Drive lah offers a Fuel Package to make your trip more convenient. Here’s how it works, when you’ll be charged, and how to manage it.

What Is the Fuel Package?

When you opt for the Fuel Package, you pay for the fuel consumed during your trip based on the distance driven. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Return the car with at least 25% fuel remaining.

  • If you refuel the car during the trip, you will be refunded the amount based on the fuel receipt you upload.

How to Add the Fuel Package

You can add the Fuel Package at two points:

At checkout: Select the Fuel Package option before finalizing your booking. You will only be charged at the end of the trip based on how much fuel you consumed.

After booking:
You can also add the Fuel Package anytime before the trip starts:

Go to your Trips page.

Click on Add-ons for your trip.

Select the Fuel Package option.

What Are the Charges for the Fuel Package?

There are three categories for fuel charges, depending on the car type:

Regular Car (Category I): $0.41 per km

High Fuel Consumption Cars (Category II): $0.58 per km

EVs (Category III): $0.29 per km (EVs automatically include the fuel package)

How Is the Distance Traveled Calculated?

The distance traveled is calculated as follows:

For physical key handover cars: The distance is based on the odometer readings provided at pick-up and drop-off.

What Happens If I Need to Refuel During the Trip?

If you need to refuel during the trip after selecting the Fuel Package:

  • Keep the fuel receipts.

  • Upload your fuel receipts when you drop off the car.

  • Drive lah will refund the fuel amount based on the receipt.
