Gem Car Rental Supports Customers with VEP Arrangements
Travel between Malaysia and Singapore is common for business, leisure, and cross-border commuting. In light of recent changes announced for the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fees — effective January 1, 2027 — it’s vital for drivers and car rental customers to stay informed and prepared.
From 2027, Singapore will revise its VEP costs, increasing the daily fee for foreign-registered cars to S$50 (approximately US$39) and for motorcycles to S$7. This change reflects Singapore’s efforts to manage vehicle traffic and environmental impact while maintaining efficient border operations.
At Gem Car Rental, we understand how regulatory changes affect travel planning. That’s why we provide VEP arrangements for customers, helping ensure a smooth and compliant journey between Malaysia and Singapore.
What Is the VEP and Why Is It Important?
The Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is a mandatory permit issued by Singapore’s Land Transport Authority for foreign-registered vehicles entering Singapore. It authorises short-term stays for vehicles and ensures compliance with local regulations.
For travellers using vehicles from Malaysia, especially from Johor Bahru or other parts of the peninsula, securing a VEP is an essential step before crossing the border. The updated fees — S$50 per day for cars and S$7 per day for motorcycles — will take effect on January 1, 2027, and are set to apply to each day of entry, including partial days.
Why the VEP Fee Change Matters to You
Understanding the revised fee structure helps you plan your travel budget more accurately. Whether you’re heading into Singapore for:
-
business meetings,
-
airport transfers,
-
leisure trips,
-
or cross-border commuting,
the updated VEP rates will influence overall travel costs for vehicles registered outside Singapore.
For travellers renting a vehicle for cross-border use, the difference in fee will be meaningful — especially for multi-day trips.
