Although we can travel almost everywhere in Singapore using our sophisticated public transport system, we still love to rent or lease a car for convenience, business purposes, or just a simple reason – moving in style.
And renting a car in Singapore is pretty easy because there are many car leasing service providers, including top-tier international companies like Budget or Hertz. However, renting from these famous names can cost you quite a bit more than renting from local services.
Luckily, Singapore has plenty of lower-budget car leasing services, so if you’re looking to get into a smaller, somewhat less luxurious car at a great price, you’ve got many options. We’re going to take a look at five of Singapore’s best budget car rental services [updated 2023] and talk about the benefits, renting information, and cost of each choice.
