If you searched "BlueSG near me" and the app showed nothing, you are not going mad. BlueSG paused its electric car-sharing service on 8 August 2025, scrapped the blue Bolloré Bluecars, and shut its charging network on 30 September 2025. The same company, BlueSG Pte Ltd, relaunched in 2026 under a new name: Flexar. Public beta opened 15 April 2026 and the full service launched 4 May 2026 with about 200 cars across roughly 100 pick-up and drop-off points. The model is still point-to-point, so you grab a car at one station and leave it at another. This guide covers where the cars sit now, the 2026 per-minute rates, who can sign up, and how to actually find one near you.
BlueSG launched in December 2017 as Singapore's first electric car-sharing fleet, starting with 80 cars and 30 stations and growing to roughly 667 vehicles and 374 stations by the end of 2020. Goldbell Group bought it in October 2021, while TotalEnergies took over the 1,500-point charging network in July 2021.
On 8 August 2025 BlueSG paused operations with about four days' notice. The ageing Bluecars were retired, the newer Opel Corsa-e cars were sold off to used-car dealers, and the public charging network was switched off on 30 September 2025. For most of late 2025 and early 2026, typing "BlueSG near me" returned dead pins.
The brand came back in 2026. BlueSG Pte Ltd relaunched the service as Flexar, kept the point-to-point idea, and dropped the things people complained about most: the membership fee and the deposit. If you are weighing car-sharing against owning, our car cost calculator shows what a private car actually costs per month before you compare.
At the May 2026 launch, Flexar ran about 200 cars across roughly 100 pick-up and drop-off points. The points cluster in central, northern, north-eastern and eastern residential estates rather than blanketing the whole island the way old BlueSG eventually did.
Estates with launch coverage include Punggol, Sengkang, Hougang, Tampines, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh. The fastest way to see live availability is the Flexar app, which maps the nearest free cars and shows which station you can drop at. There is no public web map that matches a phone GPS, so the app is the practical answer to "BlueSG near me" in 2026.
Update, 14 October 2026: Flexar's new rate card from 1 October prices each minute by when your booking starts, drops the distance charge and includes collision damage cover. Flexar charges by the minute, with the first five minutes free and a lower rate after the first hour. The rates below are as of October 2026 from Flexar's own pricing page. Your rate is locked in when you reserve, so driving into a pricier slot does not change it.
Fuel and charging are included in the per-minute price, and there is no distance fee. Each trip carries a $0.99 platform fee. ERP tolls and parking are not included, so budget separately if your route passes a gantry. Flexar's own example puts a typical 30-minute ride from October at around $18 to $23.
| Time slot | When it applies | First hour | After 1 hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saver | 2am to 5:59am daily; midnight to 1:59am Mon to Fri; 10am to 3:59pm Mon to Thu | $0.67 | $0.59 |
| Weekday | 6am to 9:59am and 4pm to 11:59pm Mon to Thu; 6am to 3:59pm Fri | $0.82 | $0.60 |
| Weekend | 4pm to 11:59pm Fri; Sat and Sun outside 2am to 5:59am | $0.88 | $0.80 |
Two charges sit outside the per-minute rate: a $0.99 platform fee on every trip, and a $0.99 fuel or electricity surcharge when market prices pass Flexar's threshold. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is now included in every rental at no extra cost.
Flexar is open to drivers aged 18 and above with a valid driving licence. Sign-up is done through Singpass and MyInfo, which pulls your details automatically, so there is no manual form to fill or document upload for citizens and residents.
Unlike the old BlueSG, there is no membership fee and no security deposit. You register once and pay only for the minutes you drive, plus a $0.99 platform fee on each trip. That removes the upfront cost that used to put off occasional drivers.
The big structural difference is point-to-point. Flexar lets you collect a car at one station and end the trip at a different one, which suits a one-way commute. GetGo and Tribecar are round-trip: you must return the car to its home bay, which suits errands and day trips but wastes money if you only need a one-way hop.
Cost-wise, per-minute pricing punishes short, slow, traffic-heavy trips and rewards longer drives because the rate steps down. For frequent or whole-day use, an hourly platform such as GetGo can work out cheaper. We break the maths down in our car sharing vs Grab and taxi cost guide and the deeper GetGo cost guide if you want the per-trip break-even.
| Feature | Flexar (ex-BlueSG) | GetGo / Tribecar |
|---|---|---|
| Trip model | Point-to-point (A to B) | Round-trip (return to home bay) |
| Pricing | Per minute, tiered, first 5 min free | Per hour or per minute, plan-dependent |
| Deposit / membership | None | Usually none, some plans vary |
| Fuel / charging | Included | EV charging often included; petrol usually included |
| Fleet | Mixed EV and petrol | Mostly petrol, some EVs |
| Best for | One-way commute or hop | Errands, day trips, return journeys |
Flexar makes sense if you take occasional one-way trips in the north or east and want zero upfront cost. The free first five minutes and tiered rate also help if your drives run longer than an hour. It works against you for short stop-start city trips, where the first-hour rate of $0.67 to $0.88 a minute adds up fast, or if you live in an estate with no nearby station.
If you are using car-sharing because owning feels out of reach, run the numbers properly. A car-sharing habit of a few trips a month rarely beats owning on convenience, but it almost always beats it on cost. Pair this with your monthly budget using our personal budget calculator before you decide whether you need a car at all.
Not under the BlueSG name. The electric car-sharing service paused on 8 August 2025 and the charging network shut on 30 September 2025. The same company relaunched the service as Flexar, with public beta from 15 April 2026 and full launch on 4 May 2026.
Use the Flexar app, which maps live availability around your location and shows valid drop-off stations. At launch there were about 100 pick-up and drop-off points and 200 cars, concentrated in estates like Punggol, Sengkang, Hougang, Tampines, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh.
The first five minutes are free. Since 1 October 2026 the rate depends on when your booking starts: $0.67 to $0.88 a minute for the first hour, then $0.59 to $0.80 a minute, as of October 2026. Each trip adds a $0.99 platform fee, and there is no distance charge. Fuel and charging are included; ERP and parking are not.
No. Unlike the old BlueSG, Flexar charges no membership fee and no security deposit. You sign up through Singpass and MyInfo if you are 18 or older with a valid driving licence, then pay only for the minutes you drive, plus a $0.99 platform fee on each trip.
