Load it up with SIM card, and throw away the packaging box. If found by M'sia custom still packed nicely in the box, will kena tax.

If sayang the box, can lipat-lipat to smaller size & hide it somewhere..

Must hide all other "evidence",eg accessary, warranty card, and receipt too.

Singapore taxi charges double after midnight? anyone knows>

Ya. So far the taxi I seat all kiasi and kiasu, will follow the law.

not double, add 50%

anyone here stay at Hotel Bencoolen?

is it good?

Not double, but 50% more.

Singapore taxi -all kind of surcharges: peak hour surcharge(35%), midnight surcharge(50%), CBD surcharge, public holiday surcharge, location surcharge(eg pickup from the airport). Passenger also bears the ERP fee.

anyone stayed at Hotel 81 Dickson before. according to their website, parking is at a public parking with charges.
Anyone knows how much per day?

i dunno got so many "misc" charges beside the 50% midnight surcharge, last 2month i took cab from marina bay -> jurong east (marina bay = center and jurong east is west coach) around $17.50 by that, it was 1pm lunch hour and journey is like 40mins

Hi Guys. Wanna ask. Planning to stay in Hotel 81star. In Geylang better or Joochiat in terms of convenience?

i will drive to Sg by Sept to bring Red wine for confinement months to my fren... can i bring it in? will they fine me or charge me?

btw, do i need to make any custom payment to drive in?

Joo chiat hotel81 tristar is closer to MRT Paya Lebar. Only 600m away compare to Geylang Hotel81 which is abit further at ~ 800m from Al-Junied MRT.

will they fine me or charge me? Malaysia side or Sinkapo?

When I drove in, at Tuas, the custom at Malaysian side, was no where to be seen!

On reaching Sinkapo side at the immigration check point, was ask to register and pay their Autopass Card since I didn't have. Initial amount is $10 and they will auto deduct about $5 so you will need to top up, depends on how many days you will be passing the ERP areas.
After immigration point, you proceed to have your car check by the Sinkapo custom. They only check for illegal contraband like drugs and fire arms. They did bother about my Penang Biskut and other food stuff. Under 3 minutes, they check finish and off I go.

Beside the Autopass card, the only other charges is the Toll charges.

Any other question?

ok ok.. so i will drive in & buy the card lar (SG side).... coz i will straight to the hotel then i think i will park my car there. shouldnt be a problem lar...

thanks alot ^^

straight to the hotel?
ok, just take note on which day of the week you're travelling to your hotel and using ERP roads or not?
And also leaving Sinkapo. Advice to have enough credit in your Autopass.
