The 10 Best Car Rental in Singapore

Reliable car rental options in Singapore, from premium self-drive fleets to app-based hourly cars.

Reviewed by our editors · Updated July 2026 · How we rank

Our verdict: Ace Drive is the best car rental in Singapore right now - best for premium and occasion-ready rentals. ETHOZ runs it closest.

Choosing a car rental company in Singapore is less about finding the cheapest headline rate and more about matching the rental model to your trip. For airport arrivals, weekend family use, corporate replacement cars, or wedding transport, a traditional rental or leasing company usually gives clearer handover, insurance terms, and vehicle class certainty.

For short errands, hourly car sharing can be more convenient because vehicles are parked around HDB estates, MRT nodes, and neighbourhood carparks. Always compare excess liability, fuel or charging rules, mileage limits, late-return fees, and whether the car must be returned to the same location.

Ace Drive
89/100
Premium self-drive and chauffeur rentals with a strong luxury and wedding car focus.
acedrive.sg
$$$$ price range
“Best for premium and occasion-ready rentals.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Ace Drive earns the top spot for customers who want a rental to feel properly managed, not merely transactional. It is especially strong for luxury self-drive, bridal cars, and chauffeur-backed bookings, where presentation and coordination matter. The practical trade-off is price: value hunters renting a basic compact for errands will find cheaper options elsewhere. For occasions, executive use, and renters who want confidence in vehicle condition and handover, it remains one of Singapore's more dependable premium choices.
Why Ace Drive made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Selected for its strong reputation in premium rentals, breadth across self-drive and chauffeur use cases, and relevance to high-stakes bookings such as weddings and corporate transport.
Ace Drive is a Singapore car rental company best known for premium self-drive, chauffeur, corporate, and wedding car rentals. Its fleet positioning is more upscale than a typical budget rental desk, with options aimed at customers who care about presentation, vehicle condition, and specific model categories. The company is commonly considered for weddings, business hosting, special occasions, and drivers who want a better-than-basic rental experience. It is not the cheapest choice in the market, but it serves a clear niche for polished rentals where service and car image matter.

ETHOZ
87/100
Established fleet rental and leasing provider for corporate and long-term users.
ethozgroup.com
$$ price range
“Most dependable for corporate and longer rentals.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
ETHOZ is a practical editor's pick for renters who want stability, documentation, and fleet depth. It feels built for businesses and serious long-term users: less flash, more process. The advantage is reliability and a broader mobility ecosystem around leasing and fleet management. The trade-off is that leisure renters looking for a quick weekend deal may find the experience more corporate than cosy. For companies and drivers who need continuity, it is one of the safest names to shortlist.
Why ETHOZ made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Chosen for its scale, corporate credibility, and ability to support rental and leasing needs beyond one-off consumer bookings.
ETHOZ is a long-established Singapore mobility and financing group with vehicle rental, leasing, fleet management, and commercial vehicle services. Its car rental business is geared towards structured, longer-use needs rather than impulse hourly rental, making it suitable for companies, expatriates, replacement vehicles, and drivers who want a professionally maintained fleet. The brand has a broad business infrastructure behind it, including fleet operations and vehicle support, which gives it credibility with corporate customers. It is less lifestyle-led than boutique rental firms, but that is also its strength.

ComfortDelGro Rent-A-Car
86/100
Transport group-backed rental and leasing with a sizeable Singapore fleet.
cdgrentacar.com.sg
$$ price range
“Strongest large local transport-backed option.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
ComfortDelGro Rent-A-Car is not the trendiest name in the category, but it has the kind of operational backbone many renters actually need. The group understands vehicles, maintenance, and transport logistics at Singapore scale. That makes it a sensible pick for replacement cars, corporate arrangements, and straightforward longer rentals. The trade-off is that the experience can feel more formal than smaller independents. For renters who want a known local operator with serious transport credentials, it deserves a top-three place.
Why ComfortDelGro Rent-A-Car made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Ranked highly because it combines a trusted Singapore transport brand with practical rental and leasing services for individuals and businesses.
ComfortDelGro Rent-A-Car is the rental and leasing arm of one of Singapore's most recognisable transport groups. Its appeal lies in institutional backing, fleet management experience, and familiarity with Singapore road operations. The company serves private motorists, companies, and replacement vehicle needs, with a more conventional rental and leasing model than app-based car sharing. It is a strong option for renters who value accountability and established processes over novelty. Its brand strength also helps reassure customers who prefer dealing with a large local transport operator.

