Poor Sense of Direction: Reason Why I Decided to Rent a Car

· Car Rental,Singapore,General Services

It is difficult to deny how impressive the public transportation system in Singapore is. Almost every bust stop and MRT station are connected, so it is very convenient. However, you might get confused if it is your first time travelling in Singapore. More so, when you are someone who has a poor sense of direction. Thus, to avoid any hassle, it would be best to get a private hire car rental. That was what I have done, and thanks to that, it was more manageable for me to get by when I first moved to Singapore. I would not have to worry about reaching the bus stop or MRT station every day to go to work.

Moving to Work in Singapore

The reason why I moved to work in Singapore was because of my boss. He told me that after a year of work, he would promote me as a branch manager. Though, before that, I have to impress our clients as well as our business partners in Singapore. Thus, I agreed since it would be such an excellent opportunity for my career growth. However, I was worried at first since I could not bring my car with me. You see, as I have mentioned before, I have a poor sense of direction that I often get lost even though I have been into a place a couple of times. Because of this, I was so reliant on the GPS on my smartphone whenever I drive. It came to the point that I wanted to ship my car to Singapore, but I cannot since it cost a lot of money, and I do not have the luxury to spend that much. There was also a time that I almost turned down the offer since there are no other options available for my dilemma. However, I could not afford to lose such an excellent opportunity since it would be my stepping stone for my promotion. Thus, in the end, I said yes.

A Friend’s Recommendation

Two weeks before I left my country, one of my college friends (who got married to this handsome Singaporean) advised me to rent a car in Singapore. She said that leasing a vehicle is much more affordable than buying a new one since cars in Singapore cost a fortune. It was a perfect option for me since I would not be staying in Singapore for good. After a year worth of work, I would go back to my home country and wait for my promotion. Thus, she recommended a couple of car leasing companies that her husband loves going to and helped me choose a suitable car for me. And out of all choices, ComfortDelGro Rent-A-Car was the one that left a favourable impression on me. Their employees are so social that I did not feel any pressure at all. I love how accommodating they are that they let their client browse their options. Thus, I chose to get a private hire car rental from them. It was an economical vehicle that was very convenient for daily use.

However, before I signed up for a year worth of private hire car rental, I chose to rent a car for a month. That way, I have my basis whether what I am paying for was worth it or not. Fortunately, after a month for rent, everything went smoothly, and there were no technicalities that happened, except for one time that I got stuck in traffic and got the left tire flatted. Good thing that I saved their number on speed dial and called them immediately. Back then, I thought they would not answer my call, but there was someone on a motorbike that stopped by. It was them. It was one of their employees that came to fix my left tire. From that moment, I decided that I am going to trust them since they were able to provide such excellent service after a month of car rental.

My Decision Was Right After All

It was indeed, choosing them was the right decision. Rending their private hire car rental services never failed to amaze. You see, there was not a time that I had trouble driving their vehicle around Singapore. Also, they are always on the go, ready to help anytime and anywhere. Most of all, what I loved the most about their vehicle was it has GPS. Because of that, I never miss a single meeting with our clients or business partners. Thus, if ever were to get a proposal such as this again, it would be my pleasure to accept it.

Should You Rent a Car or Not?

In my opinion, yes, you should rent a car in Singapore, especially if you have a poor sense of direction like me. Thanks to this option, I was able to get my promotion, too!

Thus, if you ever need a ride, but you cannot afford to buy a vehicle, rent a car in Singapore instead. I got mine at ComfortDelGro Rent-A-Car. So, if you are interested, visit their website today!
