## How this works
HDB charges cars 60 cents per half-hour outside the Central Area. At the 16 Central Area car parks (such as Waterloo Centre, Tekka Centre and The Pinnacle@Duxton) it is S$1.20 per half-hour from 7am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, and 60 cents at other times. Electronic car parks bill per minute, so 20 minutes costs 40 cents, and you pay nothing if you leave within the 15-minute grace period.

Caps: day parking (7am to 10.30pm) is capped at S$12 a day, or S$20 in the Central Area. At car parks with the Night Parking Scheme, 10.30pm to 7am is capped at S$5 and a whole 7am-to-7am day at S$12 (S$20 Central Area). The caps do not apply at the popular car parks with peak-hour charges (80 cents, or S$1.40 in the Central Area, per half-hour during their peak periods).

Under the Free Parking Scheme, most HDB car parks are free from 7am to 10.30pm on Sundays and public holidays (look for the orange sign plate); night parking is still charged. Motorcycles pay 65 cents per lot for the day (7am to 10.30pm) and 65 cents for the night. Heavy vehicles pay S$1.20 per half-hour at all times.

Season parking is a monthly charge set by car park type. Tier 1 applies to a resident household's first car: S$80 for surface and S$110 for sheltered car parks. Tier 2 (second cars and non-residents) is S$90 to S$190 depending on the zone. Rates as published by HDB, pages updated July 2026.
