Avoid committing an offence by making sure that you drive in Singapore with valid vehicle insurance that covers third-party liability for death and bodily injury. Driving a vehicle without valid insurance in Singapore is an offence and an offender may be fined up to $1,000, or imprisoned up to 3 months, or both.
When entering Singapore
When driving your vehicle into Singapore via Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoint, insert your Autopass Card into the card reader at the immigration booth to validate your entry. Your entry and exit fees and charges will be deducted from your Autopass Card when you exit Singapore.
Extension of stay in Singapore
VEPs have validity period of 14 days. To extend your vehicle’s stay in Singapore, you will need to renew your VEP. The 14-day VEP validity period will start on the date of the vehicle’s entry into Singapore, and thereafter on the date of payment during VEP renewal. Please renew your VEP up to 2 days before its next expiry to avoid late fees.
You can pay VEP fees and extend VEP via the AXS by Singapore-issued ATM card or Singapore-issued credit card. If you recently extended your VEP and paid your VEP fees, you can only carry out the next VEP extension and payment via AXS 2 days before its next expiry. For example, if you extended your VEP and paid your VEP fees on 1 March 2022, you can only pay again via AXS from 13 and 14 March 2022. The new VEP period will start on the day you make your payment and VEP extension. Suppose you extend your VEP on 13 March 2022, your next VEP period will be 13 to 26 March 2022.
If your road tax and insurance period are expiring in less than 14 days at the point of VEP renewal, you will not be able to renew your VEP.

When driving in Singapore
Electronic Road Pricing (ERP)
When driving in Singapore, you may encounter ERP gantries that are used to control road congestion. You will incur an ERP charge when you drive through the gantries during operational hours.
ERP payment for Malaysia-registered cars
Malaysia-registered cars can pay a fixed rate of $5 daily to use ERP-priced roads during ERP operating hours, regardless of the number of times the vehicle passes through ERP gantries within the same day.
The fixed ERP fee will be deducted through your Autopass Card when you exit Singapore.
You can also choose to rent a temporary In-vehicle Unit (IU) at Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoint to pay your ERP charges, or permanently install an IU in your car by visiting any authorised IU Service Centre. The IU rental costs $5.15 a day for a minimum rental duration of 2 days, for up to 2 weeks. You will also need to pay a refundable deposit of $124.65. To use the IU, you will need to insert a stored-value card:

When exiting Singapore
You can drive out of Singapore via Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoint. Before you leave, ensure that you have sufficient value in your Autopass Card to pay all the fees and charges incurred during your stay in Singapore.
Avoid fines of up to $1,000 by paying all fees and charges before leaving Singapore and by using the Autopass Card for your vehicle. Do not insert a NETS CashCard or local CEPAS card into the card reader at the immigration booth.
Remember to top up your Autopass Card in other parts of Singapore in advance, as there are no top-up machines at the checkpoints.
Your Autopass Card can be topped up to a maximum of $500. If you need to make payment of more than $500, you will need to make payment at LTA’s VEP/Toll Offices at Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoints via cash (in Singapore dollars), credit card, or debit card. You can do this as you are driving out of Singapore. Bring your Autopass Card so that we can update the trip records.
At the immigration booth, insert your Autopass Card into the card reader to pay the fees for your vehicle.
