Great deals on car hire in Singapore

For many Australians, Singapore represents an important stopover between Europe and home. However, this vibrant and culturally-diverse nation is more than a stopover - it is a destination.

How to get the best Singaporean deal? …………….. Book early

As a result of Singapore's geographic location, the nation experiences high steamy temperatures and sudden thunderstorms throughout the year. However, the monsoon climate is less severe during the dry season around February and coupled with the Chinese New Year celebrations this is the super peak visiting period so booking early is critical.

However the secret to getting the best deal whatever time of year it is on car hire in Singapore or anywhere for that matter, is to book ahead and early as this will always secure you the best rate.
