What's the most I'll pay? (HDB parking caps)
Short-term charges are capped, so a long stay never runs away:
- Daytime, 7am–10:30pm: capped at $12 outside Central, $20 within Central.
- Overnight, 10:30pm–7am: capped at $5 at car parks with the Night Parking Scheme (NPS).
- Whole day, 7am–7am: capped at $12 / $20 at NPS car parks.
These caps do not apply at selected popular car parks with peak-hour charges, which cost more during peak periods.
Is HDB parking cheaper at night?
Yes. HDB car parks aren't free, but overnight is cheapest: at Night Parking Scheme car parks you pay at most $5 between 10:30pm and 7am. The Central Area also drops to the $0.60 half-hour rate outside Mon–Sat 7am–5pm.
Central Area vs non-Central — what's the difference?
Only a defined list of car parks is “Central Area” and charges the higher $1.20 half-hour daytime rate — including Albert Centre, Bras Basah Complex, Tekka Centre, The Pinnacle @ Duxton, Kreta Ayer Road, Sago Lane, Selegie Road, Tanjong Pagar Plaza and Waterloo Centre. Everywhere else is the non-central $0.60 rate.
HDB season parking rates (2026)
Park at the same estate daily? Season parking is a flat monthly fee, usually far cheaper than short-term. Charges are tiered: Tier 1 is your household's first car; Tier 2 covers second cars onward and non-residents, and costs more — sharply so in car-lite areas.
Tier 1 — first car (monthly):
| Car park type | Car | Motorcycle | Commercial |
|---|
| Surface / kerbside | $80 | $15 | $185 |
| Sheltered (multi-storey) | $110 | $17 | $185 |
| Special precinct | $95 | — | — |
Tier 2 — second car onward / non-residents (car, monthly — varies by zone):
| Zone | Surface / kerbside | Sheltered |
|---|
| Rest of island (most estates) | $90 | $120 |
| Designated area | $150 | $170 |
| Restricted zone / car-lite precinct | $165 | $190 |
- Family Season Parking (FSP): half the Tier 1 rate — e.g. $55/month for a car at a multi-storey car park — to park near your immediate family's home.
- Motorcycles: concessionary season parking lets you park in unreserved lots at all HDB car parks with no short-term charges.

How do I check my exact parking fee?
Tap your card or use the Parking.sg app at the car park, or check charges on HDB's website. The rates above are the current published charges — always confirm at the car park, as peak-hour car parks differ.
