Renting a car for less than a week and planning to drive to Malaysia? Learn how short-term lease vehicles can get VEP approval. MyMechanic makes the process simple.
Planning a weekend trip to Malaysia with a rental car? Whether it’s a family getaway or a spontaneous road trip, you’ll still need a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) to legally drive into Malaysia—even if you’re only renting the car for a few days.
The good news? It’s possible, and MyMechanic is here to help make it easy.
