FIRMS SHARING FRIENDS HAVE FACE COMPLICATIONS FOR GETTING VEPS
Car-sharing companies, whose cars are owned by visitors rather than the business, make the process more difficult and frustrating, which adds to the confusion and frustration.  ,
Dirk-Jan o Horst, co-founder of Drive Lah, claimed that his company has received host VEP software.  ,
” We ca n’t do much here as it is pending with Malaysia ( authorities )”, he said.  ,
In the meantime, Travel Lah vehicles without VEP keywords may be taken across the borders. The Driver Lah group stated that it is working with hosts to update the car’s position once they have collected the tags.  ,
He claimed that while 40 % of his clients rent vehicles to travel to Malaysia, they can also reserve Drive Lah vehicles that already have the VEP keywords.  ,
To ensure their travel to Malaysia, we advise people to check for accessible vehicles and make reservations as soon as possible.  ,
Tribecar, a car-sharing company, also has problems with securing VEP keywords.  ,
About 50 per cent of its ships does not have the VEP and is doubtful to satisfy the Oct 1 date, said a spokeswoman.  ,
” Some of our distributors have had issues with cars that were recently registered with various owners or those that were originally registered. These problems have slowed down the subscription approach” . ,
The director said about 10 per share of Tribecar’s users rent cars to drive to Malaysia.  ,
Given the disclosures that non-VEP vehicles will only be given a warning, he added that the company will also permit customers to push its cars across the border.  ,
