This policy defines the permitted and prohibited uses of vehicles shared through the Drive lah platform. Its purpose is to:

- Ensure the safety of all users

- Protect the condition and value of listed vehicles

- Support compliance with legal and regulatory requirements

All guests are expected to read, understand, and follow these guidelines when using a vehicle booked through Drive lah.

Guests may use your car for:

Personal use such as errands, commuting, or road trips

Business purposes (e.g. attending meetings, transporting personal work items)

All usage must follow Drive lah’s terms of service and local traffic laws.

Host-Defined Rules

As a host, you can set custom rules in your listing — such as:

No pets

No smoking

No driving across the border

Guests must follow these rules during the trip. You can add them under “Car Rules” when creating or editing your listing.

​Prohibited Uses

The following activities are strictly not allowed during any Drive lah trip. Violating these rules may result in fines, account suspension, or loss of insurance coverage.

Unsafe or Illegal Use

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Using the vehicle in a crime or illegal activity

Racing, drifting, or reckless driving

Driving without a valid license

Leaving the car unattended while running

Unauthorized Drivers

Letting anyone other than the verified guest drive the vehicle

Using the vehicle without a valid booking or outside of the booking period

Improper Use of Vehicle

Towing or pushing another vehicle

Off-road driving or using on unpaved roads

Overloading passengers or cargo

Using the wrong type of fuel

Modifying or altering the vehicle in any way

Smoking inside the vehicle

Leaving the vehicle with the keys inside

Transporting hazardous or illegal materials

Transporting pets without host consent (may result in cleaning fees)
Rental cars provided through programs like Flex+ or long-term rentals are strictly for private use and cannot be used for any commercial activities.

Out-of-Bounds Travel

Driving outside approved areas as defined in the booking or in your listing

Failing to inform Drive lah if your license is expired or suspended

Why These Rules Matter
The restrictions on commercial use are primarily due to insurance and terms of service compliance. Rental cars are insured for private use only, and commercial activities require specific insurance policies, such as those covering Public Hire Vehicles (PHV).
​

Violating these policies can:

Void the insurance coverage for the trip

Reduce liability coverage to the minimum required by Singapore law

Result in a fine or permanent suspension of both host and guest accounts
