VEP Enforcement Challenges for Rental & Shared Mobility Fleets in 2025

As Malaysia strengthens its Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) enforcement in 2025, rental car companies and shared mobility providers face unique compliance hurdles. These fleets often have multiple vehicles with different drivers, making it harder to keep VEP records accurate and updated.

At MyMechanic, we work with rental operators, car-sharing platforms, and fleet managers to ensure their vehicles meet all VEP requirements — helping avoid fines, border delays, and unhappy customers.

Why Rental & Shared Fleets Struggle with VEP Compliance

1. Frequent Driver Changes: Unlike private vehicles, rental cars and shared mobility units often have new drivers daily. This creates challenges in tracking violations or fines linked to a specific VEP.
2. High Vehicle Turnover: Rental companies regularly sell old units and add new ones. Without immediate updates, outdated VEP records can lead to enforcement issues.
3. Unpaid Fines & Penalties: If a renter commits a traffic offence in Malaysia and doesn’t pay, the vehicle’s VEP record can be flagged — affecting future border crossings.
4. RFID Tag Damage or Loss: Frequent use by different drivers increases the risk of RFID tags being damaged, removed, or misplaced.

VEP Enforcement Measures in 2025

• Cross-checking VEP data with traffic offence databases
• Blocking vehicles with unpaid fines from entering Malaysia
• Requiring accurate ownership and fleet details for all VEP records

For rental and shared fleets, this means zero tolerance for outdated or incorrect information.
