  • SINGAPORE CAR RENTAL 1 Singapore - Car Rental Prime & Section Car Rental
    SINGAPORE CAR RENTAL 1 Singapore - Car Rental Prime & Section Car Rental Introduction According to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) Worldwide Cost of Living (WCOL) survey, Singapore has consistently been listed as one of the most expensive cities in the world for expatriates. One of the key attributes to this is the high cost of vehicle ownership in Singapore. Public transport is affordable and efficient, but for expats who are used to driving in their home country or other locations in Expatland, the idea of vehicle ownership will be very different in this island city. Most expats choose to lease a vehicle instead. Though the high cost of vehicles naturally translates to higher rental compared to most other countries, renting a vehicle will give more flexibility and enable expats to better budget their expenses. 2 Singapore - Car Rental Prime & Section Car Rental Car ownership Due largely to its scarcity of land, vehicular traffic in Singapore must be properly controlled. In order to regulate car ownership and road usage, the Singapore government introduced the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system since 1990 to complement existing taxes and duties. The COE allows a buyer to register and own a vehicle in Singapore for a maximum of 10 years. They are obtained through an open bidding exercise that happens twice a month and by paying the prevailing premium related to the bid. The certificate is priced according to the vehicle engine size and horsepower – a larger engine attracts a higher premium. The average premium in 2019 for a Category A car (car with an engine size up to 1,600cc and horsepower 97kW) was SGD $30,018; while a Category B car (engine size above 1,600cc or horsepower 97kW) was SGD $38,837.

While Singapore succeeds with an iron fist, the United States waits for the invisible hand. By Dan Baum It's 8:10 am in this densely packed city of 4 million, and rush hour is in full frenzy. I dread leaving the hotel; traffic was a cacophonous nightmare when I lived in Singapore 18 years ago, and since then the population has almost doubled. So I do what I couldn't do in 1983 - I fire up my computer and go to a real-time online traffic map. Though most of the local freeways are depicted in green - moving at 38 mph or faster - the one I want is pink, which means traffic has slowed to between 13 and 25 mph. Why? Another click brings me the news that four minutes ago a car broke down in the right lane and police are arriving. A good alternative route is still green, so I resolve to head that way instead. First, though, I have to get to the freeway. Automobiles pour from car parks as residents of the high-rises ringing the city center empty into the streets. We are bumper-to-bumper heading toward the on-ramp, and I tense up, ready to start flamenco dancing on the accelerator and brake at any second.

  • VII. About the AXA Mobility Survey 2018
    Safer roads, better lives AXA MOBILITY SURVEY Published November 2018 I. Report Overview The way we travel around Singapore has changed over the last few years. New mobility devices like e-scooters and other personal mobility devices (PMDs) have grown in popularity and are being used by Singaporeans from all walks of life. At the same time, the Singapore government’s push to reduce reliance on cars has been supported by technological developments and the rise of the sharing economy with the introduction of private-hire car services, car-sharing and bike-sharing services. These new developments have visibly transformed Singapore’s transport ecosystem over the past few years. In view of the changing mobility landscape, AXA conducted the Mobility Survey in April 2018 to understand public sentiments, perceptions of road safety and in particular, opinions regarding more vulnerable road users like the elderly. The survey polled 812 Singaporeans aged 18 – 59 years old and examines the behaviours and experiences of road users as well as the level of awareness, usage and support towards current mobility trends. The 2018 survey was expanded from the version conducted in 2015 to uncover the opinions of additional road user groups like private-hire drivers, bike-sharers and PMD users in Singapore to understand their perceptions towards recent changes in the transport system. The total sample of the AXA Mobility Survey comprises both drivers (private car, motorcycle, taxi, ride-hailing and commercial) and non-drivers including pedestrians, PMD users,
