From this point, you can easily walk to Bugis Junction, Bugis MRT Station, and even to the vibrant Arab Street. While you are there exploring the Bugis, there are so many hourly hotels available in the district to give you a place for a quick rest.

The parking rates at Duxton Hill Car Park are comparably low compared to most public car parks in Singapore. If you are exploring Chinatown or having a staycation at one of the hotels in the area, this spot is reliable for parking your vehicle.

Also, due to its prime location, this car park tends to be full at peak hours. Fortunately, the turnover is pretty quick. Most people said they didn’t have to wait for too long to get an empty lot. And even if you are unlucky enough for that, you can drive up to the nearby Maxwell or Craig Road car parks instead.

It is the perfect option if you plan to venture through the shopping belt of Orchard Road or go for a staycation at nearby hotels. 

Sure, the rates will be higher than most public car parks in Singapore, given the location. However, the electronic gantries make parking more efficient and easier. Its big capacity and fast turnover also make the high rates worth it.

Pro Tips for Stress-Free Parking in Singapore

Public car parks in Singapore are abundant, but you still need to know how to do it right. One wrong move, and you might end up stressing yourself. Here are the pro tips for convenient and efficient parking;

1. Always Plan Ahead

Plan your route and choose where to park your vehicle every time you decide to go out for a drive. Let’s get real – you don’t want to stress yourself or pay a hefty price for parking problems. Remember, always have alternatives just in case the car park you choose doesn’t have an empty lot when you get there.

2. Consider Drive & Ride

If you are heading to a hot spot where parking lots might be crowded and expensive, consider parking outside the area. Find the car park near the MRT station or bus stop where it is only one ride away from your destination. Sometimes, this trick is cheaper, faster, and much less stressful. 

3. Check Your Shopping Bonus

Parking can be free if you meet the minimum spend at a shopping mall. If you plan to drive and go shopping, you might want to check the mall’s promo about this. Keep the receipts for all the transactions you make for the day in the mall to redeem your benefit. Bear in mind that this benefit is only valid for the mall’s car park, not all public car parks in Singapore.

FAQs

Can I park my car on the roads in Singapore for just a few minutes?

Unless it is a designated road parking lot at the right hour, you are NOT ALLOWED to park, even for just running a quick errand, like grabbing a takeout. Authorities may issue a fine ranging from SGD 70 to 340, depending on the vehicle size and severity of the negative impacts caused by the action. If you are not around your car when the authority comes, your car might get towed, which may lead to even heftier penalties.

Are there lots for bikes and motorcycles in public car parks in Singapore?

Most public car parks in Singapore have designated lots for motorcycles, but not all do. Parking rates are much cheaper than for cars, especially if you have a CSP (Concessionary Season Parking) pass. Bike racks are even more common to find. Not only in car parks, but also in many public places like MRT stations and HDB blocks. Most of them are free, but you will need to have your own lock to secure your bike.
