Stay away

This company is useless must be operating still because of it’s Singapore management. If a car is late they don’t know about it unless you report it to them and still useless to get it recovered
TTThe stars are true

It is a scam

They charge me 70 box extra because spent a lot of time doing the process in the app and by the time that I finished was late.

Drive mate takes advantage of disadvantaged customers

Maps:⚠️ ABSOLUTE WARNING: DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY ⚠️Drive mate completely took my money and left me stranded. I booked and paid for a rental car, but when I spent extra money on an Uber to get to the pickup location, the vehicle was not there. The host completely ghosted me, and Drive mate’s customer support line went totally silent.Because they locked up my funds and refused to answer, they put my young child's vital hospital appointment at serious risk. This is not just poor service; it is completely dangerous to leave families stranded and take their money without delivering the vehicle.

Worst app ever

This is possibly the worst app I have ever used. The customer service chat is useless and very unhelpful. The app itself declines verification without a reason or detail to why. Do not waste ur time downloading this app
