-
HIRER COVENANTS
- The Hirer and the Authorised Driver(s) (as defined in Clause 1(e)) MUST be between 18 – 65 years old and shall be either:-
- an individual holding an employment pass with at least 6 months of validity, holding on to a valid International Driving License (printed in romanised characters) with a valid credit card, OR
- a Singaporean holding a valid Singapore Driving Licence for it's classification of vehicles (class 2B/2A/2/3A/3) with a valid debit or credit card.
The Hirer will be required to have at least 2 years of driving experience. In the event that the Hirer has less than 2 years of driving experience, the Hirer shall be subject to additional membership approval requirements and/or additional terms and conditions relating to the use of the Services.
Under the applicable traffic laws in Singapore, if the Hirer is non-Singaporean, he may only use his International Driving Licence for up to 1 year (from the time of his arrival) in Singapore, after which he must obtain a Singapore Driving Licence. For insurance purposes, if a Hirer has both an International Driving Licence and a Singapore Driving Licence, we will only count the years of driving experience from the date of issue of the Singapore Driving Licence.
- If the Hirer is younger than 23 years old AND/OR has less than 2 years driving experience (as indicated on their Singapore driving licence), he shall also be classified as a "New Driver(s)" and be subject to the additional membership approval requirements and/or such additional terms and conditions as may be set out by Tribecar in this Agreement.
- In the event where the Hirer possesses more than 1 class of driving licence, the Hirer will be classified as a New Driver if one of the driving licences had been obtained for less than 2 years. If the Hirer wishes to forgo the New Driver status for the above scenario, the Hirer should sign-up manually to only register the driving licence obtained for more than 2 years instead of signing up using SingPass to avoid being classified as a New Driver.
- The Hirer is to provide a coloured scanned copy of his/her original identity card, driving license and proof of residence upon registration. The hirer may also be requested to complete a video conference with the employees of Tribecar to verify the details of the hirer. The Hirer also may be requested to provide a Selfie of themselves together with their identification document. A screenshot will be saved to keep a record of such video conference and/or Selfie. The Hirer may also be requested to submit a Selfie in front of the vehicle before the booking to prove the driver is the Hirer.
- The Hirer and/or the Authorised Driver(s) must not be an individual who is or has been a declared (or undeclared or discharged or undischarged) bankrupt and/or an individual who is being charged for bankruptcy. If the Hirer and/or the Authorised Driver(s) attempts to (i) register for a membership with Tribecar, (ii) tries to maintain a suspended/active membership with Tribecar, and/or (iii) continues to use the Services provided by Tribecar, he or she will be reported to relevant authorities for attempting or actively maintaining a contractual relationship without prior approval by the relevant authorities. Additionally, if an individual who has a membership with Tribecar is subsequently found to be a declared (or undeclared or discharged or undischarged) bankrupt, Tribecar shall be entitled to unilaterally, without notification, terminate the relationship and/or any agreement with the aforesaid Hirer, including the right to forfeit any amount due to the Hirer which is held by Tribecar. For avoidance of doubt, Tribecar does not permit or accept any Hirer that is or has been a declared/undeclared/discharged/undischarged bankrupt. Furthermore, if the Hirer/Authorised Driver/individual operates Tribecar's vehicles (the "Vehicles" and each, a "Vehicle") (with or without Tribecar's permission), he/she shall not be entitled to any insurance coverage whatsoever.
- The Hirer may add up to 2 additional named drivers ("Authorised Drivers") for his booking if he checks on "Additional Driver (s)" under the optional add-ons before completion of the booking and agrees to pay an additional surcharge as listed. The addition of such Authorised Drivers as a named driver of the Vehicle shall be subject to Tribecar’s sole and absolute discretion. Authorised Drivers must be with the Account Holder during the booking at all times for the insurance to be valid. Authorised Drivers are not allowed to drive the rented vehicle without the Account Holder's presence.
-
The Hirer agrees not to:
- make or permit to be made any repairs or adjustments to be made to the Vehicle without prior immediate notification to Tribecar of the extent of the damages to the Vehicle and approval by Tribecar for ratification;
- remove or deface any identification marks or plates affixed to the Vehicle;
- fit any accessories to or to modify the Vehicle in any way without the consent of Tribecar; and

If the Hirer is a New Driver, the Hirer hereby acknowledges and agrees that he/she will be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:-
- For the period which the Hirer remains a New Driver, the Hirer shall only be permitted to make bookings and/or drive Vehicles as permitted and listed/made available for use by New Drivers.

- The Hirer is wholly responsible for the security of his membership and account with Tribecar. The Hirer must use a strong password for his login account and guard the use of his account against unauthorised usage. As it is possible to gain access to Hirer's Tribecar membership or account through the Hirer's email or computing device such as smartphone, the Hirer must also exercise necessary care to protect these access points against unauthorised access and usage as well. If Tribecar suffers a loss due to the Hirer's action or inaction to guard the use of his account by unauthorized users for any and all reasons, the Hirer shall be wholly responsible for the losses suffered by Tribecar. If the Hirer suspects his account is compromised, he must inform Tribecar immediately but such notice do not absolve Hirer's responsible to any and all losses of Tribecar.

- Tribecar strives to provide the highest and most comprehensive insurance and protection coverage for our members. Said coverage may change from time to time due to market conditions and as a result, said coverage may expand or reduce. Given such circumstances and in consideration for the safety of the member and the public, Tribecar reserves the right to decline any membership application and/or hold and cease memberships of existing members. In its sole discretion, Tribecar may also determine if the member's (or applicant's) mental and physical abilities (or disabilities) may impair their ability to safely and considerately maintain their membership or to operate a Vehicle provided by the membership.

- The Hirer is only authorised to use the Vehicle during the period of his/her (fully paid for) reservation (in accordance with Clause 3) ("Rental Period"). This use may be reasonably extended by a booking extension made via the Website. If the Hirer continues to use/operate the vehicle beyond the end of his/her reservation, he/she shall be charged late fees (in accordance with the Penalty Charges pursuant to Clause 11). However, should the use/operation of the vehicle extend beyond the end of the reservation by 2 hours or more, the use/operation of the vehicle by the Hirer shall no longer be authorised or permitted by Tribecar. In which case, insurance coverage and any potential insurance claims due to accidents during this unauthorised/unpermitted use will be denied.

This may involve the Hirer taking a Selfie in front of the Vehicle before, during and/or after the booking. If the Hirer fails to do as instructed, the Hirer's account may be suspended for investigation and the Hirer is considered to have failed to comply with Tribecar instructions.
If there is any issue arising from the use of the Vehicle that will cause the car to be quantifiably unsafe for the driver, passenger or third party property and life, the Hirer must stop the operation of the Vehicle and report it immediately to Tribecar. This includes but is not limited to engine overheating/seizing, tires that have been punctured, brakes not functioning properly and loss of control of steering.
