The convenient way of airport transfers in Singapore

Driving in Singapore is fun, provided we take care of a few things.  Luckily Singapore offers us an opportunity to drive initially on the International driving permit ( IDP) issued in our native country by the subject authorized body.  So it is not like middle-east and the UAE where most of the IDPs are not recognized, and you have to go through a long and expensive way to get the local driving license. After completing one year of residency in Singapore, you are supposed to apply for a valid Singaporean driving license.

While driving in Singapore, you also need to keep a cash card handy, because at most of the parking lots and toll points, plastic money is the most convenient mode of payment. Many car rental companies in Singapore offer Preloaded cash cards, which mostly come with a preloaded amount of SGD50. You have to drive on the left side in Singapore.  Every passenger and the driver are required to use the seat belts, which is compulsory both for the front and the rear seats.  In Singapore using cell phones is not allowed while driving.  Headlights of your vehicle must be turned on between 7:00PM and 7:00AM.  

Car rental in Singapore works in a very customer-friendly manner, so during your Singapore airport transfer, after you collect your luggage, the rental agent booked by you would be waiting outside at custom clearance gate.  The rental agent will hand over the car to you in no time, and you would be enjoying the car-ride in Singapore to your chosen destination. Minimum age and duration that you possess your driving license varies according to the vehicle type that you choose to drive.  Car rental in Singapore charge continental administration fee while you travel to Malaysia, which is around SGD30 per day.

There are many car rental agencies in Singapore which allow booking your Singapore airport transfer from your own country.  On their websites you can choose your country and the payment etc. would be facilitated in your local currency.  You will also get the freedom to choose the vehicle and ensure its availability while your trip to Singapore.  On the website you can enter your arrival details, pick up and return time and date and it will display the quote in your local currency prior to actually booking your saloon or prestige car. There are always some best deals out there, which are less than SGD100 a day on some cars for a limited period. You can also try to avail those.
