Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
ABOUT WHIZZCAR
How does WhizzCar compare to car rental?
With the latest technology, WhizzCar gives members the access to the usage of cars 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
WhizzCar is less expensive for a shorter period of use compared to car rental. With WhizzCar, you pay only for your
reservation and usage and petrol is inclusive. Rental cars are often located at remote locations. You are restricted to
collecting and returning the car during business hours only. WhizzCar gives you the convenience of walking to a car
conveniently parked in your neighborhood and ending your reservation when you want to.
How can I get WhizzCar in my neighborhood?
We can place a car in any neighborhood when 20 people within a one-mile radius have indicated interest in joining
WhizzCar. Tell all your friends and neighbors so that a WhizzCar can be placed near you. If you are willing to
volunteer, we will provide you with information to disseminate or post in your neighborhood. We want to serve your
community.
ABOUT MEMBERSHIP
How do I cancel my membership?
You may cancel your membership by giving us one-month advance written notice before the expiry of your membership
and returning your Smart Card / Key Fob back to the head office via Registered Mail. Your deposit will be refunded to
you within 60 days upon receipt of your Smart Card / Key Fob. There will be no refund for the membership fee paid.
How will my membership renewed
Membership is renewed automatically for a minimum period of ONE year. Membership fees can be paid either on a
monthly or an annual basis. A one-month written notification prior to the expiry of membership is required should the
member choose not to renew the membership. Members will be liable for the annual fee once membership is renewed.
The security deposit will be use to offset any short fall in membership fee.
How will my membership be terminated or revoked?
We ask that members treat our cars and other members in a considerate and responsible manner. However, if any
member who repeatedly violates the rules and regulations, or let an unauthorized individual drives, can have their
membership terminated.
ABOUT USAGE OF CARS & PARKING
What kind of cars do you offer?
To cater to members’ different travel needs, we have a wide range of vehicles ranging from commercial vans, compacts
to luxury sedans and MPVs. The cars are chosen based on their reliability and their excellent record for environmental
friendliness, safety and low maintenance. To give you more choices, we expect to add more models to our fleet in the
near future.
Is a car going to be available when I need it?
The availability of vehicles is an important concern of ours as much as it is for our members. Our reservations system
allows you to make a reservation as little as 15 minutes in advance. We will have enough cars for all of our members
and will add more cars as our membership increases. If you know you will need a car during peak period (Weekends /
Public Holidays), please try to reserve your car a few days in advance to avoid disappointment; a little planning will help
you. If our cars are not available, you may contact Popular Rent A Car as an alternative rental needs. Do quote that you
are a WhizzCar member.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) (cont’)
Can I have access to any vehicles in all sites?
Yes, you can use WhizzCar at any WhizzCar location island-wide but you have to return the car back to where you
collect.
What if the car reserved is not in the parking space?
This should not occur. If a car is not present, call WhizzCar at 6741 5828 immediately. We will make every possible
effort to locate and direct you to a nearby car. We expect all members to take the privilege of membership seriously.
Any member acting irresponsibly and repeatedly violates membership rules (i.e. not returning the car to the reserved lot
punctually) and will risk membership termination.
What keep non-members out of WhizzCar spaces?
All WhizzCar parking spaces will have signs posted indicating that the space is reserved for WhizzCar only. On a rare
occasion that a member arrives at WhizzCar parking lot and finds that it is taken, they are advised to park as close to
the lot as possible and call our Assistance Hotline at 6741 5828 immediately.
Can I drive a WhizzCar to West Malaysia?
Yes, prior notification is required to ensure that your journey to Malaysia is taken care of. There is a 50% surcharge on
the time rates and minimum booking is 24 hours.
E.g. a WhizzCar for 24 hours use in Singapore at $105.00 will cost $157.50 for Malaysia use. Please refer to the terms
and conditions for Malaysia use in the Member’s Handbook (Page 5)
Can my spouse or family members use my membership?
Membership and privileges are NOT transferable. Use of a WhizzCar by an unauthorized driver is a serious violation of
the Terms and Conditions of Membership. Non-members are strictly forbidden to drive WhizzCar vehicles. An
enforcement of this rule is immediate termination of your account and membership privileges. Insurance coverage is
not extended to unauthorized drivers, i.e. for your safety and the safety of your family and friends, do avoid allowing
others to drive our vehicles. We do offer supplementary membership if you would like to share an account with your
family.
Do I have to worry about locking the car at the end of my reservation?
Yes, it is extremely important that you always lock the car with your Smart Card / Key Fob so that the ignition will be
disabled. Your reservation is not complete until you lock the door.
What happens if I return the car late?
Please return your car on time. This is a courtesy that we insist members extend to one another. Late return will cause
major inconveniences to other members. We understand you can't always predict traffic hence we do suggest that you
plan your journey ahead and make reservations carefully.
If you are going to be late in returning the vehicle, kindly call us 30 minutes before the end of your usage to avoid late
return penalty charges (Refer to Rules & Penalties). Extensions can be done via our Call Center (6741 7666) during our
operating hours, daily from 7am to 10pm or via the ONLINE reservation system available 24hrs. However, extension
isn't always possible, particularly if another member has a reservation immediately following yours.
What happens if I get a parking ticket?
You are responsible and will be required to pay the fine.
Can I smoke in the car?
We are concerned for smokers and non-smokers alike, so smoking in the car is strictly prohibited.
