My GetGo Carsharing Experience (Mazda 3, Toyota Sienta)

Written review: https://www.wahsoshiok.com/getgo-cars...

Hello everyone – welcome back to another of my reviews. In today’s video, I’ll be reviewing my experience using GetGo’s carsharing service.

I’ve always been a fan of automobiles, and was an avid fan of the Jeremy Clarkson era of Top Gear shows. I got my license a few years ago, but have never really gotten around to driving due to the high costs of car ownership here in Singapore. So when GetGo got in touch and asked if I would be interested in trying their carsharing service, I was intrigued and immediately took them up on their offer.

Car ownership is expensive, yet sometimes we all yearn for the freedom of having our own vehicle. Perhaps it’s for a 2am drive to Springleaf for some supper prata, or for a heavy grocery/shopping run where you just want to put everything on the backseat. In such instances, carsharing becomes immensely appealing. In other instances, it might be more convenient to simply Grab. I once drove Getgo’s car to the CBD area, and instantly regretted it. Not only was traffic a nightmare, but parking was also costly and hard to find as well. However, I do appreciate having the option of driving, and I often found myself weighing my choices when going out. Sometimes I take public transport, sometimes I book a Grab, and other times I use GetGo’s carsharing service. And when I decide to drive a GetGo car, the experience was almost always pleasant. The cars were all generally well-maintained and clean, though that’s also dependent on whether the previous users were considerate. GetGo’s live support responds promptly (even at 5am – I tried once during a supper run), and I could even make an advance booking for my desired car. My only knock is the lack of a phone mount in the cars, which I would recommend GetGo to consider implementing – it only costs $10 a piece, but would really improve the driving experience.

For those interested in signing up for GetGo’s carsharing service, you can use the promo code “WSS8OFF” to enjoy 50% off your first drive, capped at $8. The promo code will be valid till the end of March, and is only applicable for the first booking. With more than a dozen different cars in its fleet currently (16, to be precise), I can’t wait to see which models the brand will introduce next – continental cars for an added dose of luxury, perhaps?
