A VEP Guide for Families Driving to Malaysia with Kids

Taking the Family to Malaysia

Malaysia is a great place for a family vacation, with everything from theme parks to beautiful nature. Driving is often the easiest way to get there, but you need to make sure your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is sorted out, especially when you're traveling with kids.

At MyMechanic, we know that traveling with family takes extra planning. We're here to give you the VEP tips you need to make sure your car is ready for a fun and memorable trip to Malaysia.

Every Family Car Needs a VEP

Your family car needs a valid VEP to enter Malaysia, just like any other car from Singapore. The VEP is linked to your car and shows that it meets the rules for foreign vehicles. The process is the same whether you have kids in the car or not, but it's extra important to have everything in order when you're traveling with family.

Getting turned away at the border with a car full of restless kids is no fun. We can help you get your VEP sorted out so you can avoid that kind of stress.

VEP and Travel Tips for Families

Check Your VEP and Insurance

Before you go, make sure your VEP is active and your car insurance covers you in Malaysia. An expired VEP or the wrong insurance can cause big problems.

Get Your Documents Ready

Make sure everyone in the family has a valid passport, and bring copies of your car's registration, insurance, and VEP approval. It's a good idea to keep everything in one place so it's easy to find.

Follow Car Seat Rules

This isn't a VEP rule, but it's important to know that Malaysia has car seat laws. Make sure your car seat meets their standards to keep your kids safe and avoid fines.

Plan Your Border Crossing

Waiting at the border with kids can be tough. Check the traffic before you go and try to travel at less busy times. A working VEP RFID tag will help you get through faster.
