Lingkaran Cekap Sdn Bhd (LCSB) would start collecting a private road charge on Jalan Genting Highlands from May 28, 2026, with cars and vans charged RM5 at the two listed entry points.
The company, described in its advisory as the authorised road operator for Jalan Genting Highlands, said all permitted road users, except exempted categories, would have to pay the applicable charge upon entry into the private road.
Collection would be carried out at Genting Highlands Entry at Genting Sempah and Gohtong Jaya Entry at the Gohtong Jaya roundabout.
The rate table lists RM5 for cars and vans at both the Genting Sempah and Gohtong Jaya entries. Medium-sized lorries are charged RM15, heavy lorries RM25, taxis RM3.30 and buses RM5 at both points. Vehicles in Classes 2, 3, 4 and 5 must enter through the special lanes or licence plate recognition lanes (see table).
One point still needs clarification. LCSB’s announcement lists a RM5 charge for cars and vans at both entry points, but it does not state plainly whether a car travelling from Genting Sempah all the way to the peak would be charged once or at both gantries.
Based on the wording of the advisory, a trip from the lowlands to the Genting peak appears likely to cost RM10 one way for a car if the vehicle passes through both charge points. TienCars has reached out to LCSB for clarification and would update this story if a reply is received.
Emergency vehicles and motorcycles are exempted without registration. Private vehicles belonging to public servants working at identified government institutions in Genting Highlands may also be exempted, but registration is required and entry must be through licence plate recognition or special lanes.
Listed institutions include schools, police stations, the fire station, Klinik Desa Sri Layang and several government offices.
From June 28, LCSB would introduce arrangements for eligible permanent residents of Genting Highlands. They may register up to two Class 1 vehicles and choose either a per-entry rate that is 10% lower than the normal rate, or a six-month season pass with unlimited entries during its validity period.
LCSB said exemption and preferential-rate arrangements would be reviewed periodically. It also directed road users to its official website for vehicle categories, registration procedures, preferential rates, frequently asked questions and season-pass details.
In March, LCSB had announced it would be trialling the road charge system from April 2.
