Teeing Off in Johor? Why Golfers Trust MyMechanic for Cross-Border VEP Services

Golfers Are Driving North — And MyMechanic Is Helping Them Get There

With golf courses in Singapore shutting down and weekend bookings harder than ever to secure, golfers are looking north for wide fairways, sea breezes, and lower green fees. Johor, just a short drive away, is quickly becoming the new playground for Singapore's golf crowd.

The Golf Boom Across the Border

According to industry reports, a significant percentage of weekend golfers in Johor now come from Singapore. With clubs like Horizon Hills, Forest City, and The Els Club Desaru Coast offering world-class courses, the draw is obvious: more tee times, less stress, and significantly lower costs.

Why VEP Is Crucial for Golf Trips

To legally drive your Singapore-registered car into Malaysia, you need a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) issued by Malaysia's JPJ. Without it, you risk fines or denial of entry — not a great way to start your golf getaway.

Quick VEP Reminder for Golfers

If you're planning a drive into Johor for golf, here's what you'll need:

• A valid VEP (check registration or renew if expired)
• RFID tag correctly installed
• Valid insurance that covers Malaysia
• Sufficient Touch 'n Go balance for tolls
