An Expert Guide by MyMechanic for Singapore Drivers
Owning an Off-Peak Car (OPC) or Weekend Car (WEC) in Singapore is a smart financial decision. But does it mean you're restricted to driving only within the nation's borders? Absolutely not! You can enjoy drives to Johor Bahru and beyond in your OPC or WEC. The key is understanding how Malaysia's Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system works alongside Singapore's LTA rules. As leading VEP specialists, MyMechanic is here to provide a clear, human-written guide to ensure you travel with confidence.
From the perspective of the Malaysian JPJ, your car's scheme in Singapore is irrelevant. They do not differentiate between a standard car and an OPC/WEC. The VEP application process, the required documents (log card, insurance), and the final VEP-RFID tag are exactly the same for all Singapore-registered private vehicles. There is no special application or different queue.
The crucial part you must manage is adhering to your car's usage restrictions as mandated by the LTA. If your travel plans require you to drive your OPC during restricted hours (e.g., on a weekday morning), you are legally required to purchase an e-Day Licence from the LTA *before* you begin your journey. This is a Singaporean rule and is completely separate from your VEP status in Malaysia.
The VEP application for your special scheme car is straightforward. Here’s what you need to do:
