Beware - Expensive parking at Yew Tee Point after 12am

[wranger]

I wanted to go to meet my friends at the HongKong Cafe in Yew Tee Point as they open till 3am. As I approach the carpark barrier, I was told by the security guard and to my surprise that Yew Tee Point charge an additional surcharge of $21.40 for parking after 12am. That is very ridicule. If the security guard did not stop my vehicle and advise me of the special charges, I would probably faint on the spot when I saw the amount being deducted from my cashcard.

I mean as a business sense of mind, if the complex have shop or cafe that continue to operate after midnight, shouldn't they revised the carpark charges.

Isn't that considered overnight parking? I think lots of carparks have overnight charges...

You can buy a $2 night coupon and park overnight from 10.30 pm to 7 am. But $21.40???

There's always a grace period...

And you didn't buy that? So what's to stop people (or you) from buying the $2 coupon instead?

Yew Tee Point parking doesn't have a grace period, because the loading zone for deliveries is before the carpark gantry. If you compare that to Lot 1 at CCK, you'll know what i mean.

$2 coupon = HDB Multi Storey Carpark (approx 200m away from Yew Tee Point)
$21.40 = Private carpark at basement of Yew Tee Point

Thats really ridiculous for the charge!!!!

$21.40 is what I pay for my parking, in the city, for one hour.

in AUD, more like.

I learnt to stop whinging about how expensive parking in Singapore is when I got to Melbourne and realise that they ask for all the money I have, plus any potential earnings I will make, just to park for one hour at a Wilson's Car Park.

shocking.

TS can write to newspaper forum to see what the management have to say....that was obscene way of making quick profit :dunno:

Because the amount is deducted from your cashcard when you exited from the carpark, not the coupon type.

probably could park your car at yewtee foodcourt carpark instead.. afterall, yewtee pt is a condo residence..maybe tat explains the expensive parking fee for overnight?
