I want look for overnight parking in JB sentral.
I heard cars get broken in or stolen 😵‍💫😨

Please recommend me a secure parking place in JB.

Park elsewhere and take a grab

Where? Senai Airport?

Some affluent Taman or relative/friends place

Drive straight into SG la

Park in the mall or hotel la

Need vehicle entry permit to drive into SG.
Takes 3 weeks to get it.

Has the rules changed?

We used to drive in, filled the form, buy the card. Officer will verify the road tax validity.

Top up the card at 7 11.

All cars get 10 free VEP days

Now everything need to do online.

Not like last time.

Better take carpool while waiting for the approval. I think currently there is no good price + safe + near to bsi parking lots.

If you're willing to pay through the nose then you can park at Attrus which is just a few streets away (few hundred meters) from JB Sentral. RM20/day. CCTV coverage of the entire parking lot and it's pretty safe. Used to be RM8/day until they went full Yahudi. Tbh I've never really heard of people breaking into cars in the general JB city center area.

Thanks. I ended up parked in Amari.
Seems good.

What is the rate?

RM30 a day.

drive the crapiest car you have to minimize attraction

Well I was driving from KL to JB.

The first and most important thing is to drive a car that is comfortable and safe for long distance journeys.

If I have a bit more for safe and secure parking then I have to live with it.

May i know need to inform hotel management we park the car overnight without stay their hotel?

No need. The parking is open to public.
Just that the charges are not cheap so less cars parks there.

Just park along any less busy road like those near cimb/ocbc for whole day only RM6 payable by MBJB app. Next day click for another whole day. Going to try day soon as I am going into Singapore for 3 days.

Nearer CIQ, open car parks only RM20 a day.

Now all online. Need to register on Onemotoring.com.sg and have scans of the required documents. Then once submit need pay SGD10 and once approved. U need go make appointment at 1 of 2 designated AutoPass shops to collect your AutoPass card.

AutoPass card will have a value of SGD4 and is valid until your road tax expires. Then if u want to use after 1 year have to submit for renewal but no need to pay.

Process normally takes 2 weeks then make appointment can only do 5 days after get approval email. Email u need to print and keep in the car incase SG Immigration want to see.

Forgot to add, u no need go 7-11 to top up. Download NETS apps and u can scan the Autopass card using NFC to perform top up.

Don't park at city square. If.park overnight the charges are double and can reach to hundreds

They don’t allow overnight parking. I saw few cars kena clamped

do remember there is pasar karat ard Ocbc there, so pick wisely where u park

Wa. Why drive all the way to jb and park the car for 3 weeks lol.

Yes pasar malam every nite. If parked wrong lots, the vehicle will be towed away in the evening. Have seen towing when I was at the pasar malam. If lots not used for pasar malam stall, your car may be trapped and cannot leave till end of pasar malam. So it's right to say pick wisely where u park.

If need to park for 3 weeks, the parking charges in JB town will be insane. Might as well rent a car that allowed return of car at destination point. Or park at some megamart like lotus in terbau for free parking and grab to town. But I have seen a car in the middle of a huge open and not crowded car park at Aeon Dato Onn got wheel clamped. Likely a case of parking free several nights

holy cow, really every night now?

really dunno what town council is planning

Few area can park:
UTC JB
High Court JB

You mean car parks under MBJB? There are many around town but almost impossible to get any lot in the day time and some places too secluded. On top oof that, many cars are parking illegally all over town, in side lanes, in back lanes and in deserted places and in front of landed properties and condos. The laws here are very lax. Cars can be abandoned in legal parking lots with multiple summons and yet not towed away for months. Even my condo got cars with thick layer of dust occupying the lots for months like abandoned cars

Some operator count one day as 12 hours only and thereafter $$$ per hour,
