Is it your first time travelling and renting a car here in Singapore? Have no worries, renting a car is easy as 1, 2, 3!
Here are 6 important car rental tips for beginners.
1. Avoid additional charges from the airport
Sometimes, an airport will provide you with additional charges just for picking you up with a car after arriving from a flight. It might be convenient, but it’s also usually more expensive so avoid this at all costs and rent a car in Singapore instead.
2. Do your research
Before going on a trip, it’s highly recommended to do some research on car rentals first. You might discover a few worthy rental deals once you arrive in Singapore.
3. Choose the right vehicle
Choose the right vehicle for the occasion, especially if you’re travelling alone, with family, or with friends. Choose the car that’s easy to drive and will accommodate all passengers comfortably.
4. Refill the tank before returning the car
Prepaid gasoline plans are more expensive than filling the tank yourself. Gas up your car before returning it to the car rental to avoid any additional charges.
5. Bring extra supplies
Some car rentals will offer you additional options that include a GPS and a radio. Avoid the additional costs and bring your own navigation system instead!
6. Avoid off-roading
Some agencies don’t allow their cars to be driven off-road, so it’s safe to avoid off-roading altogether to avoid any issues. Drive your rental car on paved roads instead.
While this guide is for first-time car renters and tourists in Singapore, it also applies to car rental in general. Know more about your daily car rental agency and know more about their policies to avoid any issues in the future.
