Car Cove - Make money by renting a car

More and more Singaporeans are looking to car rental companies to provide them with the perfect vehicle to jump-start their driving career. Striking while the iron is still hot, Car Cove is currently a partner of both ride-sharing companies Uber and Grab.

In a time when there are more car models and types than you can keep count of, Car Cove advises you on the one car that will best suit your motoring goals and budget.

Who is Car Cove and what service does it offer?

Established in February 2016, this medium-sized car rental company has seen its rental fleet grow from a modest 20 cars to 125.

35 of which are new cars, and about 12 made outside of Asia and Japan. Less than 50 of them are sport utility vehicles. There are currently six sales people and two office administrators in this medium-sized car rental company.

According to its Director, 35-year old Michael Tan, Car Cove looks to work closely with ride-sharing apps to provide drivers with a well-appointed and hassle-free workhorse.

What are some of the advantages of renting a car from Car Cove?

The core value of this company has a lot to do with saving you time and money. If you prefer to rent a car instead of buying one to avoid the hassle of worrying about insurance, keeping up with new road tax regulations and monthly maintenance, Car Cove will guide you to the right car.

For instance if you're looking to rent short-term, Car Cove will advise you to pick from its current crop of Hondas, Hyundais, Kias, Mazdas and Toyotas, which are cheaper to maintain and thus more affordable to rent. If you're looking for a more long-term vehicular affair, Car Cove will do its best to meet your requirements even if it means purchasing a model that isn't currently in its list. But, don't expect supercars by Ferrari and Lamborghini just yet.

If you have absolutely no idea about what car to rent, Car Cove is the perfect place for you to start. There is no commitment and you can choose to end the contract at anytime.
Besides Grab and Uber, Car Cove is also a collaborator of relatively new ride-sharing app Schoolber. The local car-pooling company aims to evolve school transportation by connecting student riders to parent drivers.

Why Car Cove?

As long as you have a valid license, you can rent a car. However, there are no test drives offered here. But, fret not. Before each car leaves the garage, they are thoroughly inspected by Car Cove's authorised workshop.

To keep potential stress and worry at bay, payment for repairs and/or servicing is covered in the rental fee. This means that there will be no hidden fees to surprise you.

Car Cove's group of highly trained and knowledgeable staff ensures that all of its customers go through an enjoyable, memorable and satisfying experience. Whether you're looking for a daily, weekly, monthly or long-term rental, Car Cove has just the solution for you.

Specialising in Japanese-made cars, Tan admits that sourcing parts for cars made in Europe and the U.S.A are harder. Case in point, head lights for cars built by American carmaker Ford can take up to two months to arrive. This is one of the inconveniences that accompany non-East Asian makes, and is something that Car Cove likes to avoid.

What to expect in the future?

Expect more Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs to be available for the New Year as Car Cove builds its roster of premium limousines. Currently, the car rental company has no intention of going into the supercar category. However, this could change should the demand for exotic car rental go up.

Car Cove is located at 1 Commonwealth Lane, #02-04 One Commonwealth, Singapore (149544). For more information, please visit its website or Facebook page. Alternatively, you can contact Michael Tan at 8718 8228.
