About Singapore COE Bidding
Singapore’s Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system manages vehicle population through a Uniform Price Sealed-Bid Auction held twice monthly.
How it works:
- LTA sets the quota for each of the five categories
- Buyers submit sealed bids over a 10-day exercise window
- Bids are ranked highest to lowest; all successful bidders pay the lowest winning bid (the Quota Premium, QP)
- A COE is valid for 10 years and can be renewed for another 5 or 10 years
The five COE categories:
- Cat A — Cars with engine ≤ 1,600cc and ≤ 130bhp
- Cat B — Cars with engine > 1,600cc or > 130bhp
- Cat C — Goods vehicles and buses
- Cat D — Motorcycles
- Cat E — Open category (any vehicle, no restrictions)
