Trusted rental brands such as Avis, Sixt and Green Motion are popular picks for car hire deals in Singapore.
The coverage Avis or another company includes with your Singapore car hire can vary, so always read the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge a fee for it.
Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to finding a deal. Simply click 'Return car to a different location' when searching for a car for rent in Singapore. Providers sometimes have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can score some excellent one-way prices.
Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car hire in Singapore with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No hidden refueling charges at drop-off either.
Hit the highway without watching the miles and racking up additional fees. Go to the 'Policies' filter and pick 'Unlimited mileage' to find a ride that lets you roam without limits.
If your plans involve jetting into Singapore, you might like to avoid the city pickup and book one of the car rentals in Changi International Airport instead. Alternatively, browse the lineup of car rentals in Seletar Airport if that's where your journey starts.
