Top Petrol Stations in Johor Near the Border for Singapore Cars

For many Singaporean drivers, the first stop after clearing Malaysian customs is a petrol station. The significant cost savings on fuel make it a ritual. But before you can even think about refueling, you need to cross the border smoothly, and that requires a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP).

Once you clear the JB CIQ, you'll find several reputable petrol stations within a short drive. These are popular choices for their convenience and modern facilities.

• Shell & Petronas Stations: You will find many Shell and Petronas stations scattered around the city center. They are known for clean restrooms, well-stocked convenience stores, and reliable fuel. Most accept major credit cards.
• Caltex Stations: Another excellent option, Caltex stations often feature spacious layouts and are a favorite among drivers. They are a great place to refuel and take a quick break before heading further into Malaysia.

If you cross via the Second Link, the Gelang Patah area has several great options that are often less crowded than those near the Causeway.

• Petronas Gelang Patah: Often the first station you'll encounter, it's a large, popular stop for drivers to refuel and use the facilities.
• Caltex & Shell further down: As you drive towards the main highway, you will find other major brand stations. These are perfect for a quick top-up before a long drive to destinations like Kuala Lumpur or Malacca.

Access to these great petrol deals is impossible without a valid VEP. A rejected VEP application, an expired permit, or a faulty RFID tag means you’ll be turned away at the border, and your refueling plans will go up in smoke.
