Is your PHV rental or leasing contract ending soon? Choosing the right car and private hire car rental company can make a big difference to your earnings, comfort, and daily efficiency.—whether you’re a full-time or a part time PHV driver.
In this article, we’ll share five essential tips to help you choose the best PHV rental provider—highlighting how Velocity Leasing, a leading electric vehicle (EV) rental company in the PHV space, stands out for Grab, Gojek, Tada, and Ryde drivers.
Look for a trusted car rental company known for reliability, responsive support, and high customer satisfaction. How a rental provider handles breakdowns, service requests, and overall support matters—especially when your income depends on staying on the road.
At Velocity Leasing, customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. We have been appointed as the exclusive rental fleet partner by Volt Auto Pte Ltd for Dongfeng Box, a recognition of our consistent service quality and commitment to our drivers.
Don’t just take our word for it—our customers have given us a 5-star rating on Google Reviews, citing our professional service, transparent processes, and reliable support.
Whether you’re a new PHV driver or looking to switch providers, Velocity Leasing ensures a seamless and dependable experience from start to finish.
Other rental companies advertise “Effective rental rates” which are calculated after factoring in incentives & benefits, which can be misleading and not transparent. While these numbers may look attractive, they often do not reflect the actual upfront cost you’ll pay, leading to confusion.
At Velocity Leasing, we advocate transparent & upfront rental pricing. Our current EV rental promo starts from $88/day (GST included) — no hidden fees. Take advantage of our latest EV rental promo to enjoy greater savings & maximise your PHV income.
Find the best car to meet your driving hours and comfort preferences. A good tip is to compare running cost across different car engine types, drive range and to test drive before committing. Other factors such as maintenance frequency are also worth considering when short listing your ideal drive.
One of the biggest decisions is petrol vs electric - and the difference can impact your bottom line. It is proven that Electric cars can easily save over 65% running cost, especially with the fuel prices rising.
