Car ownership in Singapore involves a huge financial expense, probably the highest in the world. Therefore a frequently asked question is how much dough do drivers in Singapore have to sacrifice in order to own a car.

Here are some factors to consideration before getting yourself into the financial commitment of car ownership:

  1. Loan Installment
  2. Motor Insurance
  3. Road Tax
  4. Fuel
  5. Parking
  6. Servicing / Maintenance
  7. Electronic Road Pricing
  8. Cleaning & Car Grooming
  9. Inspections
  10. Others (eg, Radio License, occasional fines, etc)

And all these add up to around $1,000++ per month, depending mainly on your loan installment.
