- $17K lesser (COE rebate)
- $800 lesser for road tax
That shld be it....
Insurance no difference from normal plate car drivers. -
Ya true, insurance the same, but R.tax very cheap. My 1.1cc Picanto is only $50/yr.

OPC will be perfect 4 you if you foresee that u'll seldom drive during the restricted hours, ie:
7am - 7pm weekdays
before 3pm on sat
if need 2 use during these hours once in a while, can buy 1x use $20 daily coupon from Sing Post.
All the best! -
Juz hpn I wuz discussing wif a fren yesterday abt OPC ... heard dat u get additional $2200 on ur parf for each year u hold on to ur OPC ... on top of that a reduction of $800 on road tax annually, so quite abit of savings. Only thing is dat can only drive before 7am & after 7pm (i think) but can still pay $20 2 drive outside off peak .... so not dat bad ... me thinking of converting my car 2 OP ...Originally posted by mt2000:Hi all,

Based on 1.6l car, normal plate road tax is 950, OPC (-800) = 150 pa. Many pplz say OPC are for those with absurd working hours or need not /dont want to use car during peak period (e.g got transport, dont wanna spend on ERP etc.)Originally posted by j19021974:Ya true, insurance the same, but R.tax very cheap.
