CardUp supports paying for short-term or long-term vehicle rentals and leases in Singapore. Here’s how you can set up your payment:
Step 1: Select “Car Rentals & Leasing” as the payment type
- Log in to your CardUp account and click Pay.
- On the Payment Type selection page, choose Car Rentals & Leasing.
Note: This payment type is currently available only to CardUp personal users (B2C) in Singapore.
Step 2: Add your recipient details
- You’ll be asked, “Who should we send this rental or leasing payment to?”
- Enter the Company UEN / business registration number (as shown on your lease or rental document).
- Enter the Company Name (as shown on your lease or rental document).
- Provide the bank account details for the payment transfer
- (Optional) Enter a recipient email address if you’d like them to receive payment notifications
Important: Both the company name and UEN are mandatory. If the UEN format is invalid, you’ll be prompted to correct it
.
Step 3: Enter your payment details
- Amount – Enter the total rental or leasing amount you wish to pay.
-
Card details – Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay are supported.
- American Express is not supported for this payment type. If you attempt to use an American Express card, you’ll see an error message.
-
Payment plan – Choose Standard or Next Business Day.
- For Standard, your card is charged 3 business days before the payment arrival date.
- For Next Business Day, your card is charged 1 business day before the payment arrival date.
- Payment frequency – Select a one-time or recurring schedule (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or half‑yearly). Yearly frequency is not available.
- Payment arrival date – Choose when you’d like your rental company to receive the funds.
- Payment reference – This will appear on the recipient’s bank statement (e.g., your name, invoice number, etc.).
- Promo/referral code – If applicable, enter here.
- Review the fee summary. Note: If you apply any promotional codes, the discounted fee will be displayed on the "Review" page before you finalize the payment setup.
Step 4: Upload your supporting document
- Upload the Rental or Leasing Agreement. Make sure it clearly shows:
- Payer’s name
- Payee’s (rental company) name
- Car details (e.g., vehicle identification number, plate number)
- Rental amount
- Rental period
- Rental company’s bank account details
- The agreement must be issued by the car rental company and must still be valid within the stated rental period.
-
Tip: Double-check that the names, amounts, and bank details exactly match what you entered in CardUp to prevent any delays.
Last step: Confirm and create your payment
- Review all details on the Review page to ensure accuracy.
- Click Create Payment. You’ll receive a one-time password (OTP) for verification (a small, refundable verification charge of S$0.50 may appear on your card).
- Your main payment will be charged on the Payment charged date based on whether you chose Standard or Next Business Day.
Note: If you’re setting up your payment on the same business day that you create your CardUp account or complete account verification, you may experience an additional 1 business day delay.
Quick Tips
- Recurring payments: If you pay regularly (e.g., monthly rental installments), set your payment to repeat automatically (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or half-yearly).
- Verification & schedule: Always check your Payment charged date vs. Payment arrival date to ensure the funds arrive on time.
- Document guidelines: Always ensure the document you upload is recent, clearly legible, and matches all details you provided.