Lion City Rentals
85/100
Large local rental company known for private-hire and long-term vehicle supply.
lioncityrentals.com.sg
$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Lion City Rentals is best understood as a workhorse rental provider. Its strength is serving drivers who need cars for recurring, income-generating, or longer-duration use. That makes it more useful than a holiday rental brand for many Singapore residents. The honest trade-off is that it may not feel as polished for casual weekend renters or tourists. For private-hire drivers and customers who care about rental continuity, it is a serious player with real local relevance.
Why Lion City Rentals made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Included for its strong presence in Singapore's long-term and private-hire rental segment, where fleet availability and practical packages matter most.
Lion City Rentals is a Singapore vehicle rental company closely associated with private-hire and long-term car rental needs. It has been a visible name in the local rental market, particularly for drivers who need a vehicle for platform work or extended use rather than a short leisure booking. The company is relevant for customers comparing weekly or monthly rentals, business use, and practical models with predictable operating costs. It is less suited to travellers who want airport-style counter service, but strong for high-usage local drivers.

Avis Singapore
84/100
International rental brand suited to travellers, corporate users, and airport-style bookings.
avis.com.sg
$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Avis is a sensible choice when predictability matters more than chasing the lowest rate. International travellers know the format, companies can work with familiar rental procedures, and the booking process is generally easier to understand than many small-fleet operators. The trade-off is value: local independents can be more flexible or cheaper for longer rentals. Still, for visitors and corporate users who want a recognised brand in Singapore, Avis remains one of the safer mainstream options.
Why Avis Singapore made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Selected for its international reputation, traveller-friendly booking flow, and usefulness for corporate and visitor rentals in Singapore.
Avis Singapore brings a global car rental format to the local market, making it useful for travellers, business visitors, and customers who prefer an internationally recognised booking process. Its strengths are brand familiarity, online reservations, corporate account compatibility, and clearer expectations around rental classes and add-ons. It is a conventional rental choice rather than a neighbourhood car-sharing solution. Pricing can be higher than smaller local operators, especially for short-notice or premium bookings, but the structured process is valuable for overseas visitors and business users.

Hertz Singapore
83/100
Global car rental name with familiar booking standards for visitors and businesses.
hertzsingapore.com
$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Hertz works best for renters who want the standard international car rental experience in Singapore. The brand is familiar, the model is straightforward, and it is easier for overseas customers to understand than many local-only operators. The trade-off is that rates and add-ons need careful checking, especially against local alternatives. For corporate visitors, expats, and travellers who prize a recognised process, Hertz is still a credible shortlist option.
Why Hertz Singapore made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Chosen for global brand trust, established rental procedures, and relevance to visitors who want familiar car hire standards in Singapore.
Hertz Singapore is part of the well-known international rental ecosystem, serving customers who prefer a familiar global brand for car hire. It is a good fit for business travellers, expatriates, and visitors who want conventional rental terms, reservation records, and recognised vehicle categories. The brand is not aimed at hyperlocal hourly use, and it will not usually compete with neighbourhood car-sharing prices. Its value is in structure, recognisability, and the comfort of dealing with an established rental format when travelling or arranging business transport.

SIXT Singapore
82/100
International mobility brand offering conventional car rental options in Singapore.
sixt.com.sg
$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
SIXT brings a more contemporary international rental feel to the Singapore shortlist. It is useful for customers who already know the brand from Europe or other travel markets and want a recognisable reservation experience. The benefit is clarity and a generally polished brand presentation. The trade-off is that Singapore residents needing a cheap practical runabout may get better value from local rental firms or car sharing. For travellers, it is a strong conventional choice.
Why SIXT Singapore made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Included for its international mobility reputation, polished booking experience, and suitability for travellers seeking a recognised rental brand.
SIXT Singapore is the local presence of the German mobility and car rental brand. It appeals to renters who like modern online booking, international brand standards, and a more premium-leaning rental identity. SIXT is generally better suited to travellers, business users, and customers who want a straightforward rental reservation rather than app-based hourly access. As with other international brands, the main consideration is price versus local alternatives. It is a reputable option when brand familiarity and booking clarity are important.

