WAHDAH VEP-Ready Car Rental to Enter Malaysia from Singapore

Planning a road trip to Johor Bahru for some delicious food and shopping? Or maybe a longer drive up to Malacca or Kuala Lumpur? If you're taking a car from Singapore, there's one essential item you need besides your passport: the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP).

Since enforcement began, thousands of drivers have been fined for missing this crucial document. But don't let paperwork ruin your plans! Renting with WAHDAH is the simplest and fastest way to ensure a smooth, compliant journey across the border with our VEP-ready car rental.

So, Do Singapore Cars Need a VEP to Enter Malaysia?

Yes, absolutely. As of October 2024, it is mandatory for all Singapore-registered vehicles to have a valid VEP with an RFID tag to enter Malaysia. This isn't just a suggestion—it's a strictly enforced rule.

The Malaysian authorities are issuing on-the-spot fines of RM 300 to drivers without a VEP tag. The key takeaway is that the VEP requirement is tied to the vehicle, not the driver. This is where the biggest hassle lies if you're using your own car, but the biggest advantage if you rent from us.
