Here are some useful tips for you before entering Malaysia:
- Ensure that your booking is a minimum of 6 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 regularly service and maintain our vehicles to ensure they're in good condition. However, as with any mechanical vehicle, breakdowns can occur. To ensure your safety, please perform the following mandatory pre-trip checks:
1. Engine oil (Reimbursable if you need to top-up)
2. Water
3. Tyre
We're committed to expanding our services, and we're proud to be one of the few rental services allowing drives in Malaysia. We'll continue to grow our fleet to accommodate more vehicles.
We care about your safety and the well-being of our vehicles. Drive safely!
