How to Check Your VEP RFID Tag Balance Before Driving to Malaysia

A quick check today can save you a major headache at the border tomorrow.

You've packed your bags, filled the tank, and you're ready for that weekend trip to Johor Bahru. You approach the Malaysian customs, the gantry scans your VEP RFID tag, and... ACCESS DENIED. The reason? Insufficient balance.

First, a quick clarification: your VEP RFID tag itself doesn’t store money. It’s simply a unique identifier for your car. The tag is linked to a Touch 'n Go eWallet, which is the digital account used to pay for tolls and the Malaysian Road Charge (RC).

The easiest and most reliable way to check your balance is through the Touch 'n Go eWallet app on your smartphone.

Some drivers think they can just top up at the toll plaza if their balance is low. This is a risky strategy. The RFID lanes are designed for seamless, automated passage. There are no top-up facilities directly at the gantry.
