Car rentals Singapore

The immensely long flight from Canada to Singapore reveals a surprisingly enjoyable Asian city characterized by all things modern and a one-of-a-kind mix of cultures, comprised primarily of Malay, Indian, Chinese and Western peoples. Moreover, this tiny city-state has a lesser known and very beautiful natural side, which features excellent forest preserves and scenic coastline.

Highlights

Dotted throughout Singapore is an excellent range of hotels and world-class shopping venues, but one of its greatest attributes is the vast array of excellent cuisine abound. Both Chinatown and Little India have some of the richest flavours on offer. From there, visitors can hop on the MRT or utilize car rental to head to the lovely Bukit Timah Nature Reserve or MacRitchie Reservoir for some downtime in fantastic natural surroundings. By night, business and leisure travelers alike can check out top-notch cultural events at the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay while by day tourists can enjoy excellent attractions like the Singapore Botanic Gardens or the renowned the Asian Civilisations Museum.

Exploring by car

Many opt for public transport in Singapore, however car rental can be exceptionally advantageous as well, particularly for those with time constraints. Roads are in excellent condition and traffic is miniscule compared to most large Asian cities; however, unlike Canada, Singapore observes left-hand driving rules.

Tourist season and weather

Singapore sees visitors throughout the year, though figures spike during holidays like Chinese New Year, Christmas, Western New Year and the like. Be sure to compare car rental options and book in advance if you’re planning to rent during these periods. Weather remains hot and storms are frequent year-round due to the proximity to the equator. November, December and January typically see the most rain while May to July is typically a bit drier.
