About Renting a Car at Cagayan De Oro Airport

Laguindingan Airport (CGY) is located 46 km west of Cagayan de Oro centre, near the border between Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte. The airport opened in 2013 and replaced the older airport in the city. Two rental companies are on-site, making it easy to start your journey right from arrival.

Iligan City, famous for its waterfalls including Maria Cristina Falls, is 30 km to the west – approximately 45 minutes by car. CDO city centre can be reached via the National Highway in approximately 1 hour. Macabalan port in CDO, from which RoRo ferries depart to Cebu and Manila, is 50 km to the east.

Expect at least 1 hour to CDO city centre during rush hour – the motorway is narrow and heavy with trucks. Rent a car with GPS or download offline maps, mobile coverage is weak along parts of the route towards Iligan. Petrol stations are located at the airport exit and in Laguindingan town, 3 km away.

How long does it take to drive from CGY to CDO city centre? Normally 50–70 minutes (46 km) but allow up to 90 minutes in rush hour traffic on the National Highway. Can I drive directly to Bukidnon from the airport?

Yes, drive east towards CDO and then south on Sayre Highway – approximately 1.5 hours in total to Valencia City in Bukidnon. Is there a parking fee if I pick up a passenger at CGY? Yes, Laguindingan Airport charges a parking fee.

Short stops for pick-up are possible at the departure zone, but confirm current rules on-site.
