ComfortDelGro Taxi

Other than Grab and Gojek, you may have heard of Zig by ComfortDelGro – the newest ride-hailing competitor in town. And for us users, that spells one thing: promo codes. To promote their launch, they’re now offering $3 off unlimited rides with the code “ZIG3OFF”

Similarly to Grab, you can book your rides on Zig at either a metered fare or a “fixed” price – which is subject to demand surge but fixed upon booking (like JustGrab). The main difference between this app and the rest is that all their vehicles are from ComfortDelGro.

Taxi bookings aside, Zig also offers a range of other perks like route planning if you’re taking public transport and F&B promotions. Read our article on Zig for more information. 

Promotion period: Until 18th May 2021

Moving on to the favourite four-letter word of many a 90s kid: Zouk. The biggest nightclub in Singapore is where many of us partied our nights away, only to leave in the wee hours of the morning, both buzzed and tired at the same time.

You can now don a memento of the nightclub with their merchandise collection, now going 1-for-1 – one for you and the other for your clubbing buddy. Merch on promotion includes their T-shirts (U.P. $50), sweatshirts (U.P. $80) and hoodies (U.P. $80).
