With the increasing number of passengers commuting between Singapore and Malaysia, many Grab and Uber drivers are considering cross-border trips. However, before crossing the Causeway with passengers, Singaporean drivers must understand Malaysia’s Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) regulations. Here's a complete guide, especially if you're a ride-hailing driver navigating this border zone.
Malaysia’s Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is mandatory for all foreign-registered vehicles entering the country, including those used for commercial or ride-hailing purposes. Without a valid VEP and the associated RFID tag, you risk fines or being denied entry altogether.
If you're a Singaporean Grab or Uber driver planning to pick up or drop off in Malaysia, you must register for VEP and install the RFID tag before your trip.
Technically, ride-hailing pickups and drop-offs across borders can be complex due to regulatory restrictions on foreign commercial operations. However:
Pro Tip: Always declare your car usage type honestly during registration. Incorrect declarations can delay RFID approvals.
Cross-border Grab or Uber driving offers good earnings, but only if you’re fully compliant with VEP rules. Don't risk fines or delays at the checkpoint. Let MyMechanic handle your VEP hassle-free so you can focus on what matters most — driving and earning.
