GetGo is a car sharing service based in Singapore. Launched in 2021, it is currently the largest carsharing company in Singapore in terms of fleet and location size.[1] As of February 2024, it has over 3,000 vehicles across 1,700 locations in Singapore.[2]
On February 23, 2023, it announced a fundraising round of SGD $20 million (US$14.9 million) from Treis, a family-backed investment group, for the purpose of growing its fleet of electric vehicles.[3]
History
GetGo was incorporated in August 2020[4] and officially launched in February 2021. GetGo began with an initial fleet of 400 vehicles from Lion City Rentals, a car-rental company formerly owned by Uber.[5] It attracted 14,000 users in its pre-launched registration, and over 20,000 users within its first two months of operation.[6]
As of November 2023, GetGo has a user count of over 300,000 users within Singapore. It also received acceptance into Enterprise Singapore's "Scale-Up" program to plan an overseas expansion.[7]
Services
GetGo offers a "point A to A" car-sharing platform that prioritizes a greater ease of use. It is available to licensed Singapore residents over the age of 19 with at least a year of driving experience, or to licensed residents over the age of 25 without driving experience. The service is integrated with Singapore's SingPass MyInfo system for registration and verification.[8]
Unlike traditional car rental or carsharing pricing models, GetGo does not charge any security deposits or membership fees. Their pricing is based on booking duration, vehicle selection, and timing of booking.[9]
Fleet
GetGo offers a combination of petrol, diesel, and electric vehicles within its fleet. The company has a goal to increase the percentage of electric vehicles to 15% by the end of 2023, and to have 10,000 EVs by 2030. There are currently 20 different brands within its fleet.[10]
