Is there a service fee for ETC if not used for a year?
1 Answers
ETC will incur a service fee if not used for a year. Here are the relevant details: 1. Reason: Currently, although the ETC cards issued by major banks do not impose a minimum annual spending requirement on vehicle owners, they still require a certain number of transactions to waive the annual fee. Additionally, fees such as SMS service charges and card loss handling fees must also be paid by the vehicle owner. 2. Billing System: The system utilizes dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. It employs computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks, enabling vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping at toll stations.
