Need a ride? Here’s Drive lah. This Singapore-based car-sharing platform is a quick and cost-efficient way for you to rent your car for extra income. Now, they’ve just raised $5M in fresh funding!

  • Launched in 2019, they’ve onboarded +200K users and have +2K cars on the platform.
  • Oh, and they claim to have 10x their growth since investors came on board in early 2020.

Investor check. Singapore-based transport company ComfortDelGro (CDG) led the round. 

🥳 Get some mileage

Private car owners, if you can get more out of your vehicle (and earn extra income without doing more work), you can share your car to Drive lah!

  • You can track your car with GPS guidance, pre-approve guests using an app, meet them, sit back, and do it all over again!
  • And don’t worry. Your car will be fully insured throughout the whole trip by their insurance partners.

🚘 Easy rentals

Need a smooth ride for a company road trip? It doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg—there’s a way for you to save up to 30 to 40% of the costs!

How? Drive lah lets you find and book the perfect car to take your locations.

  • You can find standard and luxury SUVs, sedans, and more!
  • Cars are rented by day and can cost from S$60 to S$100 (~$43 to ~$73) depending on the type of car you’re looking for. 

 

🛣️ What the future holds? 

ComfortDelGro will supply 3K to Drive lah’s platform in Australia, specifically in Sydney and Melbourne.
