Singapore Carpark Availability & Parking Guide
π’ Coverage Across HDB, URA & Shopping Malls
SingaNow connects directly to official municipal datasets to provide real-time parking vacancy across Singapore:
- Housing & Development Board (HDB): Real-time available spaces across multi-storey and surface car parks in all 24 HDB towns.
- Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA): City center parking lots and surface spaces across the Central Business District, Chinatown, Tanjong Pagar, and Little India.
- Commercial Shopping Malls & LTA: Major retail hubs along Orchard Road, Marina Bay Sands, Suntec City, VivoCity, and regional commercial nodes.
π Vehicle Lot Types & Classification
Our real-time engine distinguishes between vehicle categories to prevent motorists from heading towards incompatible spaces:
- Cars (C): Standard passenger sedan, SUV, and MPV parking spaces.
- Motorcycles (Y): Designated two-wheeler lots with concessionary per-minute or daily caps.
- Heavy Vehicles (H): Bus, lorry, and commercial vehicle parking bays in industrial estates and heavy vehicle parks.
π³ Electronic Parking System (EPS) & Grace Periods
Singapore's barrier-free Electronic Parking System (EPS) scans your vehicle's In-vehicle Unit (IU) upon entry and exit, debiting your CEPAS / EZ-Link / CashCard or backend card account. Standard HDB and URA car parks offer a 10 to 15-minute grace periodβideal for passenger drop-offs and courier deliveries without incurring parking fees.
ποΈ High-Demand Parking Hotspots & Tips
Heading into crowded retail and commercial districts? Plan ahead to avoid peak-hour gantry queues:
- Orchard Road: Weekday parking is often more economical at Far East Plaza or Plaza Singapura compared to high-end luxury centres.
- Marina Bay & City Hall: Suntec City and Marina Square provide expansive multi-level parking within short walking distance of the financial core.
- Jurong East & Tampines: Regional retail centres (Jem, Westgate, Tampines Mall) experience peak parking demand on weekend afternoons.
Frequently Asked Questions about Singapore Parking

What is the grace period for HDB and URA carparks?
