How to Rent a Car for Private Hire in Singapore
Renting a car for private hire takes five steps. Existing PDVL holders usually complete all of them in one day.
1
Get your PDVL
Apply with LTA for the Private Driver's Vocational Licence. Already have one? Skip ahead.
2
Pick a plan
Weekly from $420 if you want flexibility; monthly from $1,700 if you drive full-time. Switch any time.
3
Choose the car
Sedan (Altis, Mazda 3) for the lowest rent, or a hybrid (Aqua, Prius, Vezel) for the lowest fuel bill.
4
Send documents
PDVL, Class 3/3A licence, NRIC or FIN, and a card for the deposit. Approval within 24 hours, usually same day.
5
Collect & go online
Collect at Kaki Bukit, add the car to your Grab / Gojek / Tada / Ryde account and start taking jobs.
Private Hire Car Rental vs Personal Car Rental
A car rented for private hire must be registered with LTA as a Private Hire Vehicle, display the PHV decal and be insured for carrying fare-paying passengers. A personal rental car is insured for private use only — driving for Grab in it voids the cover and breaches platform rules. Because every Fresh Cars vehicle is already PHV-registered and commercially insured, there is nothing extra to arrange. PHV rental is priced separately from our personal car rental — from $420/week or $1,700/month — and that price includes the commercial cover, unlimited mileage and a 4-hour replacement guarantee so a breakdown never costs you a day of income.
Private Hire Car Rental Singapore – Eligibility, Requirements & What to Expect
To rent a car for private hire in Singapore, drivers must hold a valid Private Driver's Vocational Licence (PDVL) issued by the Land Transport Authority (LTA). This licence certifies that you are eligible to operate a private hire vehicle on platforms like Grab, Gojek, Tada, and Ryde. Fresh Cars can assist you with understanding the PDVL application process if you are applying for the first time. Existing PDVL holders can drive away the same day upon approval.
Required Documents
Valid Singapore NRIC or FIN, Singapore driving licence (Class 3/3A minimum), valid PDVL, and a credit or debit card for the rental deposit. Grab or Gojek driver account activation is also required before vehicle collection.
Insurance Coverage
All Fresh Cars PHV rental packages include comprehensive insurance covering private hire use, third-party liability, and passenger coverage as mandated by LTA. Personal accident and medical expense coverage for passengers is included.
Mileage & Servicing
Our PHV rental packages come with unlimited mileage — no extra charges no matter how many trips you complete. Scheduled servicing, tyre replacement, and routine maintenance are all handled by Fresh Cars at no additional cost.
Fresh Cars has been Singapore's trusted PHV car rental partner since 2016, helping over 1,000 Grab and Gojek drivers get on the road quickly and affordably.
