Scooter rental in Alona Beach
Alona Beach is where most visitors to Panglao stay, and a scooter is the easiest way to leave the beach strip for Dumaluan, Doljo, the Hinagdanan cave or Tagbilaran. On EXPATS PH you ask once and local owners bring the bike to your resort or guesthouse in Alona, Tawala or Danao.
This is the short-stay page: two days to two weeks, delivery to the hotel, and a quick handover in the parking lot. If you are staying a month or more, the monthly rental page has better rates.
What delivery to Alona looks like
- You give the resort name and the time; the owner meets you at the entrance or reception. Many resorts on the Alona strip do not allow bikes inside, so handover is at the road.
- Delivery is often free from two or three rental days; for a single day some owners add a small fee or ask you to collect the bike in Tawala.
- At handover you check the bike together: lights, horn, brakes, tyres, scratches. Take photos; serious owners do the same.
- Return is at the same place or at the airport or pier if agreed in chat.
How it works
- Send a request: dates, where you are staying (Alona, Dauis, Tagbilaran or elsewhere on Panglao Island), the kind of bike you want and whether you need delivery.
- Owners reply with bikes and prices: you see the model, the daily or monthly rate, the deposit and the delivery option, with photos.
- Agree in chat: confirm the bike, settle the handover time and the documents, and pay the owner directly at handover.
