​Yes, you can rent out your personal car in Singapore. Drive lah is the only peer-to-peer car-sharing company that is approved by the Land Transport Authority ( LTA) to allow private car owners to list their cars for rental and earn additional income.

LTA's private car rental scheme allows private cars to be rented out only on weekends and public holidays. However, LTA has granted permission for Drive lah to operate on all days, including weekdays.

Unlike other car rental companies where rental prices are usually fixed by the company, with Drive lah, car owners have the control and flexibility to decide the daily rates they wish to earn from renters who use their cars.

Imagine Airbnb for cars.

Customers who are looking for rental cars can visit Drive lah website, view the list of cars available, and book the ones that are suitable for them. They can book cars for rent on an hourly basis or on a long-term basis.

​Car owners will be notified through the app when they receive a booking. Once the trip is honored, car owners get paid from Drive lah. The best part is that Drive lah does not take any commission from private car owners. A fee is charged to the customers who make a booking through the platform.
