What is PQP?

Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP), is the 3-month moving average of successful COE bids, set by LTA. When your COE expires, you renew at the current PQP — not through open bidding — making it a fixed, predictable cost each month.

  • Fixed monthly rate set by LTA

  • 3-month moving average of bids

  • Used when renewing an expiring COE

  • Predictable — no bidding needed

  • 5-year = 50% of 10-year rate

For new cars
COE open bidding
  • Result of competitive open bidding

  • Changes every round (2× monthly)

  • Used when buying a new or used car

  • Volatile — can spike or drop quickly

  • Cannot be used for renewals
