To improve traffic flow and enhance the efficiency of kerbside pick-up and drop-off at the airport, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has fully implemented the Vehicle Access Management System (VAMS). This new system enforces a time limit and an overstay penalty mechanism at the kerbside lanes of the Departure and Arrival Levels of KLIA Terminal 1 (T1).
Restriction Details:
Free Grace Period: Each vehicle is entitled to a 10-minute free grace period for the purpose of picking up/dropping off passengers or loading/unloading luggage.
Timing Commencement: The clock starts immediately upon the vehicle entering the kerbside lane.
Exceeding 10 Minutes: Any vehicle exceeding the 10-minute limit will be considered in violation and subject to corresponding penalties (overstay charges) based on the duration of the overstay.
Overstay Penalty (Charging Structure):
| Overstay Duration Range | VAMS Penalty/Overstay Charge |
| Exceeding 10 Minutes, up to 15 Minutes | RM10.00 |
| Exceeding 15 Minutes, up to 20 Minutes | RM30.00 |
| Exceeding 20 Minutes, up to 30 Minutes | RM50.00 |
| Exceeding 30 Minutes | RM100.00 |
