You can hear the birds sing as you rise from your bed. You take in a whiff of the crisp morning air and let out a content sigh. That’s right, it’s the weekend! The perfect time to go out for a drive around Singapore.

But not all of us own a car or want to own one — not to worry! Did you know that you can rent a car for up to 5 days from over 1,600 locations across Singapore and make the most of your weekend?

Now that transportation is sorted, here’s a list of activities you can do with friends or family for a fun-filled weekend. Go ahead and use our recommendations to build your own itinerary, from morning to night. 🤩

01 • Discover new attractions at Sentosa

If you think you’ve seen all of Sentosa, think again. The island boasts many new attractions for adrenaline junkies and the laid-back alike. Be it racing down the tracks at HyperDrive or marvelling at the beauty of neon installations at Sensoryscape, Sentosa is the ideal location for a fun-packed day away from the concrete jungle.

02 • Go on a date for the whole day

The weekend is the perfect time to bring your bae on a date. With your comfy GetGo car booked for the whole day, you’re all set for some smooth-sailing quality time.

If you‘re in need of ideas, we’ve got you! As romantics ourselves, we have our fair share of great romantic activities. For instance, you could go out and have a romantic dinner. Or you could go for a movie or visit your favourite hangout spot. Or even just keep it simple and drive along a scenic road during sunset. 🌄

03 • Visit a farm for a peaceful morning

This isn’t a typical weekend activity, but for those of you looking for a unique experience, we suggest an early morning farm trip. You’ll get to make some animal friends, learn how farms are run, and spend quiet time in nature.

How about planning a drive to Viknesh Dairy Farm, Qian Hu Fish Farm, or The Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum of Singapore?

After your farm visit, pop by Gardenasia, a hidden gem just a stone’s throw away. Bask in nature’s stillness and recharge as time slips by at this idyllic getaway.

04 • Begin your day with an energising meal

Know what’s the first thing that you should do before you dive into the rest of your day? Have breakfast, of course! After all, a hearty brekkie is what’s going to give you the energy to go about your day.

05 • Spend your morning cycling

There’s nothing like the satisfaction of working up a sweat, so why not go cycling at one of Singapore’s park connectors?

All you have to do is load up your bike into your GetGo and drive down to your preferred start point. See which cars in our fleet can help transport your bike around.

06 • Have a spot of morning fishing

Cast your fishing line into the sea or the river, sit back, and listen to the sounds of nature around you. Or have a chat with your buddies while waiting for a fish to bite.

Saltwater and freshwater fishing spots are scattered all around our sunny island, so why not bring home a yummy dinner? 🐟

06 • Take the whole family out for a day of fun

Want to take the kids somewhere fun? Bring them to an indoor playground while you spend some time alone with your partner. Even better, try out some fun activities in town.

There’s definitely something that you and the kiddos can agree on, and we guarantee that it’ll be fun for everyone.

08 • Rizz up your date with a car picnic

The perfect picnic with your date doesn’t need to involve getting roasted under the hot sun. You can even do it in the comfort of a car and get some food along the way. Read our non-fast food drive-thru recommendations to sort your picnic meal. You also won’t have to leave the car if you order from drive-thrus.

09 • Shop one-of-a-kind pieces at thrift stores

Join Gen Zs in their favourite pastime, thrifting, and get more bang for your buck. Thrift stores offer a wide variety of unique pre-loved pieces at an affordable price. Not only that, each shop’s curated collection caters to a distinct style, so head down to a few to find what suits you best.

Those looking for sporty and trendy fits should try Weare. If you’re into more quirky and retro outfits, Nightingale Thrift is the perfect shopping destination, with their array of vintage pieces for a fraction of the price.

10 • Take an afternoon to go mall-hopping

Singaporeans. Love. Shopping. The many malls that dot our little island are a testament to this, and there’s at least one for every budget type.

