If you are driving to Surigao City but taking the ferry across to Siargao Island without your vehicle, you will need somewhere secure to leave your car, van, or motorcycle for the duration of your trip. Paid parking facilities near the port exist specifically for this — travelers heading to the island who do not want to bring a vehicle onto the ferry.
Why travelers use it
Bringing a car onto Siargao by ferry is possible but not always practical or necessary — many visitors get around the island by scooter, tricycle, or habal-habal instead, and would rather leave a mainland vehicle parked securely near the port than pay to ferry it across and have nowhere convenient to use it once there. Paid parking near Surigao City port solves that specific problem.
How it works
Parking operators near the port offer day-rate or multi-day parking for cars, motorcycles, and vans, with rates typically varying by vehicle type and how long you need the slot. Rather than arriving and hoping a lot has space, you can reserve a parking slot online in advance through our parking booking page, which shows real participating lots near the port along with their rates and availability.
What to bring and expect
Bring a valid ID and your vehicle's registration documents when you drop off your vehicle, since lots generally require this to release it back to you later. Confirm the exact drop-off location and hours with the lot before you travel, especially if your ferry departs very early or you expect to return late.
Planning the rest of your trip
Once your vehicle is parked, you can head to the port for your ferry crossing. If you have not already booked your ferry ticket, you can do that online too — see our guide to the Surigao City to Siargao ferry route for the full walkthrough of booking, schedules, and what to expect at the port.
