With Category A COE prices exceeding $100,000 and the true cost of owning a standard family car ballooning to roughly $244,000 over ten years, it is little wonder that more Singaporeans are rethinking whether car ownership makes sense at all.Â
Car sharing and carpooling services have matured considerably in recent years, and there are now more options than ever, from point-to-point electric rides to peer-to-peer hourly rentals and social carpooling on your commute.
Before diving in, it helps to know the difference between the two.Â
Car sharing means renting a vehicle by the hour (or minute) from a fleet maintained by a company: You book via app, unlock the car, drive, and return it.Â
Carpooling means sharing a ride in a private car where the driver is already going in your direction, with fares set to cover costs rather than generate profit. B
oth are regulated by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), but the rules and use cases are quite different.
Here is every active service in Singapore in 2026.
GetGo
GetGo is Singapore’s largest carsharing service, with a fleet of over 3,000 vehicles across more than 1,700 locations islandwide, most of them in HDB carparks, typically within a five-minute walk from home.Â
Launched in 2021, the platform has accumulated over 500,000 registered drivers and completed more than eight million bookings as of April 2026.
It operates on a point A-to-A model, meaning you collect the car from a designated lot and return it to the same spot.Â
Fuel, maintenance, and insurance are included in every booking.Â
No membership fees or security deposit are required, you register via MyInfo and pay only for what you use.
Pricing: Economy class cars start from $3/hour off-peak, rising to around $9/hour during peak periods.Â
Mileage is charged separately at S$0.44/km for standard petrol/diesel vehicles, or S$0.29/km for electric vehicles.Â
A flat platform fee of $1.20 applies per booking. Collision Damage Waiver is available at five per cent of the total booking charge, reducing your insurance excess by 50 per cent.
Fleet: Petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric vehicles across Economy, Standard, Plus, Grand, and Luxury categories.
Minimum age: 19 years old with at least one year of driving experience (or 25 years old without prior experience).

Flexar (formerly BlueSG)
Flexar is the relaunched successor to BlueSG, Singapore’s pioneering all-electric carsharing service, which paused operations in August 2025 before returning under the new brand in April 2026.Â
Where BlueSG relied exclusively on EVs, Flexar operates a mixed fleet of petrol and electric vehicles.
The key differentiator is its point A-to-B model, unlike GetGo or Tribecar, you pick up a Flexar car at one station and drop it off at any other Flexar station, without needing to return to your starting point.Â
As of the May 2026 full launch, the network covers over 100 pick-up and drop-off points with around 200 vehicles, concentrated in central, northern, north-eastern, and eastern residential areas including Punggol, Sengkang, Hougang, Tampines, Ang Mo Kio, and Toa Payoh.
Expansion is planned throughout 2026.
Pricing: Flexar charges by the minute, with a tiered rate that gets cheaper the longer you drive.Â
