We are all aware of the high standards of living in Singapore – so it is not necessary to own another financial liability, like a car. Possessing a car keeps you further from achieving financial freedom, but we cannot deny the draw of convenience it can offer. Luckily with these car-sharing options, you will just have to pay for what you use. Here is a comprehensive comparison of various service providers available to you:
Tribe Car is conveniently available at over 525 locations within walking distance from MRT and other transportation modes. It is also the only car-sharing platform that provides private hire insurance, for those of you private hire drivers! With the option of hourly or daily rental, you can book a car according to your needs – additionally, there is no need to pay any membership fees.
If you are looking to monetise your driving, consider joining the “Rent and Earn” programme. Via this programme, Tribe Car has partnered with several delivery providers such as Grab and Ninjavan.
