ERP rates will be temporarily reduced at selected locations in Singapore this June 2025
You know what they say: In Singapore, we pay and pay – whether it's GST, COE for cars or property taxes, there are plenty of fees we've got to bear in this city. But here's some welcome news for those who drive: Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates will be temporarily reduced till the second-last day of the month, specially for the June school holidays.
These ERP discounts are ongoing at a total of five locations in Singapore until June 29, 2025. Regular rates will be back in place on June 30, Monday, when the new school term officially begins. It's just a $1 reduction across the board at the selected spots, but hey, a discount is a discount regardless. This also means that gantries that typically deduct $1 during other periods would thus let you cruise past at no cost for the next few weeks.
Concurrently, those who drive should also be aware of the new Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) requirement for Singaporean vehicles driving into Malaysia, which costs about $3. Not having a valid one would result in a fine when you're travelling to Johor Bahru.
Lowered ERP rates from June 2 to June 29, 2025, according to the Land Authority of Singapore:
AYE before Alexandria towards city
8am to 8.30am: Previously $1, currently $0
Southbound CTE after Braddell Road and PIE sliproad into southbound CTE (set of four gantries)
7.30am to 8.30am: Previously $2, currently $1
9am to 9.30am: Previously $4, currently $3
9.30am to 10am: Previously $3, currently $2
Southbound CTE before Braddell Road
7am to 7.30am: Previously $2, currently $1
PIE (Adam and Mount Pleasant, set of two gantries)
7.30am to 8am: Previously $2, currently $1
Westbound PIE towards Eunos Link
7.30am to 8.30am: Previously $1, currently $0
8.30am to 9am: Previously $2, currently $1
9am to 9.30am: Previously $1, currently $0
The ERP rates for non-listed gantries will remain the same as always. In the meantime, enjoy the lowered rates at these locations while they last.

A Singaporean driver's guide to Malaysia's VEP: How to apply, application fees and penalties for not having it
Those heading to Johor Bahru, take note – updates on the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) have finally been released. If you've yet to register for a VEP, now's the time. After being postponed multiple times since 2017, Malaysian authorities have confirmed that all Singapore-registered vehicles entering Malaysia must have a valid VEP from July 1, 2025. Strict enforcement actions will be applied to those who do not comply. Before you panic and cancel all your JB plans, we've broken down the key details so you can be prepared before hitting the road. Here's everything you need to know about the VEP: What is a VEP? The VEP is an official permit issued by Malaysia's Road Transport Department, allowing foreign-registered vehicles to enter the country. It comes with a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, which can also be used to pay toll fees and road charges. What is the use of a VEP? Although it may be an extra hassle to apply for and obtain, the VEP plays a crucial role in enhancing border security, enabling Malaysia to better manage and track foreign vehicles. The RFID tag also adds convenience for drivers, as it can be used to make toll payments and cover road charges seamlessly. Who needs to apply for a VEP? All foreign vehicles entering Malaysia are required to have a VEP. This includes private and commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and even government vehicles. How much does Malaysia VEP cost? A VEP registration costs RM10 (~S$3) for processing. How to apply for a VEP? Step 1: Visit the official VEP website to register your profile and vehicle. Once done, you'll receive an email to verify your account. Step 2: Log in with your new account and complete the vehicle details form. You'll need information like your vehicle's model, COE, and chassis number – so have those on hand. Step 3: Pay for the VEP-RFID tag, which costs RM10 (~S$3), excluding delivery fees. You can either collect your tag from one of four VEP centers (three in Johor Bahru and one in Woodlands) or opt for postage. Postal delivery takes around two weeks, but delays can happen, so apply early to avoid a last-minute scramble. While waiting, register and activate your Touch 'n' Go account if you haven't already. Once linked to your tag, it allows you to pay road charges and toll fees easily. Step 4: When your RFID tag arrives, verify it on the VEP portal. Log in, select your vehicle number, click 'acknowledge', and enter the tag's serial number. Step 5: Upload a photo of the RFID tag attached to your vehicle. Your car's registration number must also be visible in the image. Submit it via the VEP portal. You'll get an email once your tag is activated. While activation usually takes about seven working days, some users have reported delays of up to two months. Time Out Tip: As the announcement on enforcement is still fresh, a surge in VEP applications is expected. Delays in the processing and delivery of VEP-RFID tags are likely, so plan ahead and avoid leaving it to the last minute. Where can I attach the VEP-RFID tag? There are two places you can paste your tag: either on the left headlamp or at the top left corner of your windscreen. How long is a VEP valid for? A VEP is valid for five years, starting from the day it is activated. What should I do if my VEP-RFID tag is damaged or lost? If your RFID tag is missing or damaged, you will need to update your vehicle's status through the VEP online portal. A police report may be necessary to apply for a replacement tag. Is the VEP transferable between vehicles? The VEP is not transferable between vehicles, as the VEP and RFID tag are assigned individually to each vehicle. When you get a new vehicle, you need to register it and apply for a new VEP and RFID tag. Time Out tip: If you're only planning a one-off trip to Malaysia and don't expect to drive there frequently, renting a car might be a better option than using your vehicle to avoid the hassle of obtaining a VEP. Several rental companies provide cars that are already registered with the VEP, so the paperwork is taken care of for you. What are the penalties for entering Malaysia without a valid VEP? Drivers of vehicles not registered in Malaysia who are found without a valid VEP will be fined RM300 (~S$90). Payment is only accepted via cashless methods at Road Transport Department (JPJ) offices, JPJ mobile units, or through the MyEG online platform. Offenders must clear the fine and complete VEP registration before departing Malaysia.

Auto Trader reports growing car sales despite ‘financial pressure' on customers
Meanwhile, the company said it saw 'strong levels of demand for used cars', with 4% more sales this year than last, though supply remains below pre-pandemic levels. It said used car pricing has been 'stable' over the last 12 months after declines in the previous financial year. The group said it saw a 5% increase in the number of cars advertised through its platform, an average of 449,000 per month through the year. Auto Trader said the UK's new car market grew 3% over the last 12 months (Alamy/PA) And it said consumers made a record 81.6 million visits to Auto Trader's platforms this year. Auto Trader's revenues came in at £601.1 million in the year to March 31, up 5% compared with the previous 12 months, while profit rose 8% to £376.8 million. The growth in both markets comes despite another year of high interest rates and inflation in the UK, which the company said put 'financial pressure' on customers. The company said that through much of the year, consumer demand exceeded the supply of used cars, meaning sales tended to happen fast. Nathan Coe, chief executive of Auto Trader, said: 'Despite broader macroeconomic uncertainties, the UK car market is in good health and we continue to deliver against our strategy to improve car buying and retailing.' He added that the company launched a new artificial intelligence product range called Co-Driver, which is helping to speed up searches on Auto Trader's platform. Mr Coe said: 'The first wave of Co-Driver products has already successfully enhanced the quality of adverts, while reducing the amount of time it takes for retailers to advertise their vehicles. 'We see significant potential for the use of AI to improve the buying and selling of cars in the years ahead.' 'We remain confident in the outlook for the business given our strong market position, the value we deliver for customers, and our unique data and technology capabilities.'
