hey guys, can anyone know any cheapest hotel or hostel can accormodate me and my bf. preferable 2 person one room with a toilet, air cond is a must. hope to find cheapest as we plan to stay there for 5-10 days during singapore sales.

i want to go to universal studio also
cant wait ma

try Roberston quay hotel near Clark Quay. not far from Clark Quay MRT. If you want to walk to city hall, some 20-25min. quite easily to walk I should say. Last yr price $100/N, this yr, I think in hte region of ~$120. Try their hotel home site. I think I had posted it here before. Room wiste not very big..... but I think its good enough as most hotel prices had gone up already.

Just drive -in only-lah no need anything except for 1st timer, you need to stop at the custom cum the Singapore Touch & Go complex adfter the immigration to apply for their version of Topuch & Go (I think they called it cashexpress or something). (You probably wanna bring your road tax slip & reg card incase they ask (Although I dun think necessary0.

Thereafter top-up the S$10 to the card & u are good at driving in to Singapore....Free 10 days roadtax for M'sian exc weekend. Weekday, entry to CBD is at S$5 & chargeable upon exiting Singapore by swiping the TNG card (Ensure sufficient cash inside)

im a 1st timer
oh ya is the Singapore Touch & Go complex and immigration open 24hour?

I'm not sure whether Singapore JB border 24hrs? Normally I enter & out either Morning & night.

U can check earlier posting...or use the search function below on the borde timing.

Anyway entering Singapore is very easy. The only cost is the parking fee & also the S$5 daily toll to CBD. (Except weekend) That you need to worry.

Even parking at any flats & residential area you need to pay & it's not cheap. I remember parking at Sim Lim palza & kena ~S$6 for just ~2-3hrs parking.. Lucky the 7-11 can reload the touch & go card

now im considering to driving or not..haiz....

Anyway you can drive & park inside the hotel..Normally inside hotel is FOC provided you are their guest.

i might be arrive at border around 4am...
im a 1st timer driving there so dont know the procedure...
also dont know the immigration and the Singapore Touch & Go complex open yet or not...

Hehe I'm in a similar situation as you, only I not so bad I'll be arriving at 9 or 10pm this friday. Been to SG tons of times but first time driving in lols.

Uncle Google has advised that before entering singapore we need to register/buy an "AutoPass card" (I guess like what stimix said, it is a touch n go kind of card).

Then we got the option to rent an IU to pay "normal" ERP rates but since the IU rental is sgd5/day seems like makes more sense to just pay the flat ERP rate.

Anyway I'm also a bit worried that 10pm reach SG and then the offices all closed and can't purchase the autopass ... then gotta sleep in the car lols. uncle google doesn't help me here

Malaysian car no need to rent ERP. You just need to pay daily charge. Weekends free.

Yeah. The S$5 ERP charge once entering CBD will be automatically detected by the powerful overhead cameras & once you are out from Singapore, you onloy need to swipe your autopass card & the S$5/day will be deducted together wth the causeway toll charges (I think ~S$1.20 or more??)

Driving into and out of Singapore, check this web lah..

Tnx Ami..1st page info updated wth the latest link provided by Ami.

No problem.

There's one more link on the parking fees at various shopping complex/building. I've seen that before, wait till I find it, very useful to check for cheap parking, esp Orchrd area.
