What Changes Once You're Actually Driving

In Singapore, traffic keeps to the left, so it's worth skimming our left-hand traffic guide before you pick up the keys, especially at roundabouts and intersections without clear signage.

Rental staff and local authorities in Singapore typically want to see your passport, your provincial license, and an IDP translation document together. Keeping all three in one place at pickup saves time — here's a full packing checklist.

  • Passport and provincial license required at pickup
  • IDP translation document recommended alongside your license
  • Confirm transmission type and fuel before you drive off
