Question 1

How does KiamPark rank nearby carparks?

Accepted Answer

KiamPark uses a composite scoring algorithm that weighs parking cost (60%) and walking distance to your destination (40%). Cheaper and closer carparks rank higher. The cost is calculated using each carpark’s actual tiered rate structure for your selected parking duration and vehicle type — not just a flat hourly rate.

Question 2

Are the parking rates on KiamPark accurate?

Accepted Answer

Rates are compiled from official carpark operator websites and verified on a recurring schedule. KiamPark parses each carpark’s full rate description — including block rates, per-unit charges, per-entry fees, and max caps — to calculate the exact cost for your parking duration. Rate descriptions are time-aware, so weekend, weekday, and after-hours rates are applied correctly based on the current Singapore time.

Question 3

Where does KiamPark get its parking data?

Accepted Answer

Parking rate data is sourced from official carpark operator websites and cross-referenced with listings on the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and data.gov.sg portals. Live carpark availability is powered by the data.gov.sg Carpark Availability API. Promotional offers are auto-pulled from malls’ official websites and social media channels.

Question 4

Does KiamPark show live parking availability?

Accepted Answer

Yes. KiamPark displays real-time lot availability for HDB and URA carparks using the data.gov.sg Carpark Availability API. Availability is shown directly on each carpark card and in the detail view. Private carparks may not have live availability data.

Question 5

Question 7

How often are parking promos updated?

Accepted Answer

Promotional offers are auto-pulled from malls’ official websites and social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter) on a regular basis. Each promo shows its validity dates and source link so you can verify directly.

Question 8
