• Search for both airport and non-airport pickup outlet locations to be sure you’re getting the cheapest deal in town;
• If your vacation dates are not yet confirmed, try getting a better deal by choosing different days of the week in your search;
• Pickup and drop-off times generally need to be similar (e.g, both 10 a.m.) or you may be asked to pay for another full day;
• Some places reward you big time for paying upfront — keep an eye open for these deals;
• Last but not least, secure your favorite set of wheels as soon as possible to grab a load of savings!

Traveling to Singapore to cross off Universal Studios Singapore™ and National Orchid Garden? Now that’s a road trip of a lifetime! But you’ll need to consider exactly how you’ll get about. Driving in this mega metropolis can be daunting, so go for a smaller vehicle, like a mini or a compact car. You’ll be zooming past traffic and snatching car spaces like a pro in no time. If you’d rather leave the driving for outside the city, that’s OK with us too. Reserve something roomier and more comfortable, like a standard car, and discover the sandy shores of Asia.

You’ll be glad to know that there’s a huge variety of luxury vehicles to rent in Singapore. What you go with depends on how much you want to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to comfort and class. If you’re splashing out, why not book an elite SUV, or perhaps a stylish medium-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you just need a set of wheels to get you from A to B as economically as possible, maybe go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won’t burn a hole in your wallet).
