two, long parallel seats, in which passengers sit facing each other. These vehicles are often decorated with an assemblage of décor, lights and colour. Each has a designated route (at set fares) which it follows around the whole day. Riding the jeepney, you will get to experience the ebb and flow of the Filipinos. More than taking you from one place to another, you get to feel passenger camaraderie and a unique travel experience.
