What is the Century Square parking rate on weekdays?

Monday to Friday rates

On weekdays, the car park at Century Square charges $1.35 for the first hour between 6:00am and 5:59pm, according to the Land Transport Authority’s official parking database. Each additional 30 minutes or part thereof costs $0.70. The mall’s own website confirms these exact figures, giving drivers certainty before they enter.

Evening and night rates

Once the clock rolls past 6pm, the tariff switches to a flat $2.60 per entry. This evening rate covers the entire stretch from 6:01pm through to 5:59am the next morning — cheaper than feeding coins hour by hour if you’re staying for dinner and a movie at the mall’s cinema. The Motorist Singapore rate compilation notes a minor variance ($2.50–$2.60) across secondary sources, but the LTA and official mall site both settle on $2.60 as of 2026.

The implication: if your weekday visit falls between 6am and 6pm, you are better off timing it for a single block — the first hour at $1.35 is a better deal than splitting your stay into two separate sessions.

Century square parking rate sunday?

Saturday and Sunday rates

Sunday parking at Century Square follows the same structure as Saturday — not a separate tier. The first hour costs $1.60, and every subsequent 30 minutes or part thereof adds another $0.70. Both the LTA and Century Square’s official site confirm this.

Flat rate details

Weekend daytime parking — from 6:00am to 6:00pm — carries a flat rate of $2.60 per entry. This is a single charge regardless of whether you park for 30 minutes or the full six hours, which makes it straightforward for shoppers who want predictability rather than watching the clock. The ParkMe aggregator lists this as the maximum daytime rate for Saturday and Sunday.

What this means: for a shopper who typically stays two to three hours on a Sunday, the $2.60 flat rate works out to roughly $0.87–$1.30 per hour — less per hour than the weekday first-hour rate of $1.35.

Is there free parking at Century Square?

Free parking times

Century Square does not advertise complimentary parking hours in its standard tariff schedule. The LTA’s published rates list no free window for this location, and the mall’s own parking information page confirms charges apply across all operating hours.

Conditions for free parking

Some Singapore malls offer free parking with a minimum spend at participating tenants, but Century Square’s current promotions page does not list such an offer. Season parking holders receive unlimited in-and-out access as part of their monthly pass — effectively “free” compared to hourly rates — but that requires a $120 monthly commitment. The Frasers Experience promotion page notes that existing season parking holders are excluded from the current promotional offer, and the scheme operates on a first-come, first-served basis.

What to watch

Century Square is one of several malls in Singapore that have reduced or eliminated free-parking periods in recent years. Nearby, Aperia offers free parking from 6:30pm to 9:59pm on weekday evenings — a notable contrast for drivers willing to shift their visit timing.

The catch: free parking at Century Square is essentially not available under standard rates. For regular visitors, the $120/month season parking pass may pay for itself if you visit more than nine times a month at the weekday flat-evening rate of $2.60 per visit.

Century Square season parking?

Season parking options

Frasers Experience is currently running a season parking promotion at Century Square priced at $120 per month, valid from 28 November 2024 while stocks last, according to the official promotion page. New sign-ups and referrals each receive a $10 FairPrice Finest voucher — a small sweetener for committing to a regular parking spot. However, the promotion excludes existing season parking holders and Frasers reserves the right to amend terms without prior notice.

How to apply

Interested drivers need to collect their season parking voucher from the Customer Service Counter on Level 3 of Century Square. The promotion operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is worth calling ahead during busy periods to confirm availability before making the trip to the mall.

Bottom line: Drivers who park at Century Square more than nine times a month should consider the $120/month season pass — it beats paying $2.60 per evening visit. Casual shoppers benefit most from the weekday first-hour rate at $1.35.

How to pay for Century Square parking?

Payment methods

Century Square’s car park uses the Electronic Parking System (EPS) — Singapore’s standard cashless parking infrastructure. According to ParkMe, accepted payment methods include coins, notes, Mastercard and Visa cards, and pay-by-phone options. The car park also offers covered parking and EV charging amenities.

2 hour parking payment

For a typical two-hour weekday visit (say, 10am to noon), a driver would pay $1.35 for the first hour plus $0.70 × 2 additional 30-minute blocks — totalling $2.75. The same two-hour slot on a Saturday costs $1.60 plus $0.70 × 2 = $3.00, or the $2.60 flat rate if the visit spans the full two hours during the daytime window.

How to use the Century Square car park

  1. Drive to the entrance. Century Square is located at 2 Tampines Central 5, Singapore 529509. The car park entrance is accessible from the main mall access points.
  2. Collect a ticket. Take a parking ticket on entry. The barrier will rise automatically.
  3. Shop or run errands. Park in any available bay — the car park operates on a standard hourly rate during the day.
  4. Return before you pay. Head to the payment machines near the lift lobbies or exit barriers before you leave.
  5. Select your duration. Enter your ticket and choose cash (coins or notes) or card. Pay-by-phone users follow the prompts for EPS transactions.
  6. Exit. Insert the paid ticket at the barrier. The system processes the payment and raises the exit barrier.
The trade-off

Century Square’s weekday first-hour rate of $1.35 undercuts nearby Aperia ($1.64) and Siglap Centre ($1.68), making it the cheaper option for short daytime visits in the East. However, its Saturday first-hour rate of $1.60 is pricier than Nex Mall in the North-East ($1.40), so drivers who comparison-shop should factor in both their destination and the day of the week.
