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

A smooth trip to Malaysia is about more than just a full tank of petrol. Being prepared with these essentials will make your journey safer and more enjoyable.

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.
  • Jumper Cables or a Portable Jump Starter: Battery issues are the #1 cause of breakdowns.
  • Tire Inflator and Pressure Gauge: To handle slow leaks and ensure your tires are safe.
  • Basic First-Aid Kit: For minor cuts and scrapes.
  • Flashlight: Essential for night-time issues.
