Considerations Before You Ride in Singapore
You need a valid driving licence that specifically entitles you to ride motorcycles. For UK visitors, that means your UK licence must cover the type of scooter or motorcycle you intend to hire — a car-only entitlement is not enough.
Singapore divides motorcycles by engine size: up to 200cc, 201–400cc, and over 400cc. Your existing motorcycle entitlement must therefore be appropriate for the bike you plan to ride.
UK visitors can use their UK licence for up to 30 days, although rental companies may impose stricter requirements. They may ask for an International Driving Permit, a minimum period of riding experience or additional documentation.

Generally, no. Passenger ferries and bumboats serving islands such as Pulau Ubin, St John’s Island and Lazarus Island are not designed for travellers taking rental scooters or motorcycles with them.
The smaller islands are best explored on foot or by bicycle, so plan to leave your rental scooter on Singapore’s main island before catching the ferry. Always check your rental agreement before leaving a vehicle unattended for an extended period.
Sentosa is different because it is connected to the mainland by road, but motorcycles are not permitted to enter the island. If you are visiting Sentosa, leave your scooter behind and continue by public transport, on foot or by bicycle.

Singapore law requires both the rider and any passenger to wear a securely fastened, approved motorcycle helmet. Singapore has specific helmet safety standards, so make sure the helmet supplied is suitable for legal road use.
A helmet may be provided with your rental, but check this before booking rather than assuming it is included. When collecting the scooter, make sure the helmet fits properly, fastens securely and is in good condition. Ask for a replacement if you are unhappy with it.
Other protective clothing is not legally required in the same way as a helmet, but Singapore’s Traffic Police recommends a riding jacket, gloves and covered footwear. Lightweight protective gear is worth considering in Singapore’s hot and humid climate.

Yes. You must be at least 18 years old to hold Singapore’s entry-level Class 2B motorcycle licence, which covers motorcycles up to 200cc. As a visitor, you must hold the appropriate motorcycle entitlement for the scooter you intend to ride.
Rental companies can set their own minimum age, and this may be higher than 18. Some may also require you to have held your motorcycle licence for a minimum period before they will rent to you.
Check the age and experience requirements for your chosen scooter before booking. Your travel insurance may have separate age or experience restrictions, so check those as well.

For a short visit, UK travellers can use a valid UK driving licence in Singapore for up to 30 days without an International Driving Permit (IDP). Your licence must include the appropriate motorcycle entitlement for the scooter you intend to ride.
For stays longer than 30 days, you should carry a 1949 International Driving Permit alongside your UK licence. An IDP does not replace your normal driving licence, so you need to carry both.
Rental companies can have stricter requirements and may ask for an IDP even for a shorter rental. Check the conditions for your chosen scooter before travelling, particularly as an IDP must be obtained before leaving the UK.

Singapore drives on the left, so UK visitors should find the basic road position familiar. Obey speed limits, traffic lights, lane markings and signs carefully — road rules are actively enforced and cameras are widely used.
Pay particular attention to bus lanes. Motorcycles cannot use them during their operating hours, except where a dotted section allows you to enter the lane to make a turn. Also watch for roads displaying no-entry signs for motorcycles.
Singapore also uses Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) on selected roads. Motorcycles can be charged when passing through an active ERP charging point, so check with your rental company how any road charges incurred during your hire are handled.

Insurance may be included with your scooter rental in Singapore, but the level of cover can vary. Check the individual rental terms carefully rather than assuming everything is covered by the advertised price.
Look for cover relating to third-party liability, accidental damage and theft, and check whether an excess applies. You may still be responsible for certain types of damage or for costs up to the stated excess.
Your travel insurance is separate from the scooter’s insurance. Make sure your policy covers motorcycle or scooter riding and that you meet its requirements for licence entitlement, engine size, helmet use and riding experience.

Possibly. The advertised rental price may not include every cost, so check exactly what is included with your chosen scooter before confirming the booking.
Extras can include a security deposit, additional insurance, extra helmets, delivery or collection, an additional rider or late-return charges. Fuel is normally your responsibility during the rental.
Singapore also has Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges on some roads. Ask the rental company how these charges are recorded and paid, as they may be added to your final rental bill.
