VEP Travel Essentials: What Every Singapore Driver Keeps in Their Car

You've sorted your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) with MyMechanic, and your RFID tag is ready. You're all set for a seamless border crossing. But what about the journey itself? Experienced Singaporean drivers know that a well-prepared car is a happy car. Here’s a checklist of travel essentials to keep in your vehicle for any Malaysian road trip.

• Passports and VEP Confirmation: Keep them in an easily accessible place.
• Driving License and Vehicle Log Card (Geran): Physical copies are essential.
• Car Insurance Certificate: Ensure it provides coverage in Malaysia.

• Phone Mount and Charging Cable: For hands-free navigation.
• Portable Power Bank: A lifesaver if your car battery dies or you're away from your vehicle.
• Touch 'n Go Card: Even with RFID, having a physical card as a backup is a smart move.
