Drive lah: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Drive lah, a start-up based in Singapore, was founded in January 2019 as a peer-to-peer car sharing platform. The company offers a wide range of cars available for rent at affordable prices, and all trips booked through Drive lah are insured by Tokio Marine, our insurance partner. The main concept behind Drive lah is to address the high cost of car ownership in Singapore, where most cars are parked and only used 5% of the time. By allowing car owners to rent out their vehicles when they are not in use, Drive lah helps reduce the cost of ownership. Renters can take advantage of these available cars at a good value. In line with the growing trend of on-demand services in various fields such as taxi, food, and beauty, Drive lah aims to lead the way in providing convenient and simplified car access for traveling long distances.

About FundedIQ's Drive lah Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Drive lah is left off this page rather than filled in.
