Generator hire in Singapore: prices and what to specify

Updated 5 November 2026

Generator hire in Singapore costs roughly S$100–S$120 a day for a portable unit under 10 kW and S$400–S$510 a day for a 60 kW set, with monthly rates from about S$320. For prices that match your site and dates, send a request on BlaBlaPrice: the AI checks local rental prices and sellers reply with their own offers.

Rules and approvals to check

Some suppliers advertise NEA-approved diesel generators, and others offer Euro 5 diesel for refuelling, so ask which approval and emissions standard the unit you are hiring carries before it goes on site. Rental quotes are often stated before tax, so confirm whether the total includes tax. Generation licences listed by the energy regulator are tied to units rated at 10 MW or more, so for a hire set ask the seller what rating the unit has and what your site needs.

Season and weather

Singapore is hot all year, so demand does not peak in a winter or a summer; it follows the wet and dry seasons. Rain makes outdoor work and events harder to power, so when the forecast is wet, ask for a set with a weatherproof canopy. For a multi-day job in the heat, ask how often the set is serviced during the hire.

How generators are rented and delivered

Sellers quote per day, per week or per month, and a monthly rate spreads the cost over a long job. Units are sized in kVA and kW, from small portable sets to units of 1,250 kVA or more, so give the total load you need to power rather than the size of one appliance. Delivery is arranged between Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands and Ang Mo Kio; ask whether it is included in the rate, and whether fuel and a refuelling service are too.

What to put in your request

Name the power you need in kW or kVA and what it will run, such as lights, a welder or a site cabin. Say whether you need single-phase or three-phase supply, the fuel type you prefer, and the lease term in days, weeks or months. Add the delivery town, any extras such as cables or a fuel tank, and the monthly rent you can pay. Also say whether the seller will need collateral or a deposit, so that offers can be compared on the same terms.

On BlaBlaPrice a request is free for buyers. Describe the generator, the power, the dates and your town in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if it helps. The AI asks for anything missing, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact.
