Singapore Car Rental – It is easy to hire a car in Singapore and most rentals are arranged over the internet. Prices can vary so it is a good idea to research a few companies before making a final choice. Overseas drivers must have an international driver’s license (some rental companies will accept a license from your home country so it is worth checking this when making the reservation). It is also advisable to familiarise themselves with driving regulations in Singapore and also to have a good road map to guide you. In Singapore, driver drives on the left side of the road.

Speed Limits in Singapore are expressed in kilometres. The maximum speed limit is 50km per hour in residential areas, and 90km per hour on the expressways. Unless there are signs that indicate there is no speed limit, it is very advisable to drive within the speed limits as it is heavily enforced. It is compulsory to wear seatbelts in any vehicle in which they are fitted. It is an offence to drive under the influence of alcohol.

Some roads have toll charges with additional charges on entering the Central Business District and on expressways, especially during peak hours.

Major and International Car Hire Companies are located at Singapore airport terminals and in downtown Singapore. Smaller independent and local owned companies also offer a wider range of cars, for examples MPVs and sport cars at competitive rates. Below are some of the major companies.
