How to save your parking fare in Singapore?

I went to Singapore on last weekend because my wife wanted to meet her parents who traveled from Alor Setar to Singapore to visit my brother-in-law’s newborn baby.

Parking in Singapore is not cheap. If you park in a building either a shopping complex or hotels etc, the parking fee starts from few Sing Dollars per hour. If you park at public parking with coupons, you can park at roadside (of course with parking lot) or HDB’s parking, the fare is $1 per hour. So, if you park for one day from 7am-10:30pm (15.5 hours), you need to use $15.50 day coupon, which is equivalent to RM37. That’s the day parking; you still need to pay for night parking as well, which is $2(RM4.8) from 10.30pm to 7am. So, total for one day’s parking in Singapore’s HDB car park is around RM42, much more expensive than the parking fare in KLIA & LCCT – RM36.50 per day.

But, there is a way to save your parking fare in Singapore with free parking!

Look for the nearby “landed property”, we called “terrace house” in Malaysia. You can park in their “taman” as long as you are not blocking their entrance (gate), no blocking the traffic and there is no yellow line.

But it also depends on your luck because a lot of local people will park their cars there also and there is not many landed property in Singapore.

Anyway, I went Singapore for 3 days 2 nights but I have saved more than RM100 on parking, that’s a lot of money!
