Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO) is Mindanao's largest airport, located 12 km northeast of Davao City center. With four rental companies on-site, it's easy to start exploring southern Mindanao right from landing. The airport serves one of the Philippines' fastest-growing cities.

Davao center, with Aldevinco Shopping Center and People's Park, is reached in 20–30 minutes. Mount Apo, the Philippines' highest peak (2,954 m), lies 60 km to the west and is the starting point for trekking. Eden Nature Park in Toril, 30 km south of the airport, offers cool mountain air and views over Davao Gulf.

The airport is close to the Lanang district with hotels and shopping centers – a good alternative to driving into the city center directly. Check if your rental company also has an office in Davao center in case you want to return the car at a different location. Davao has strict no-smoking and no-drinking policies in public places – respect local rules.

How long does it take to drive from DVO to Davao center? Normally 20–30 minutes (12 km), but traffic along Diversion Road can extend the journey to 45 minutes during rush hour. Can I drive to General Santos City from DVO?
