Short-term car rental in Singapore now spans far more than the traditional counter at the airport. The companies below cover daily and weekly self-drive hire, chauffeur-driven options and app-based car-sharing you can book by the hour, from established international brands to homegrown operators and peer-to-peer platforms. Use the list to shortlist a few, then compare written quotes and terms before you book.

1. Avis Singapore

Avis is the Singapore arm of the global car rental brand, offering short-term self-drive hire from a single day up to several months across a fleet the company says ranges from economy cars to SUVs, MPVs and luxury and electric models. It runs a separate chauffeur-drive service for airport transfers and events, and takes reservations online. Avis states that vehicles can be collected and returned across its Singapore locations.

4. ComfortDelGro Rent-A-Car

ComfortDelGro Rent-A-Car is the car rental and leasing subsidiary of transport group ComfortDelGro, offering self-drive hire on a daily and short-term basis alongside its monthly and long-term leasing.

7. Tribecar

Tribecar is a car-sharing platform built around short bookings, letting members rent by the hour or day and unlock vehicles through its web and mobile app. The company says it runs more than 1,500 vehicles, including sedans, MPVs, SUVs and commercial vehicles, parked at neighbourhood locations near MRT stations and HDB blocks. Cars are collected from and returned to the same station.

8. GetGo

GetGo is an app-based car-sharing service for short, on-demand rentals billed by the hour and distance, with no deposit or membership fee according to the company. It says it operates more than 3,000 vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, vans and electric models, across well over a thousand locations islandwide. Each car includes a fuel card, and vehicles are returned to their original pickup point.

9. Drive lah

Drive lah runs a peer-to-peer marketplace where members rent cars from private owners for short periods, from a few hours to a day, through its iOS and Android app. The company describes itself as Singapore's largest car rental and sharing service and says listings span compact cars, sedans, SUVs and luxury models across many neighbourhoods. Rentals are covered by its Drive lah Protection cover, which it says is arranged with Tokio Marine and NTUC Income.

10. Singapore Car Rental

Singapore Car Rental offers daily self-drive hire across compact cars, station wagons, SUVs and MPVs, aimed at short-term needs from a single day upwards. The company says it provides island-wide delivery and collection at no extra charge, along with unlimited mileage and 24-hour breakdown and towing support. It also handles short-term leasing for longer requirements.

How to choose

  • Match the rental model to your trip: hourly car-sharing suits quick errands, while daily or weekly self-drive usually works out better for full days or road trips.
  • Check what the quoted rate includes, such as mileage limits, the fuel policy, insurance and any young-driver or additional-driver fees.
  • Confirm the damage excess or waiver and how much you would be liable for after an accident, and whether a deposit is required upfront.
  • If you plan to drive into Malaysia, verify that the company allows cross-border use and what paperwork or surcharge applies.
  • Inspect and photograph the car for existing damage at collection, and confirm the return location, timing and any late-return charges.
