ERP Cost Guide: How Much Does ERP Cost in Singapore?
ERP rates vary from $0.50 to as high as $6, the same as the $6 we saw pre-COVID-19.
ERP rates also vary based on the time of day and the location you’re travelling in. Rates are higher during peak hours, from 7am to 9am and 5:30pm to 6:30pm, and lower during off-peak hours.
Yep.
There’s a reason why we’re constantly ranked among one of the most expensive cities in the world. We get a slight reprieve that ERP rates and charges are reviewed every quarter.
In addition, we usually see seasonal adjustments during the June and December holiday periods based on current road traffic conditions

Thankfully, fewer ERP gantries are operational than before COVID-19. This is possibly due to flexible work arrangements, where more people work from home instead of driving into the city. For more information, you can visit OneMotoring to check out the latest ERP rates and charges.
What is ERP Singapore? The ERP System Explained
The ERP system is basically the government’s way of managing road congestion.
You will incur charges when you pass through an ERP gantry during operational hours.
The ERP is to encourage drivers to:
- seek alternative routes to their destination
- travel outside ERP operation hours, or
- take public transport.
This is coupled with our high Certificate of Entitlement (COE) and crazy petrol prices.
It’s basically the government subtly hinting, “Eh… Don’t drive lah…”
ERP Gantry, ERP Location and ERP Map
You’ll mostly find ERP gantries throughout the Orchard Cordon and the rest of the Central Business District.
That might not sound like a vast area, but get this.
There are about 77 ERP gantries in operation at the time of writing.
For more visual people, here is the latest map of ERP in gantries in Singapore from SGCarMart:
Peak Hour Singapore: Are There ERP Charges Now?
The amount of ERP charge you pay depends on two things: your vehicle type and what time you pass the gantry.
Bigger vehicle types usually pay more.
For cars, the ERP rates generally vary from $0.50 to as high as $6.
As a rule of thumb, ERP charges are the highest from 8am to 9am because everyone is heading to work.
What Time Does ERP Start? Is ERP in Operation Now?
ERP operating hours are only from Mondays to Saturdays.
Is There ERP in the Evening? What Is the ERP Timing?
And start as early as 8am and continue until as late as 8pm.
The time periods are set in 30-minute or 1-hour intervals.
The only saving grace is that there are no ERP charges on Sundays and all public holidays.
Oh, you’ll also be pleased to note that the ERP also stops operating at 1 pm onwards on:
- Chinese New Year
- Christmas Day
- Deepavali
- Eve of New Year’s Day
- Hari Raya Puasa.
Otherwise, the rates are reviewed once every quarter and also during the June and December school holidays (read: kids don’t need to be sent to school, and families are usually on vacation):
- January (for February to April)
- April (for May)
- May (for June)
- August (for September to November)
- November (for December).
If you’re kiasu like me.
I usually check the LTA Newsroom for the latest ERP rate updates.
ERP 2.0 and the New On-Board Unit
Starting in November, efforts will be underway to exchange the currently employed in-vehicle units in nearly one million vehicles on the road with on-board units (OBUs) designed for the satellite-based Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system, also known as ERP 2.0.
Key details about ERP 2.0 and the new OBU, scheduled for installation in all vehicles by the close of 2025, include the following:
- Starting 1 November 2023, selected fleet vehicle owners will receive notifications to arrange the installation of their OBUs. Subsequently, other vehicle owners can anticipate notifications via letter, email, or SMS.
All new vehicles will come equipped with the OBU from the first quarter of 2024 - The installation will be free of charge if completed within the stipulated two-month period mentioned in the notification
- Installing the OBU in a car is estimated to take three hours while installing it on a motorcycle is expected to take half that time.
Despite the new system’s capability to impose charges based on the distance travelled, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has clarified that there are no immediate plans to implement distance-based charging.
The OBU seamlessly integrates with the existing ERP and parking gantries.
Most of the current ERP payment options will remain applicable to the OBU. Motorists utilizing stored-value options such as the standard EZ-link card, Nets Flashpay, and Nets Motoring Card will need to insert the card into the processing unit.
Backend payment options, such as EZ-Link Motoring Service and Nets Virtual CashCard, which involve charges directly billed to a credit or debit card, can also be utilised.
