Orchard Road is one area in Singapore where it’s notoriously expensive to park your car.
I’m sure we’ve all experienced the horror of arriving at the car park exit gantry, only to find that we’ve racked up over $10 in parking fees (true story). And that’s on top of all the money we’ve spent shopping.
Unless you have loads of things to carry, or are travelling with kids in tow, there’s just no justifying spending that kind of money on what is essentially a place to put your car while you run around doing your errands.
As someone who’s in town way too often, here are the cheapest places to park your car no matter where in town you need to go.
