Do I really need to inspect a rental scooter before riding?

Yes. Even if the rental provider has already checked the scooter, doing your own inspection takes less than ten minutes and protects you from being held responsible for pre-existing damage.

What should I do if I find damage on the scooter before I ride?

Point it out to the rental staff immediately, take photos, and ask for the damage to be noted in writing before signing any agreement.

Is it safe to ride a scooter in Siquijor as a beginner?

Many beginners ride in Siquijor without difficulty. The roads are generally quiet. You should be comfortable with basic scooter controls before renting.

What happens if the scooter breaks down during my rental?

Pull over safely, turn on hazard lights, and contact your rental provider immediately with your location.

How do I check if the scooter tires are safe?

Press your thumb firmly into the tire — it should feel firm. Check for visible tread grooves, and look for cuts, bulges, or embedded objects.

Is a helmet required when riding in Siquijor?

Yes. Helmet use is required by law in the Philippines under the Motorcycle Helmet Act.

What are the most common road hazards in Siquijor?

Common hazards include loose gravel or sand, dogs crossing roads, slow-moving tricycles, rain-slicked roads, and tight mountain curves.

Can I pay for fuel with a card or GCash in Siquijor?

Cash is the most reliable payment method. GCash may be accepted at some larger stations but is not guaranteed. Card payments are rarely available. Always carry enough pesos to cover at least one full refill.

How far can I ride on one tank in Siquijor?

A standard 125cc scooter with a 4–5 liter tank can typically cover between 140 and 225 kilometers on a full tank. The full island loop is approximately 72 kilometers — well within the range of a single tank for most riders.

What should I do if I run out of fuel in Siquijor?

Move to a safe location and look for a nearby sari-sari store selling fuel by the bottle. Ask a local 'May gasolina po ba dito?' Contact your rental provider for guidance on the nearest fuel source.

A daily fuel budget of ₱200 to ₱400 covers most riding scenarios in Siquijor comfortably. Most travelers spend less than this, particularly if they're not completing the full island loop.

About This Service

Getting around Siquijor on your own can be stressful — especially if it is your first time on the island. Tricycles at the port are shared and slow. Renting a scooter is not for everyone. And finding a reliable private driver through social media is a gamble.

Kuya Megz Private Tours removes all of that uncertainty. He is a Siquijor local who has been driving tourists around the island for years. He knows every road, every shortcut, every good lunch spot and every photo angle worth stopping for. Touring with Kuya Megz feels less like hiring a service and more like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend.

SiquiRide has personally vetted Kuya Megz for reliability, communication and traveler satisfaction. Every rate on this listing is published upfront — no haggling, no surprises.

"Dali ra kaayo diri sa Siquijor — you just need someone who knows the way." — Kuya Megz

Full-Day Tour Rates (per vehicle)

Vehicle	Capacity	Full-Day Rate
🛺 Tuk-tuk	1–4 guests	₱2,000
🛻 Passenger Multicab	4–12 guests	₱3,500
🚐 Air-conditioned Van	Up to 8 guests	₱4,500

💡 All rates are per vehicle, not per person. A van tour at ₱4,500 split among 6 travelers = ₱750 per person — often cheaper than a shared group tour with far more flexibility.

🚢 Port Transfers

Arriving by ferry from Dumaguete, Cebu, or Tagbilaran? A private port transfer is the easiest way to reach your accommodation — especially if you have luggage, children, or an early arrival.

Destination	🚐 Van	🛻 Multicab	🛺 Tuk-tuk
Siquijor Town	₱600	₱500	₱400
San Juan	₱1,000	₱800	₱450
Larena	₱1,000	₱800	₱450
