People depend on a car rental company when there are special events that call for an impressive car, whenever they need a bigger and sturdier vehicle for long trips, and of course when they travel abroad. Like in most global cities, in Singapore the car rent business is very organized, well-regulated, and continuously growing.
Renting a vehicle has become very convenient as clients can book by phone, online, or simply through walking-in. Most companies just require their clients to have a valid Singapore Class 3 driver’s license or an international license for foreign travelers.
Renting a car entails making a reservation which should be done at least a week prior to the trip. While it is possible to simply walk into the rental company and choose and drive the car of your choice, this is not advised particularly for those traveling in groups especially during summer vacation and holiday season.
Reserving a vehicle is as easy as booking a hotel room. You just need to supply necessary details such as the start and end time of the vehicle use and the preferred pick up and return points. Most car rental companies charge by day or for every 24 hours, but there are also discounted deals for rentals on multiple days during weekends or weekdays.
Companies replace vehicles in cases of breakdowns without charge as long as it’s proven that the driver is not at fault. Take note that breakdowns caused by neglect calls for additional charges for repair and replacement of parts. All violations related to traffic and parking will also be shouldered by the client.
While search engines and classified ads are there to make renting easy, be a smart shopper and investigate on the background of the company before making a formal inquiry. Before sticking to one rental provider, make sure that you have gathered several proposals from different companies and weighed out their pros and cons. Get recommendations from family members and friends; compare prices and perks, and read reviews and feedbacks.
