How to Plan a Perfect Johor Bahru Day Trip with a Valid VEP

A day trip to Johor Bahru offers a fantastic escape with its delicious food, great shopping, and vibrant culture. But a successful trip starts before you even leave your driveway. The most crucial step? Ensuring your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is valid and ready to go. With MyMechanic handling your VEP, you can focus on the fun part: planning your itinerary.

Before you even think about which cafe to visit, check your VEP status.

• Is Your VEP Active? Ensure your application has been approved and your RFID tag is installed and activated.
• Are Your Documents Up to Date? Your VEP is linked to your road tax and insurance. If either has expired, your VEP will be invalid. Let MyMechanic help you keep everything synced.

As we've covered, timing is everything. For a day trip, aim to cross into JB before 8 AM to beat the crowds. For your return journey, plan to leave JB either before 5 PM or after 9 PM to avoid the evening rush hour.

• Passports & VEP Documents: Keep them easily accessible.
• Touch 'n Go Card: Ensure it's topped up for tolls and parking.
• Malaysian Ringgit: While many places accept cards, cash is handy for smaller stalls and parking.
• A Portable Power Bank: To keep your phone charged for navigation and communication.
