Have you ever used a valet service to get home after drinking? Singapore's nightlife scene is an exciting one, especially amongst the younger crowd and the affluent who drive but need their swig of liquor to end the workweek with a bang. Drink-driving is never a cool thing to boast about, plus it's nowhere near fun to get into trouble with the authorities, to endanger your own and other people's lives, and to get your license revoked.
Despite the alcohol ban and relatively expensive alcohol prices in Singapore, drinkers show no sign of letting up. In fact, demand for drive-home valet services has risen more than ever. Here, we at GET.com compiled this list of 4 valet service providers you could consider checking out the next time you go drinking with your automobile.

We all know how costly it is to drive in Singapore with things like COE, road tax, ERP, parking charges, fuel and so on. Petrol can be be a huge cost to those who drive a lot, so if you're one of these people who drives everywhere you go, consider getting your hands on credit cards that give you petrol savings if you don't already own them.

Similarly, OCBC 365 Credit Card is another great card to consider if you spend a significant amount on fuel and earn at least $30,000 annually. This card allows you to save up to 18.3 per cent on fuel at Caltex and Esso.
