Driving in Singapore is generally fairly easy because of the strict traffic regulations and well-organized road systems. Drivers stay on the left side of the road when driving in Singapore. Traffic law enforcement officers are usually on the roads, mainly at major intersections and high-traffic areas. One notable feature when driving in Singapore is the Electronic Road Pricing System (ERP) used to charge vehicles passing through toll booths, called gantries, like Serangoon Road and CTE. Using mobile phones while driving is also strictly prohibited, and you will be liable for fines if caught.

The minimum age required to rent a car in Singapore varies depending on the car rental agency. Generally, the minimum age to rent a car in Singapore is 21 years. For some rental companies, the age restriction may depend on the type of vehicle you want to rent. For instance, Hertz does not allow drivers under 25 years to rent vehicles in classes J, K, L, R, and Q.

Singapore gas prices are slightly higher than they are in other countries. Price adjustment is regularly made based on global oil prices and local taxes.

Payment methods at Singapore gas stations are mostly cash, credit cards, or debit cards.
