Easytrip RFID Installation Guide

In the last article, I wrote about how the COVID19 pandemic brought new policies that lessen physical contact. One such policy is the cashless transaction in our tollways. To make that possible radio-frequency identification (RFID) stickers were "reintroduced" to our motorists and as of December 2020, about 90% of the toll roads now use RFID stickers.

Keep in mind that as of this writing, there are 2 RFID stickers used in our tollways. These are the:

Autosweep RFID used at Skyway, SLEX, NAIAX, STAR Tollway, MCX, and TPLEX.

Easytrip RFID used at NLEX, SCTEX, CAVITEX, and CALAX.

In this article, I will only focus on the Easytrip RFID and I will share with you how to avail it, where to avail it, and how to install it. If you haven't read about my Autosweep RFID article you might want to check it out by clicking this link - Autosweep RFID Installation Guide.

There are RFID stickers that can be placed on your headlights and there are some that are placed in the windshield usually behind the rear-view mirror. However, keep in mind that a very heavy tint might affect the readability of the RFID sticker. 

Easytrip RFID payment and loading:

Upon installation, you will be asked to load your Easytrip RFID. The minimum load for your Easytrip RFID is 500 pesos. Maintaining balance is 100 pesos for class 1, 200 pesos from class 2, and 300 pesos for class 3 vehicles. If it goes lower than that, your account will be disabled. As for the maximum load, I read from some blogs that it is 3000 pesos.

It was only last Jan. 2, 2021, that I availed the Easytrip RFID sticker at the CAVITEX Toll Gate Installation Site. It was around 4PM when I arrived and during that time there was a long queue. The whole process took around 40 minutes. That includes the waiting time, me filling up the form, the installation, and the loading of the RFID sticker. 

So, if you have a car, I urge you to head to the nearest installation sites and have an Easytrip RFID sticker installed to make your future trip cashless, fast, and hassle-free.
