Drive lah completed 1500 days in Singapore with incredible milestones along the way – 1500 days of memories, growth, and innovation in Singapore! From our humble beginnings in July 2019 to where we stand today, we've come a long way. Join us on this nostalgic journey as we revisit these highlights, experiences, and achievements that have shaped our road together.
The Journey Begins!
In July 2019, with just four team members and a small office, Drive lah embarked on a mission to simplify travel in Singapore. Little did we know that this journey would be so transformative. To date, we've clocked over 100,000 trips, and we couldn't have done it without your support!
Chinese New Year Celebration
Our first Chinese New Year celebration in 2020 marked a special moment as we joined our fellow Singaporeans in celebrating this cherished festival. To share the joy, we gave a special discount using a promo code. Let's remember those good times and keep driving towards more memories ahead.
Drive lah Go
In March 2020, we introduced Drive lah Go, revolutionizing convenience. With this technology, guests could remotely lock and unlock the car using the Drive lah app, eliminating the need for in-person key handovers. It's all about seamless, time-saving mobility!
Acquisition of Smove
In December 2020, Drive lah took a significant step by acquiring Smove, expanding our footprint and reaching more customers. This strategic move helped us become even more accessible.
$10,000 Giveaway
March 2021 marked another milestone where we gave away $10,000 to one lucky customer in our biggest lucky draw ever. Making a difference in someone's life is what drives us!
Drive Safe lah
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, we contributed to creating a safer Singapore by offering $10 credits to vaccine recipients. It was a small gesture, but it came from the heart.
First Host Conference
In June 2021, we held our very first host conference, an event that marked a significant milestone in our 1500-day journey. Listening to feedback from our partners set the stage for even better experiences ahead.

July 2021 was a turning point when Drive lah secured $3.2 million in funding during a pre-series A round, with KFC Ventures leading the way. We're grateful to all our investors who believe in the vision of shared mobility.
