The impact of any glitches that may arise on your vacation will be lessened if you make the proper preparations before leaving, so here are some advice before traveling to Johor Bahru.

• VEP (Vehicle Entry Permit) - Every Singaporean tourist traveling into Malaysia has the VEP on the forefront of their concerns. Before ever approaching the border, you need register for the VEP if you haven't already done so HERE.

Vehicles that cross the border without any documentation of VEP registration risk receiving fines of up to RM $300. The Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) will email you to ask you to visit one of their collecting centers so that your RFID tag may be installed after you have registered for the VEP.

Here is a detailed overview of the VEP procedure. The price of the VEP RFID tag is RM10.

• Touch 'n Go Card - Essentially Malaysia's version of our ERP Cashcard, this is a necessary method of payment for tolls and parking. The cards can only be bought at a kiosk right before the Malaysian Immigration Building if you enter Malaysia through the Tuas Immigration Checkpoint and don't already have one.

• Malaysian SIM Card - Celcom, Digi, and U-mobile are the three main telcos in Malaysia, and you can buy their SIM cards from a lot of kiosks in town centers. The locations of U mobile and DIGI outlets are listed here. Top-up discounts are available at several gas stations along the North-South Highway if you already have a Malaysian SIM card that isn't expired. As an alternative, many local carriers offer reasonably priced data roaming services. Here is a comprehensive overview of Singapore's data roaming options.

• Insurance - Having proper insurance coverage can help you have peace of mind while on vacation. In the case of an accident, NTUC Income's Drivo automobile insurance offers complete protection for the driver and passengers. Additionally, the coverage will put you in touch with road assistance and 24-hour emergency services as needed.

• Car maintenance - Before leaving, check your car's fluids, tires, tools, and other components thoroughly. If you haven't checked your car in a while, it would be best to take it to your mechanic and have them check it out.
