Explore the world at your own pace and rediscover the joy of travel with a car rental!
One of the greatest things about going on adventures is the joy of exploration, the thrill of making stops along the way and discovering points of interest and places to visit as you follow the path to your primary destination. It’s even better when you’re behind the wheel and out of the blue, a landmark or vista catches your attention and you make an unplanned stop to take it all in.
This is why we recommend that you book a car rental for your next trip abroad!
Klook Car Rentals and How to Book 'em
Now, you’re probably wondering “Okay, how do I rent a car in whatever country I’m visiting?” Don’t worry... Klook has a dedicated car rental page for you to pick your favourite car with ease, and at the best prices too, if we may say so ourselves!
We work with top car rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, and Europcar, as well as top-rated reliable local providers to keep costs low for you. There's no need to worry about dodgy cars or hidden costs, we've got your back. 🚗
As travellers ourselves, we understand that these are unprecedented times and changes are unavoidable - that's why most suppliers on Klook allow free cancellations and full refunds up to a certain hour before pick-up! Be sure to double-check the terms of the specific car you're booking before you checkout.
Step 1: Head to the Car Rentals page
You can easily find the Car Rentals tab on your Klook app or on the Klook website!
Step 2: Pick your destination & duration
You can now input your desired pick-up location and rental duration. If you're looking for a one-way rental, all you have to do is to hit the 'Return car to a different location' option and find your desired drop-off location.
Don't forget to enter your age, and it's time to hit search!
#KlookTip: We'll find the best prices for your desired rental, and the price you'll see will include any additional charges for a one-way rental. So, no surprises there!
Step 3: Choose your desired car
You’ll be brought to a page where you’ll see a roster of cars up for rent. It’ll indicate the different car types, the number of seats in a car, how many suitcases each one can fit, if they’re automatic or not, and more. You can even compare prices for similar car types if there're two or more suppliers offering the same vehicle. Neat!
There’s also a sidebar for you to help filter your preferences, including choosing to pay now, suppliers, insurance, seats, features, and even service options!
#KlookTip: Make full use of Klook promo codes by choosing to pay now directly on Klook. Some car rental suppliers might also offer special promos for selected destinations, and you can also use the filter to select the cars that are eligible for these promos!
Step 4: Customise your rental package
After selecting your desired car, you'll be brought to a summary page with the full price of your rental.
Below the summary, you’ll also have options to customise your rental package and you can select which add-ons you want, including child seats and type of insurance coverage.
Step 5: Fill in your details & complete your booking!
You're almost there! The last step is to fill out your driver's and contact information, and also your flight number (just in case there are any delays with your flight). With that, all you have left to do is pay and you're all set for your adventure!
#KlookTip: Don't forget to suss out suitable promo codes for your car rental before making payment. It'll save you a bunch, we're sure of that!

Popular Car Rental Destinations for Singaporeans

But have you visited South Korea if you haven't made a stop in Seoul? There are plenty of day trips to make around Nami Island and Gangwon-do, all made much easier if you rent a car to explore at your own pace!
#KlookTip: Car rental is highly popular in South Korea, especially in Jeju. It is always a great idea to book way in advance to avoid any disappointment!
