I have received an SMS to go for inspection, what should I do?

By |2023-05-25T09:26:18+08:00December 8th, 2019|, |

An SMS from LCR/VICOM will be sent to you when your car is due for vehicle inspection. Typically, the SMS will inform you to send the vehicle to VICOM for inspection as soon as possible and to register at the Automated Payment Machine there.

To ensure a smooth process at VICOM, the general points below should be observed when going for the vehicle inspection. Failure to comply with the inspection will result in repossession of your vehicle and you will be liable for the necessary charges.

  1. You may visit any of the VICOM centres for your inspection. No payment has to be made for the inspection as it will be paid for by LCR.
  2. You can view the VICOM centres’ locations and operating hours on their website.
  3. When you arrive at the VICOM centre, please inform the staff on duty that your vehicle is from LCR to avoid being mistaken as a normal walk-in customer and being charged with inspection fees.
  4. You are encouraged to e-pay (if required) at the Automated Payment Machine in the VICOM centre. Please refer to the step-by-step guide enclosed here.
  5. In cases where you have been asked to make an upfront payment, please request for a receipt and email a scanned copy of the receipt to [email protected] for us to reimburse you. The reimbursement will be credited to your payment statement within 14 working days. If you have any doubts, please call our hotline at 6252 5525.

What should I do if I get into an accident (in Singapore or Malaysia)

Stay calm and check for injuries. If there are any serious injuries, call 999 (police) and 995 (ambulance) immediately. If possible, move the cars to a safe place away from road traffic. Turn on your car’s hazard lights and use cones or warning triangles for safety. Take down the particulars of the drivers and car plate numbers of all vehicles at the scene. Take clear photos of the accident scene, surroundings and damages to the vehicles.

Please call our 24/7 reporting hotline at +65 6252 5525 for assistance. Services provided will be as follows:-

On site Reporting 24/7 (either at scene of accident or at the Hirer’s location)
Accident scene photos ( if available )

Retrieval of in-car camera footages immediately to prevent overwritten issues
Activation of Towing (if needed)

If the accident happened in Malaysia, a police report has to be made in Malaysia. Once done, bring down that report and lodge another police report with SPF. Both reports are needed to be brought along for the accident reporting in LCR. If towing is required, please call the 24hrs towing number +65 6252 5525 and we will arrange the towing from Malaysia. Please refrain from engaging anyone else for towing as it may compromise the security of the car. Please note that an admin fee of $200 is payable for all accidents involving Malaysian/ foreign vehicle. Excess(es) will be doubled if the accident happened outside of Singapore.

For third party or own damage claims, please see details here.