Tribecar
81/100
App-based hourly car sharing with broad neighbourhood access and varied vehicle types.
tribecar.com
$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Tribecar is useful because it solves a very Singapore problem: needing a car for a short window without owning one. It is often more convenient than travelling to a rental office, especially when a nearby car is available. The trade-off is consistency, since app-based shared cars depend heavily on previous users and clear damage reporting. For short errands and flexible neighbourhood access, it is one of the more relevant non-traditional rental options.
Why Tribecar made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Selected for its established local car-sharing role, practical hourly access, and usefulness to residents who do not need a full-day rental.
Tribecar is a Singapore car-sharing operator offering short-term rentals through an app-based model. It is known for practical access across neighbourhoods and for serving drivers who need cars by the hour rather than by the day. The platform is commonly considered for errands, short appointments, and flexible local use, with vehicle categories that can include everyday cars and other practical options. It is not the same experience as a cleaned handover from a rental office, so renters should inspect vehicles carefully and understand excess charges.

GetGo
80/100
Large app-based car-sharing platform with vehicles across many Singapore neighbourhoods.
55 Ayer Rajah Crescent, #07-12/26, Singapore 139949
getgo.sg
$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
GetGo scores highly on convenience. For many Singapore residents, the main advantage is simply finding a car near home without visiting a rental counter. The app-first process and large location network make it one of the easiest ways to access a car for a few hours. The trade-off is the same issue across car sharing: damage disputes and excess terms can be stressful if users do not document the vehicle properly. It is excellent for short, planned local use.
Why GetGo made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Chosen for its scale, neighbourhood accessibility, and strong relevance to short-duration rentals for Singapore residents.
GetGo is one of Singapore's most visible car-sharing platforms, with an app-based model built around neighbourhood pick-up and return. It is designed for residents who need a car for errands, family visits, appointments, or short trips without paying a traditional rental deposit. The platform has become known for wide location coverage, digital onboarding, and fuel-inclusive booking logic. As with all shared-car platforms, renters should be careful with pre-trip inspection, accident excess, and return rules before starting a booking.

Flexar
79/100
Point-to-point car-sharing service relaunched from the former BlueSG operation.
48 Changi South Street 1, Singapore 486130
flexar.sg
$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Flexar is interesting because it brings back the point-to-point idea that made BlueSG distinctive, but with a reset rather than a simple continuation. The strongest use case is short city movement where returning to the original carpark is inconvenient. The trade-off is maturity: coverage, fleet availability, and customer habits are still settling compared with older operators. It is worth considering for flexible urban trips, but not yet the most proven choice for critical bookings.
Why Flexar made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Included for its current point-to-point car-sharing model, recognised BlueSG lineage, and potential usefulness for short urban rentals.
Flexar is the relaunched car-sharing service from the BlueSG team, now operating with a point-to-point model and a refreshed fleet mix. Its main appeal is the ability to pick up and return cars at designated locations rather than using a traditional rental counter. This makes it relevant for short urban trips where route flexibility matters. The brand is still newer in its current form compared with older rental companies, so customers should pay close attention to current station coverage, pricing, and usage rules before relying on it for time-sensitive plans.

Car Rental in Singapore - your questions

What should I check before renting a car in Singapore?

Check the insurance excess, deposit, mileage cap, fuel policy, late-return charges, and whether Malaysia use is allowed. Take photos of the car before driving off.

Is car sharing cheaper than traditional car rental?

It can be cheaper for short trips of a few hours. For full-day use, road trips, or family travel, a traditional rental may offer better value and clearer support.

Can tourists rent cars in Singapore?

Yes, but requirements vary. Most companies ask for a valid driving licence, passport or ID, credit card, and sometimes an International Driving Permit depending on licence country.

Do Singapore car rentals include insurance?

Most include basic insurance, but the excess can be high. Read the damage, accident, and third-party liability terms carefully before booking.
