Thinking of Storing Your Singapore Car in Malaysia? Here’s What You Need to Know.

A straightforward guide to keeping your car legal while it's parked across the Causeway for the long haul.

It's more common than you think! Many Singaporeans park their cars in Malaysia for extended periods. You might be working there, traveling frequently, or simply want to dodge Singapore's steep parking fees. It’s a convenient option, but it’s easy to get tangled in VEP rules if you're not paying attention.

Your VEP might be valid for up to five years, but don't be mistaken—that doesn't give you a five-year pass to leave your car in Malaysia untouched. To keep the VEP active, you have to drive the car out of the country every so often. If you skip this crucial step, you could be looking at hefty fines, getting blacklisted, and a whole lot of bureaucratic headaches.

To maintain an active VEP, you have to drive your car out of Malaysia before its validity period expires and then re-enter. It's like renewing a visitor's pass—you have to check out and check back in.

Let's be honest, keeping up with VEP renewals and regulations for a car in storage is a drag. Luckily, it's what we do best. Here’s how we can make your life easier:

  • VEP Tracking: We keep an eye on your VEP's expiry date and give you a heads-up before it's due.
  • Hands-Free Renewals: We take care of all the paperwork and submissions for you.
  • Pro Tips: We provide current advice to help you steer clear of common pitfalls.
  • Synced-Up Documents: We ensure your insurance, road tax, and VEP are all aligned and up-to-date.

Falling out of compliance is a costly mistake. The fines, the risk of being blacklisted, and the sheer amount of wasted time can all be avoided by simply keeping your VEP and other documents in order.
