What I like:

  • Clear email communication
  • Options for weekly and monthly rentals
  • Airport transfers available

BlueLine Tacloban – Car Rental & Tours

๐Ÿ“ž 0955 872 3883

๐Ÿ“ Juan Luna St., Downtown Tacloban

Marco’s / MARCOS RFL Tacloban Rent a Car

๐Ÿ“ Real St., Tacloban City
๐Ÿ“ž 0918 663 2817

Well-reviewed locally and often recommended for self-drive rentals. They don’t always publish rates, but responses are usually quick.


ABY’s Rent-A-Car

Sample published rates:

  • Toyota Vios: ₱2,000/day
  • Toyota Innova: ₱3,500/day

  • Joanne Rent A Car (Abucay Terminal) – convenient pickup for north Tacloban

These smaller operators are often booked via Facebook and are surprisingly flexible.


๐Ÿ’ฐ What Car Rentals Really Cost in Tacloban

Here’s a realistic budget guide:

Vehicle Type

Typical Daily Rate

Economy sedan

₱1,500 – ₱2,500

SUV / MPV

₱2,800 – ₱3,800

Van (with driver)

₱4,500+

Driver add-on

+₱800₱1,200

Fuel is usually not included, and many rentals follow a full-to-full policy.


๐Ÿ“ Tips When Renting a Car in Tacloban

Ask if the price includes airport delivery – some do, some don’t
Confirm driver overtime rates if traveling long distances
Inspect and photograph the car before leaving
Book early during holidays – fleets are limited
Facebook Messenger is often faster than email for local providers


๐ŸšฆTacloban doesn’t have dozens of big rental brands—but what it does have are practical, people-run car rentals that work well if you know who to contact and what to ask.

If you’re planning a trip to Leyte or Samar, renting a car is worth it. It gives you freedom, saves time, and honestly makes the whole trip smoother.

If you want, I can:

  • Turn this into a shorter SEO version
  • Add affiliate-style call-to-action sections
  • Create a comparison table for corporate or school travel
  • Or update it once you’ve personally tried a provider

Just tell me how you want to use it ๐Ÿ’ฌ

    1. Hi Mosiah, thanks for your message. These car rentals did not pay me and it would be unfair if I ask you to pay just so I can add your company here. No need to pay me, just send me your company details and I will add it to the list. At kung gusto mo naman ng advertisement spot sa homepage so people will see it every time they visit my blog, let me know so we can discuss. Thank you!
