Singapore car-sharing platform GetGo announced today (Sept 1) that it has launched a new feature that lets users rent its vehicles for cross-border trips to Malaysia.

Unlike traditional car rental services, which often require a deposit and vehicle collection and return at designated rental locations, GetGo said users can book a vehicle through its app and pick it up from their nearest carpark.

There are also no mileage charges for driving in Peninsular Malaysia, regardless of the distance travelled. Instead, users will pay a cross-border surcharge that is capped based on the vehicle category and travel day.

GetGo said the total surcharge will be shown in the app before users confirm their booking.

“[This gives] users… visibility of what they will pay before confirming their booking in the GetGo app,” GetGo said.

For additional coverage, users can opt for collision damage waiver (CDW) or enhanced CDW plans for their cross-border trips.

They can also add a pre-registered co-driver to the booking, allowing two insured drivers to share the driving under the same insurance coverage.

The launch comes ahead of the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link, which is expected to begin operations in January 2027.

GetGo currently operates more than 3,000 vehicles across over 1,700 locations in Singapore.
