The latest annual survey on parking fees in central business districts worldwide has revealed Jakarta is the second-cheapest city to park a car.
According to the 2009 Global CBD Parking Rate Survey, conducted by property consultant Collier International and released on its official website last week, Jakarta’s average monthly parking fee is US$27.20, higher only than Mumbai’s $25.68.
The survey tracked monthly unreserved parking rates in 140 downtown parking districts across the Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
Other cities with low monthly parking fees are Bangalore and Delhi, at $32.10, Bakersfield at $40, and Manila at $42.
London City topped the global list with the most expensive parking fees, at $1,020.29 per month, followed by London West End at $955.51, Amsterdam at $805.36 per month, Hong Kong at $748.2 and Sydney at $587.72.
The figures are calculated at June 1, 2009, exchange rates.
The survey also tracked relative parking costs on a daily basis. It calculated that drivers in Jakarta pay an average of $1.52 to park their cars in the CBD for a full workday, the fourth-lowest after Bangalore’s $1.50, Mumbai’s $1.07 and Chennai’s 96 US cents.
