Want to head out for a meal? Don’t let parking fees hike up your lunch or dinner bills! The cost of owning a car in Singapore may be high, but free parking is one way that can help you save a little more. 

No matter if you’re heading out for lunch or dinner, here’s our list of best mealtime parking spots across the island that won’t cost you a cent. 

Best free parking spots during lunchtime  

With many of us returning to the office, lunchtime crowds are back once more. If you are looking for a spot to escape from the grind, here are some places where you can take a breather – with the added bonus of not having to pay for parking!

Top free carparks for lunch

Enjoy free parking worth $6.60 from 12-3pm on weekdays, when you spend a minimum of $30 in a single receipt! That’s easy peasy considering the variety of restaurants located around the mall. 

All you have to do is redeem your complimentary parking coupon at the Esplanade Box Office and Visitor Centre (Mezzanine level) on the same day. However, free parking coupons are available on a first-come-first serve basis, so don’t dawdle!

Free parking spots in Orchard are hard to find but not entirely impossible, thanks to Orchard Central’s free parking promotion. With a minimum spend of $100 across no more than two same-day receipts, you can redeem a parking coupon worth $4.40.

Without it, you might have to settle for carpark rates that start from $3.10 for the first 1.5 hours and $1.50 per half hour after. The free parking coupons are available while stocks last only and are limited to one redemption per person each day.

Easties, rejoice! Weekday parking at Our Tampines Hub is free from 12pm to 2pm. With such a high saturation of food options in the area, this free parking spot is a no brainer. Thinking of staying beyond this period? Parking fees are at an affordable $0.02 per minute from 12 midnight to 5.59pm.
