VEP and Road Charge Auto-Deduction Linking Explained

What is the Road Charge (RC)?

The RC is a daily entry fee that foreign-registered vehicles must pay when entering Malaysia via land checkpoints. For Singapore vehicles, it’s charged at every entry and is separate from tolls or ERP charges.

How VEP and RC Auto-Deduction Linking Works

• VEP Registration: Every foreign vehicle must have a valid VEP and RFID tag issued by the Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ).
• Payment Method Linking: Your VEP profile allows you to link a payment method—usually a debit/credit card—for RC auto-deduction.
• RFID Detection at the Border: When you drive into Malaysia, the RFID scanner detects your vehicle and automatically charges the RC to your linked payment method.
• No Manual Payment Needed: This eliminates the need for cash or separate transactions at the checkpoint.

Benefits of Linking VEP to RC Auto-Deduction

• Faster Border Crossings – No need to queue for payment.
• No Cash Required – Fully digital and automatic.
• Reduced Risk of Penalties – Payment is guaranteed and on time.
• Travel Convenience – Ideal for frequent cross-border drivers.
