Bringing a Car to Siquijor — RORO Ferry Guide & Vehicle Rates
Yes — you can bring a car or motorcycle to Siquijor, but only on a RORO (Roll-On Roll-Off) ferry. The fast craft (OceanJet) cannot carry vehicles. This guide covers the Montenegro Lines RORO from Dumaguete, vehicle rates, booking, arrival ports and what to expect on the island.
Last Verified: August 2026. Vehicle rates and schedules change seasonally and can be affected by weather or operational adjustments. Always confirm directly with the operator before you travel.
⚡ 30-Second Answer
Yes, you can bring a car to Siquijor. Take the Montenegro Lines RORO ferry from Dumaguete — the only practical vehicle option. Car rates are roughly ₱1,430–₱1,690; motorcycles about ₱570–₱676. Book your vehicle slot in advance (space is limited), and the ferry arrives at Siquijor Town Port.
But do you need it? Siquijor is small (~72 km around) and most visitors explore by scooter. A car is useful for families, groups or mobility needs — but parking at waterfalls and beaches can be tight.

🧭 How to Bring Your Vehicle to Siquijor
- Book your vehicle slot in advance. Vehicle space on the RORO is limited, especially during peak season (Holy Week, summer, Christmas).
- Drive to Dumaguete Port. The Montenegro RORO departs from Dumaguete. If you're coming from elsewhere on Negros (e.g. Bacolod), the coastal road is scenic and well-paved.
- Arrive early. Vehicle loading takes extra time — arrive at least 1 hour before departure.
- Board and cross. The crossing takes about 1.5–2 hours, arriving at Siquijor Town Port.
- Fuel up in Dumaguete before crossing. Siquijor's fuel stations are limited and can run low during peak season.
⚠️ Confirm your arrival port. Montenegro Lines RORO typically arrives at Siquijor Town Port. Some conventional services arrive at Larena Port — the two ports are about 15–20 km apart. Confirm when booking.
🛣 Driving on Siquijor — What to Expect
- Small island, easy distances. The main coastal road loops about 72 km around the island.
- Roads are generally good. Paved coastal roads are fine for standard vehicles.
- Narrow routes to attractions. Some roads to waterfalls and beaches are narrow — drive with care.
- Limited parking. Parking near popular spots (Cambugahay Falls, Salagdoong) fills up during peak season.
- Fuel stations are limited. Plan your fuel stops; stations concentrate in Siquijor Town, San Juan and Lazi.
🛵 SiquiRide Field Notes — Bringing a Car
Last verified: August 2026 by the SiquiRide team
FI-0001 — Book the Vehicle Slot First: Vehicle space on the RORO is the scarcest resource on this route. Book your slot well before your travel date — during Holy Week and Christmas, slots fill weeks ahead. Don't assume walk-in availability.
FI-0002 — Arrive at Least an Hour Early: Vehicle loading is slower than passenger boarding. Give yourself at least 60 minutes at Dumaguete Port, and be ready for the vehicle to be loaded and secured before you board.
FI-0003 — Fuel Up in Dumaguete: Siquijor has few fuel stations and they can run low during peak season. Fill your tank in Dumaguete before crossing — you'll want a full tank to explore the island loop.
FI-0004 — A Scooter Is Often Simpler: If you're a solo traveler, couple or light packer, renting a scooter on Siquijor is usually more practical than bringing a car — no ferry booking, no parking hassles, and it's cheaper per day. Reserve one before you arrive.
FI-0005 — Bring Your Vehicle Documents: Carry your vehicle's OR/CR (registration) and your driver's license — you may be asked for them at the port and at checkpoints on the island.
