Understanding VEP requirements for cars that aren't fully owned.
Many Singaporean drivers own their cars through hire-purchase agreements or leasing arrangements. While you might not be the outright owner until the loan is fully paid, you are typically the registered owner of the vehicle. This distinction is important when it comes to your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for Malaysia.
The VEP application process for cars on hire-purchase or lease is generally the same as for fully-owned vehicles. This is because the VEP is tied to the registered owner of the vehicle, which, in most hire-purchase and leasing agreements in Singapore, is still the individual driving the car.
This is paramount. Ensure your comprehensive car insurance policy explicitly covers driving in West Malaysia. This is a non-negotiable requirement for VEP, and even more critical for a financed vehicle, as any incident in Malaysia could have significant financial implications.
Whether your car is fully owned, on hire-purchase, or leased, MyMechanic provides comprehensive VEP services to ensure you're compliant and ready for Malaysia.
