Alternatively, most car dealerships will be able to bid on your behalf when you purchase a car, but bid prices are not guaranteed.\nSteps to bid for COE:\nEnsure sufficient funds in your bank account, including bank administration fees:\nCat A, B, C, and E: More than $10,000\nCat D: More than $1,500\nEnsure the right bidder ID:\nIndividuals: Full NRIC or FIN\nCorporate accounts: Full ACRA number or full registered Unique Entity Number (UEN)\nSuccessful bids will be registered under the bidding ID given.\nSelect vehicle category, then key in your maximum reserve price: The minimum bid is $1, and you can revise your bid upwards, or withdraw your bid.\nPay bid deposit (listed below) and non-refundable administration fee - this varies across banks and ranges between $2-$10:\nCat A, B, C, and E: $10,000\nCat D: $1,500\nUnsuccessful bids will receive back their deposit, but not the administrative fee.\nReceive a six-digit Acknowledgement Code for successfully submitted bids. The code will be used for bid revisions.\nHow to check COE bid results?\nOnce bidding ends, bidding statuses are posted on the\nOne Motoring COE Open Bidding page\n. To check if you're successful, visit\nOne Motoring Digital Services\nand login using your SingPass.\nWinning COE bids are determined by vehicle quota set by LTA and the maximum reserved price set by bidders. But, the Quota Premium (QP), that is, the COE to be paid by all successful bidders within the category, will be the sum of the highest unsuccessful bid plus $1. QP is the price for a new COE.\nFor example, three bidders place bids for a vehicle quota of two. Bidder A and B bid $50,000 and $45,000 respectively. Bidder C bids $35,000. Bidders A and B will be successful, but their QP will be set at $35,001.\nYou might also hear the term PQP thrown around. That's a Prevailing Quota Premium and is the cost to renew the COE of an existing vehicle. The PQP is calculated as the moving average of the past three months' QP.\nraewyn.koh@asiaone.com\nNo part of this article can be reproduced without permission from AsiaOne.\nShare this article\nThis website is best viewed using the latest versions of web browsers.","attrs_markdown":"[![AsiaOne](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/_next\/static\/image\/assets\/images\/AsiaOne_Logo.69dad11564e6d1e113ac048b843eeaa2.svg)](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/)\n\n- ···\n- [Budget 2026](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/events\/singapore-budget-2026)\n- ···\n- [Latest](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/lite)\n- ···\n- News\n- ···\n- [Entertainment](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/showbiz)\n- ···\n- [Lifestyle](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/lifestyle)\n- ···\n- [Horoscope](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/horoscope\/daily-horoscope)\n- ···\n- [Digicult](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/digital)\n- ···\n- [EarthOne](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/earth-one)\n- ···\n- More\n- ···\n\n[lifestyle](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/lifestyle)\n\n# COE prices 2026: All categories increase again; Cat A up by 3.28% in second March bidding exercise\n![COE prices 2026: All categories increase again; Cat A up by 3.28% in second March bidding exercise](https:\/\/media.asiaone.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/article_top_image\/public\/original_images\/Jan2026\/coe%20prices%202026.jpg?itok=oVXCPyx_)\n\nAll categories are on the rise yet again.\n\nPHOTO: Ben Chia\n\n[![Raewyn Koh](https:\/\/media.asiaone.com\/sites\/default\/files\/byline_images\/byline\/raewyn-koh.jpg)](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/byline\/raewyn-koh)PUBLISHED ON**March 18, 2026 8:23 AM**BY[**Raewyn Koh**](https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/byline\/raewyn-koh)\n\nIt's going to get a lot more expensive owning a car in Singapore, and not just because of increasing oil prices.

Once bidding ends, bidding statuses are posted on the [One Motoring COE Open Bidding page](https://onemotoring.lta.gov.sg/content/onemotoring/home/buying/coe-open-bidding.html). To check if you're successful, visit [One Motoring Digital Services](https://onemotoring.lta.gov.sg/content/onemotoring/home/digitalservices.html?t=login&param=F0301007TT) and login using your SingPass. Winning COE bids are determined by vehicle quota set by LTA and the maximum reserved price set by bidders. But, the Quota Premium (QP), that is, the COE to be paid by all successful bidders within the category, will be the sum of the highest unsuccessful bid plus \$1. QP is the price for a new COE. For example, three bidders place bids for a vehicle quota of two. Bidder A and B bid \$50,000 and \$45,000 respectively. Bidder C bids \$35,000. Bidders A and B will be successful, but their QP will be set at \$35,001. You might also hear the term PQP thrown around. That's a Prevailing Quota Premium and is the cost to renew the COE of an existing vehicle. The PQP is calculated as the moving average of the past three months' QP. raewyn.koh@asiaone.com No part of this article can be reproduced without permission from AsiaOne.

All Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums have risen for the second time this month during the second COE bidding exercise of March 2026. Category A premiums, which has been on the rise for the last four bidding exercises, rose by 3.28 per cent to close at \$111,890. Category B, for larger cars, saw a slight increase of 1.36 per cent to close at \$115,568. Category C saw its biggest increase this year, a rise of 2.63 per cent, to close at \$78,000. Category E, which is reserved for all vehicles except motorcycles, closed at \$118,119 this round. If you thought it might be more financially prudent to ride a motorcycle instead, this COE bidding exercises, unfortunately, proves that wrong. Category D saw the biggest jump this round — an increase of 11.47 per cent — to close at \$9,589.
