Gojek has expanded its offerings in Singapore – the hometown of its archrival Grab – with the introduction of GoCar Premium, an on-demand service for luxury vehicles.

The new feature will roll out to all users in the city-state on February 14 with a fleet of premium taxis and four-seater vehicles, with each luxury car offering a spacious interior and plush seating. Gojek said that users can also expect improved wait times and greater ride availability as more premium cars get onboarded.
On the driver-partner side, GoCar Premium can offer them about 30% to 50% higher fares than the regular GoCar service. Platform fees for consumers and service fees for drivers remain unchanged.
“Riders and driver-partners can expect further service enhancements in the near future as we prioritize providing the best experiences for our users, in both the immediate and longer-term,” said Lien Choong Luen, general manager of Gojek Singapore.

The launch of GoCar Premium follows Gojek’s recent rollouts of GoCar XL, GoCorp, and GoTaxi in Singapore. Outside the country, Gojek-backed electric vehicle firm Electrum recently announced a partnership with Taiwanese battery station maker Gogoro to build infrastructure for Indonesia’s EV scene.
