Driving from Singapore to KL with VEP: A Complete Road Trip Planner

Before you even think about booking hotels in Kuala Lumpur, your first checkpoint is digital. A long-distance road trip is not the time to discover a problem with your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP). A border issue can throw your entire schedule into chaos.

A 350km+ drive requires a healthy car. Before you go, perform these crucial checks:

• Tyres: Ensure all tyres, including the spare, are properly inflated to the recommended pressure.
• Fluids: Check your engine oil, coolant, and windscreen washer fluid levels.
• Fuel: Start with a full tank of petrol. While there are many stations along the way, it’s best to begin fully fueled.

The journey is part of the adventure. Here’s how to plan it:

• The Route: Your main path will be the North-South Expressway (NSE), Malaysia's main highway. It’s a well-maintained and straightforward route.
• Tolls: The entire NSE is a tolled highway. Ensure your Touch 'n Go eWallet, linked to your VEP RFID, is well-funded for the journey.
• Pit Stops (R&R): The NSE is dotted with excellent R&R (Rest & Relax) areas. Popular stops like Machap, Ayer Keroh, and Seremban offer food courts with local delicacies, clean restrooms, and petrol stations. Plan to take a break every 2 hours to stay fresh.
