Quick Tips
Prepare Your Documents
Have your passport ready. Malaysian cars need vehicle grant, insurance, and road tax. Singapore-registered vehicles require VEP (Vehicle Entry Permit) for Malaysia.
Use Automated Lanes
Enroll in automated clearance (Autogate for Singapore citizens/PRs, MACS for frequent travelers). Significantly faster than manual counters.
Avoid Peak Hours
Crossing times can triple during rush hour. Check live cameras before departing. Consider Tuas Second Link during extreme congestion.
Fuel Requirements
Fill your tank to at least 3/4 in Singapore before entering Malaysia (required by law). Refuel in JB where petrol is significantly cheaper.