With a whole day at your disposal, why not take the time to mall-hop? Most malls in Singapore are conveniently located close to one another and can be accessed by car or even foot. You can make pit stops with your booked car or park it somewhere — even better if it’s free or at a discounted price, so check our free parking guide.

Once you’re there, have a gander at the products on sale, try out the cuisines the malls have to offer, or just take the time to mingle with your friends and family.

11 • Pump your muscles with rock climbing

Sports junkies, this one’s for you. All around Singapore are rock climbing walls for you to test your skills on. You can take them on with friends, or even with the kiddos.

Boruda Climbing, for instance, is both beginner- and kid-friendly. You can book a 2-hour introductory session with their trainers to go over the basics and give you a grasp on climbing techniques.

If you’re a more seasoned climber, why not try Ground Up Climbing? The outdoor lead walls are not only staggeringly tall but also boast one of the hardest overhangs in Singapore — truly a challenge even for those with more experience.

12 • Reconnect with nature through a hike

It’s the season for hot girl walks. And with a car, you can now explore new trails that are less accessible. As you focus on placing one foot in front of the other amidst lush greenery, let your worries and troubles momentarily fade into the background.

13 • Go on an artsy date with your loved ones

How about opting for an unconventional hangout by doing artistic activities that nourish your soul? Tuft a carpet, paint your own pottery, or bead bracelets at different art workshops. The best part is, that they’re affordably priced (you’ll only need to fork out $5 for bracelet beading)! Alternatively, visit new art exhibitions at Art Science Museum or Singapore Art Museum if you’re not in the mood for something hands-on.

14 • Have lunch at ulu restaurants

Hungry foodies with a car are an unstoppable force. Maximise your weekend booking by visiting restaurants on your to-visit list that are just a little out of reach. Some top recommendations include ENAQ the Prata Shop, Original Botak Jones, and Mad Charcoal.

15 • Bring your furry friends on a date

Full-day bookings are the best chance to wine and dine your fur babies. Pamper them with a hearty bento set at Sun Ray Cafe or Bork Kwa Biscuits at On Pause. Afterwards, bring them for a walk along Marina Bay. The scenic city skyline serves as the backdrop for a picturesque ending to an already perfect rendezvous, for both you and your furry buddy. Don’t forget to take some photos!

💡 Pro tip: Keep your pet in a carrier at all times while you’re in a GetGo car

16 • Pamper yourself at a spa at any time of the day

Whether it’s the middle of a hectic week or the weekend, you deserve to show yourself some love. The good news is, regardless of what kind of spa you prefer, you’ll find something that suits your fancy.

17 • Take a drive

Your full day GetGo booking would be incomplete if you didn’t go on a leisure drive, so we recommend that you set aside some time to drive along Singapore’s picturesque routes.

You can even make a pit stop along the way for a quick picnic or stroll. Here’s a few more fun ideas on what to do with a car in Singapore.

18 • Spend a night out bowling

Bonding with loved ones over bowling is timeless, and nobody can deny that there’s something fun about rolling a ball to knock over pins.

Bowling also brings the thrill of some friendly competition. Doesn’t it feel great to challenge your loved ones to bowl-offs and watch the numbers rise on the scoreboard?

When you’re done, simply hop back into your booked car and head off for a scrumptious dinner or supper.

19 • Go stargazing

This is a little sad, but stargazing in Singapore isn’t easy due to the sheer number of lights on the island.

However, there still are stargazing spots around, albeit a little out of reach. Make a trip down to these spots with a GetGo and you’d see that the views they offer are absolutely worth a trip.

Some of the best places for stargazing in Singapore include Yishun Dam, Changi Bay Point, Science Centre Singapore, and Upper Seletar Reservoir. ✨

20 • Enjoy a night stroll along a beach

Feel the sand between your toes as the ocean breeze sweeps through your luscious locks and stars twinkling above your head. That’s the beauty of a beach stroll! Luckily for us islanders, there’s an abundance of beaches in Singapore to visit, including East Coast Beach, Palawan Beach, and Siloso Beach.

To an epic weekend!
