“As of 22 August 2025, there are 1,405 RVs registered in Malaysia, mostly small and medium-sized caravans or campervans“We’ve seen a surge in RV rental ads on social media, showing there’s strong and growing interest in this kind of travel," Loke shared.&nbsp;Currently, RVs can only be registered for private use, which limits opportunities for rental services. Under the new policy, only newly registered RVs whether CKD or CBU will be allowed for commercial use.Existing private RVs can also be converted, provided they’re less than 15 years old and pass technical checks by JPJ.

Loke added that MOT is working with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) to create a simpler, “single window” licensing process for operators in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan.“This is about making RV travel safer, better regulated, and more accessible while protecting users through proper licensing and enforcement,” he concluded.

Starting January 2026, RVs can be licensed for commercial use, making self-drive RV holidays safer and regulated.
