Recently I scoffed at headlines that parking in Singapore is cheap, as we came out #50 on a global list at US$21.53 per day. I guess it’s all relative depending on your earning power. Anyway the most expensive place in the world to park, is London at US$933 monthly and the cheapest is Chennai at US$0.96 monthly, but you have to also take into consideration the quality of living, so I am not too surprised. It’s no wonder our friends in London take the tube or bus instead, but they say it’s due to the standstill traffic.
We are always in search of the cheapest parking rates. Of course free parking would be best. You can find all the rates at One Motoring, but I thought it would be good to highlight some of the more prominent malls and places with cheaper parking rates, that I like.
