Here are some useful tips for you before entering Malaysia:
- Ensure that your booking is a minimum of 12-hours
- Ensure that your booking contains the 30% Malaysia Entry surcharge (this will not be available if the booking is less than 12-hours)
- Remember to bring along your passport and Touch n Go card!
- Refuel to a minimum of 3/4 tank (https://www.customs.gov.sg/individuals/going-through-customs/departure/three-quarter-tank-rule)
Important Update for Malaysia Vehicle Entry Permit:
To streamline your border crossing experience, we've updated our entry process for Malaysia.
VEP Registered Vehicles:
• VEP Button: If your vehicle is already registered for VEP, you'll find a convenient “Download VEP“ button in your booking. Simply tap it to access your VEP information. This is only accessible via the Tribecar website and not the app at the moment.
VEP Unregistered Vehicles:
• VEP Button: If your vehicle is not yet registered for VEP, you will not be able to download your VEP information in your booking. Please have a printed or digital copy of your booking confirmation email ready.
• Declaration if necessary: if requested, inform the customs officer that you're driving a rented vehicle that is in the process of VEP registration.
We take good care of our vehicles with regular servicing & maintenance. However, vehicles are mechanical creatures and may break down at any time. Therefore, please perform these necessary mandatory checks by yourself before commencing on the trip.
1. Engine oil (Reimbursable if you need to top-up)
2. Water
3. Tyre
Not many rental services are available to allow drives in Malaysia, but we will continue to expand our fleet to allow more of our vehicles to do so. Please, please be safe and know we care for you all very much!
