Can you drive from Cebu City to Carigara, Leyte in the Philippines?

If so how long will the drive take and will you need to stop and stay in a hotel overnight?
Or what is the best way to transport a car purchased in Cebu to Carigara or Tacloban City?

You have at least 3 choices from Cebu City to Carigara. You will not need to stay overnight.

Cebu City to Ormoc City
Not really worth considering due to the cost. I believe it can cost up to P10,000 on this route. The boat ride will be about 5 hours then it is about 90 minutes to Carigara from Ormoc City. No need to turn off, it is a direct road from Ormoc City to Carigara. I have travelled on the RORO from Cebu City to Ormoc City but have not taken a car.

Bogo to Palompon
A previous poster mentioned 3 times per week to Palompon. I think what he really means is the Cebu City to Manila bus is 3 times per week. The RORO from Bogo to Palompon is every day. It leaves Bogo about 12 noon. It will take you up to 2.5 hours, depending on traffic from Cebu City to to the far side of Bogo for the RORO. Then the RORO is about 2.5 hours. Then the trip from Palompon to Carigara is up to 2 hours, via Villaba and Kananga. I have travelled on this RORO too but have not taken a car. I have travelled from Palompon to Tacloban via Carigara many times.

Danao to Isabel
This is the most common route. There is a morning and evening RORO. If the car is a Suzuki Scrum, it will cost at most P2,500 to transport it on the RORO. I have a friend with a heavier car who told me his car cost P2500 about 1 month ago. The trip to the pier in Danao, which is really closer to Carmen than Danao will take about 1 hour, maybe 90 minutes, depending on traffic. I don't know the crossing time. My furniture has crossed over on this RORO but I haven't. Expect about 3 to 4 hours. From Isabel, you will have about 40 minute trip to the turn off near Ormoc City then about 90 minutes from the turn off to Carigara. I have travelled from Isabel to Ormoc City many times.

I hope this helps!
