The Cheapest and Most Expensive Car Parks in Singapore
Before shopping on Sundays, check out which are the cheapest and most expensive car park rates in the City Hall / Orchard area. With the ERP-like automated gantries collecting car park fees, most drivers do not really know how much they pay when they patronize these shopping centres. So before you go downtown for shopping, do check out the carpark rates below. It will help you make some savings while you shop.
The building's carpark rates are indicative of what the weekday rates are like too. But their rates are not as absurd as those car parks in the Shenton Way / CBD area. Most CBD car parks charge $2 plus per half an hour (or $16 for 4 hours) during office hours! The most expensive car park lot is Shenton House ($3 per 1/2 hour) which works out to $24 for 4 hours of parking during office hours! So people with noisy, over-priced Lamborghinis, this is the place where you won't get your cars scratched.

Colliers International recently ranked Singapore as the 12th most expensive place to park a car in the 17 Asia Pacific cities surveyed by them. According to Colliers, the estimated median of unreserved parking in Singapore is US$182.00 (S$249.34) per month. In global terms, Singapore ranked the 68th most expensive in terms of car parks out of the 138 cities surveyed.
This high cost of parking is attributed to the limited availability of parking space in the Central Business District (CBD). The recent ruling that building developers have the flexibility to provide up to 20 per cent fewer parking lots than the prevailing car parking provisions standards for commercial buildings have motivated many building owners to convert some of their carpark space into retail / office space - further curtailing the number of car park space available.
What with a ratio of 12 cars per 100 Singaporeans, you can only expect car park rates to go up faster than your blood pressure rates. This figure implies one car per 2.1 Singapore families (100 / 12 / 4 ) - assuming a family unit of 4.
