Here's your inside scoop on when to book. Around two weeks in advance is when you're most likely to find the best price on a Singapore car hire.
Browse the offers available with Avis, Sixt and Green Motion. They're some of the most well-known providers in the city.
The coverage Avis or another company offers for your Singapore car rental can vary, so always read the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge extra for it.
Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to land a good deal if the provider needs to shift vehicles between branches. Discover the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'
Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.
Want to explore freely without stressing about how many miles you clock up? Search for rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and travel as far as you like without the extra fees.

Good to know
Rental age requirements generally aren't a one-size-fits-all. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could pay extra and face some limits. Check the exact rules for each supplier before booking your rental in Singapore.
Add a car seat to your Singapore car rental reservation if you're bringing the kids. Regulations change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest approach.
You'll be asked for some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring a valid driver's license, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.
Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And don't forget to stick to the left side of the road in Singapore.
Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 85kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Singapore is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the only way to be sure you're safe to drive is to avoid drinking.
One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 8am. Make life easier by steering clear of rush hours in general.
You'll be using the Singapore Dollar (SGD) on your trip here. In addition to your credit and debit cards, consider having some cash handy for smaller purchases.
