Request to customers using ETC
- It is very troublesome when the entrance ETC lane is closed at the target toll gate, but since ETC is not available, you can use it with a pass ticket on the general lane.
- At the exit toll booth, if you pass the ticket and the ETC card you are using on a general lane, the toll will be paid using the ETC card. (Of course, you can pay with cash or other credit cards.)
- At this time, points added by mileage registration will be added the same as when running ETC.
- Please note that various ETC time zone discounts must be submitted to the toll gate staff at the exit toll booth.
How to use when ETC lane is closed
- If the entrance ETC lane is closed
At the entrance toll booth, be sure to stop in a general lane and receive a pass. Also, at the exit toll booth, stop once in the general lane and hand the ticket and ETC card to the toll booth staff.
For ETC midnight discount and commuting discount, the tollgate staff will handle the discount processing at the exit tollgate.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we ask that you please inform us at the exit toll gate that "the ETC lane was not available".
If you cannot apply at the exit toll booth, please contact NEXCO EAST Customer Center. Please note that the ETC midnight discount and commuting discount may not be applied if you do not request it.
- If the exit ETC lane is closed
Please be sure to stop at the general lane at the exit toll gate and hand your ETC card to the toll gate staff.
ETC midnight discount and commuting discount will be automatically applied when you use the ETC lane at the entrance for ETC driving and meet the discount conditions. (There is no need to request at the exit toll gate.)
