BlueSG Returns to Singapore with Modern Car-Sharing Service: Flexar
Singapore’s car-sharing landscape is seeing a familiar face return with a new identity. BlueSG, which suspended its operations in August 2025, is relaunching as Flexar. Starting April 15, 2026, the service will enter a public beta testing phase, introducing a more flexible approach to urban mobility across several residential regions.
- Launch Date: Public beta begins April 15, 2026.
- Fleet Change: Now includes both electric and combustion engine vehicles.
- Cost Structure: No membership fees or deposits required.
- Service Model: Point-to-point car sharing.
What is Flexar?
Flexar is the replacement for BlueSG, developed by the same team following a “strategic pause” in late 2025. Whereas it retains the point-to-point concept—allowing users to pick up a vehicle at one location and drop it off at another—it has been rebuilt from the ground up as a new platform to enable more flexible urban mobility.
Key Differences from BlueSG
Flexar introduces several significant changes to lower the barrier to entry for users and expand its operational reach:
- Diverse Fleet: Unlike the all-electric fleet of BlueSG, Flexar will offer a mix of electric and internal combustion engine cars to provide more options.
- No Upfront Costs: Users aren’t required to pay membership fees or security deposits.
- Flexible Returns: Drivers are no longer required to return vehicles specifically to EV charging stations.
Pricing and Availability
How Much Does it Cost?
Flexar uses a tiered per-minute pricing model designed to make longer journeys more economical. The costs include a fixed platform fee per trip and a per-minute charge that decreases progressively. During the initial roll-out phase, the first five minutes of a rental are free. From the 6th to the 20th minute, the rate is 52 cents per minute with rates dropping further for longer rentals.
users can opt for a collision damage waiver (a surcharge) to limit their financial liability in the event of vehicle damage.
Where Can You Find Flexar?
The service is available to Singaporeans aged 18 and above with a valid driving license. Registration is handled via Singpass through a mobile app. The fleet will be deployed across the following regions including specific residential areas:
- Central
- North (including Ang Mo Kio)
- North-East (including Punggol, Sengkang, and Hougang)
- East (including Tampines and Toa Payoh)
The Goal of the Beta Phase
The current launch is a public beta phase. According to Flexar CEO Fon Supannakul, the company is using this period to test and refine the service in a live environment. The primary focus is on optimizing fleet and parking placement, improving vehicle access, and enhancing app usability before a wider deployment to ensure the platform supports urban mobility.
