Autobahn Rent A Car Halts Rentals as Creditors Move to Repossess 1,700-Vehicle Fleet

Insurance cancellations after its failed court bid have taken many cars off the road.

Overview

  • Autobahn withdrew its High Court appeal and said it will work with hirers and lenders to return leased vehicles.
  • LTA said some policies were not renewed or were cancelled, which makes affected cars unlawful to operate on public roads.
  • Receiver Baker Tilly, appointed for 58 financed cars, says it has not located the vehicles and has posted their registration numbers to reach drivers.
  • Autobahn and related entities owe more than S$300 million, with banks including DBS, UOB, OCBC and Maybank among creditors.
  • NTUC, LTA, Grab, ComfortDelGro and Strides Premier are coordinating short-term vehicle access for displaced drivers, with waived deposits and early rental incentives.
