5 Things to Know Before Renting a Car this Pandemic

As COVID-19 circuit breaker ends, businesses are reopening and public transportation resume operations. Thus, the question remains, is it safe to use public transportation?  Yes, but it is still a susceptible location for virus transmission. To reduce that chance from happening, the safest and efficient way to travel in Singapore is to rent a car. Here are the things you should know before renting one.

1. Bring All the Necessary Requirements

In Singapore, before you can rent a car, you should bring first your driving license, along with your National Registration ID or passport (for foreigners).

2. Inspect the Car Condition

Once done, you should always inspect the car’s condition from exterior to interior, so you will not take responsibility for other’s misuse of daily car rental. Also, do not forget to ask about their cleaning and disinfecting protocols to ensure the car is virus-free. 

3. Familiarize Yourself

Just so you know not all cars are the same, there is a chance the car model you drive back home or years ago is not the same one you will be renting out today. So, before driving out, take some time to familiarize yourself with the car’s functions like the air conditioner, lights, handbrakes and more. 

4. Know What Kind of Fuel It Uses

Also, before you can hire any private car rental, make sure you know what type of fuel does the car uses and what level it has. Why? Some car rental companies oblige their customers to refill the same amount of fuel when they checked out the vehicle in their premises. 

5. Return It On Time

At an uncertain time like this, car rental companies become stricter with their guidelines as they run on a tight precautionary measure. So, return the daily car rental on time or advise them if you are planning to extend your subscription.
