It's good to note a few things about parking at Mersing.
1. Rawa Car Park
Strictly speaking, the Rawa Car Park isn't really intended for the public, since it's property of one of the holiday islands located just off Mersing, called Pulau Rawa, and, as such, all resort guests of this island get priority when it comes to using this car park.
However, since the car park's capacity typically exceeds what the resorts in Rawa require, anyone can request to have their vehicle parked at the Rawa Car Park, regardless of which island or resort they're staying. Rawa Car Park is manned by security staff and is fenced off.
The fee for parking at the Rawa Car Park is
18 Ringgit per day.
2. MD Car Park
Officially, this car park doesn't take advanced reservations, but you can contact the attendants in advance to try and put in a reservation request. The MD car park is a decent car park, though it can get rather sunny from the lack of vegetation. Car covers are available as an option for those who prefer their vehicle to be sheltered from the elements.
The charges for parking at the MD Car Park are
15 Ringgit per day.
Pease take note of the MD Car Park opening hours, because on days the tides are not so suitable for the ferry from Tioman, the vessel might arrive in Mersing very early in the morning or after 7.00 pm, i.e. outside regular MD Car Park operating hours. In these cases, it's best to make prior arrangements with the MD Car Park attendants.
Car Cover
Given the frequent squalls in the area, you can opt to shelter your car from the somewhat harsh elements with a sturdy car cover. Apart from the rain, a reflective and breathable car cover also provides a physical barrier against the sun and the mid-day heat
and prevents condensation build-up. Rental cost of a car cover is RM10 per day; subject to availability. Want your car protected? Just note this in the car park reservation form.
