Ms. April Koh, 31, the general manager of car leasing firm Ace Drive, said rentals for its luxury car fleet have also seen a boost since the pandemic began.
“Because people cannot travel out of Singapore for holidays and whatnot, customers have come in because they want a joyride, want a luxury car experience, or want to rent a car for birthday occasions and celebratory occasions,” said Ms Koh.
Some have come in to rent a luxury car while waiting for their own new ride to arrive in Singapore, she said.
The firm has seen a 75 percent jump in new customers, of which 20 percent were customers looking to rent luxury cars.
