How much does it cost to rent a motorbike in the Philippines?

Renting a motorbike in the Philippines is one of the most affordable ways to get around. Prices as of 2026 start from 350 Philippine pesos per day (about $7). For this money, you can get a simple, not new scooter. A newer and more reliable motorbike will cost 500-600 pesos ($10-12) for 24 hours.
The price is usually quoted for a full day, but at some resorts, there may be separate rates for day (12 hours) and night. If you plan to rent a vehicle for several days or a week, be sure to bargain and ask for a discount. Locals often initially quote an inflated price, expecting to haggle.
Life hack on how to bargain: Don't say directly "give me a discount." It's better to ask: "Is there anything cheaper?" They will either offer you another, more budget-friendly bike, or lower the price on the one you like.
There is one notable exception - the island of Boracay. There, due to high popularity and a peculiar "taxi mafia," rental prices soar to 1500-2500 pesos ($30-50) per day, and bargaining there is practically useless.
When renting, as a deposit on large islands, they usually ask to leave a passport or any photo ID. On small islands, a photocopy or even a photo of the passport on your phone is often enough.
