Private Hire Car Rental Built for Ride-Hailing Drivers

Renting a car to drive for Grab, Gojek or Tada is different from renting for personal use — your vehicle is your income, so reliability, compliance and cost-per-kilometre matter more than anything else. AKA Car Rental's private hire fleet is registered for commercial hire, commercially insured, and maintained on a schedule that suits full-time drivers. You collect a road-ready car, focus on your rides, and return it when your term ends — no depreciation, no workshop visits, no insurance paperwork on your end.

PDVL & Licensing: What You Need Before You Drive

To carry paying passengers in Singapore you need more than a Class 3 licence. Here's exactly what's required before you pick up a private hire car from us:

A valid Private Hire Driver's Vocational Licence (PDVL), or a valid Taxi Driver's Vocational Licence
A Class 3 or 3A Singapore driving licence held for at least two years
Minimum age 21 (some platforms require 25 for certain tiers)
A passing medical examination and background check, completed through the platform
NRIC or FIN, and proof of address for the rental agreement
Platform onboarding completed with Grab, Gojek, Tada or another LTA-licensed operator

Choosing the Right Car for Passenger Transport

For ride-hailing, passenger comfort and running costs decide both your rating and your take-home pay. A quiet, spacious cabin earns better reviews; a fuel-efficient powertrain keeps more of each fare. Our PHV fleet spans economical sedans, hybrid models and 7-seater MPVs, so you can match the car to the jobs you want — everyday city rides, premium limo tiers, or group and family bookings. We'll walk you through fuel type, cabin size and weekly cost before you commit.

Compact sedans — lowest weekly rate, ideal for everyday point-to-point trips
Hybrid models — 30-40% less fuel, the choice of most full-time drivers
7-seater MPVs — access GrabFamily and larger party bookings at higher fares
Well-maintained cabins and air-con, cleaned and checked between rentals

Weekly Rental Economics: How the Numbers Work

Private hire rental is priced weekly because most full-time drivers settle their rental against a week's fares. A fixed weekly rate means your rental cost stays flat whether you drive 40 or 70 hours — so every extra fare after your break-even point is yours to keep. Your weekly rental covers commercial insurance, regular servicing, road tax and LTA compliance; you pay for fuel, ERP and carpark charges as you drive. We hold a refundable deposit at the start and return it when the car comes back in good condition.

Breakdowns, Servicing & Vehicle Swaps

Downtime is lost income, so we've built the rental to keep you on the road. If your car needs scheduled servicing, we provide a replacement vehicle so you keep earning. If a fault develops mid-shift, call our 24-hour line — we'll arrange a swap at our Commonwealth Lane depot and get you back to driving the same day. There's no hourly charge for routine maintenance, and accident repair coordination is handled by our team so you're not stuck on the phone with workshops.
