Car hire at Singapore Changi Airport

To keep things simple for visitors, the rental agencies have the same operational hours as the airport, which is normally from 07:00 to 23:00. If you have a flight before or after these times, an out-of-hours fee is normally included in the quoted price on KAYAK. However, there are many amazing places to spend your time while you wait for the companies to open.

The car hire companies also provide free value-added services like enhanced cleaning, free cancellations within 48h of your booked time. Remember, the time used is the local time-zone, so make a note of the time difference. The companies also provide some limited insurance coverage, like collision cover and theft protection. We recommend adding extra insurance just to be safe. The agencies at Changi Airport accept e-vouchers, which saves you printing your confirmation. When you book you also receive instant confirmation.

Vehicles are rented for a 24h period, so try to return your car at the end of a full 24h period. To maximise your value for money, pick up and return the car at the same time you collected it. Some companies restrict free miles you can drive, and then charge you per mile after. Luckily, all the companies operating from Singapore Changi offer unlimited mileage.

The agencies require the following: a credit card, your booking confirmation, and the driver's licences of all the drivers. You also need an International Driving Permit and valid identifications.
