35 Shopping Malls With Free Parking Until Further Notice (Mar 2020)

free parking singapore covid19

Note: This article was written before Singapore’s circuit breaker measures were implemented. Although these malls remain open (for the essential store like supermarkets and pharmacies), most of these promotions have ended.

As it were, retail was already taking a huge hit from the booming e-commerce industry. 2019 saw many brands waving white flags, applying for bankruptcy protection, with some eventually folding for good.

Although those headlines have now been replaced with news about the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, the global pandemic has done the retail sector no favours. In fact, with stay-home notices and work-from-home arrangements, shopping malls are suffering even more.

To encourage shoppers to continue visiting malls, many shopping malls have announced free parking promotions, valid until further notice (probably once the COVID-19 situation eases).

Shopping Malls With Free Parking Until Further Notice (updated 31 Mar 2020)

Here is a list of shopping malls from Capitaland, AsiaMalls, Far East Malls, etc that offer free parking for now. I’ve also organised those in the Orchard and Central Business District (CBD) into a nifty list, since those areas are usually the most expensive.
