Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-02-01

In order to enjoy convenient travel services, many car owners have chosen to handle ETC, but many car owners no longer use ETC due to various reasons such as changing cars. Today, let's decipher those things about ETC.

1.ETC is not used, can I just throw it away?

ETC is not used, of course it can't be thrown away! The personal information of the car owner is stored in the ETC device, and if it is obtained by criminals, it may pose a threat to the property safety of the car owner. In addition, uncancelled ETC devices may affect the credit history of the car owner, and should be cancelled in time if the car owner no longer uses the ETC.

2.Can the ETC be removed and used in a different car?

This situation is not allowed, the ETC card and the vehicle's information are linked, that is, one car, one card, one tag. If it is disassembled and misappropriated to other vehicles, it will cause ETC to be stolen and tolls will be evaded. The device cannot be disassembled at will, and once it is disassembled, the entire ETC device needs to be reactivated. It is also impossible to pull out the ETC card or lend it to other vehicles, which will cause the system to fail to recognize the ETC card, or detect that the vehicle information written in the card is inconsistent with the actual traffic information, and the consequence is that it cannot pass normally and may even be blacklisted.

3.Different situations are handled differently

Situation 1: Change the car without changing the license

Although the license plate and owner information have not changed, the vehicle information has changed, and in this case, you need to go to the original ETC office to enter the new vehicle information. Individual users need to drive a new car and bring the original ETC device, new car driver's license, ID card, go to the original ETC outlet to change the vehicle information, and then install the device on the front windshield of the new car, reactivate the ETC electronic tag, and then resume use.

Situation 2: Change the license plate without changing the car

In this case, you can only cancel the original ETC equipment and then re-apply, you need to bring the original ETC equipment to the original ETC outlet, and then apply for ETC again with the new license plate.

Situation 3: Change the license plate and change the car

The old car is sold, the new car is replaced, and the new license plate is used, in this case, the original ETC equipment is removed, and then go to the ETC outlet to cancel and then re-apply.

Scenario 4: ETC is no longer used

Before selling your car, remember to dismantle the ETC equipment, bring the relevant documents, and go to the outlet where the ETC was handled at that time for cancellation.

4.ETC does not log out

1. If the license plate is **, but the bound ETC has not been unbound, according to the relevant regulations, an ETC can only correspond to a license plate number. This will directly lead to the new car owner not being able to apply for ETC, which will bring a lot of trouble to both parties.

2. When I change to a new car, although I keep the original license plate number, I can't apply for ETC again. Because when the ETC device is disassembled, the anti-removal button on the back will pop up, causing the ETC to fail and cannot be used anymore.

3. If the vehicle is sold to someone else, the ETC is not cancelled, and the equipment is not disassembled, then when the vehicle passes through the high-speed toll station, only the ETC will be identified, and as long as there is money in the bank card, the money in the card will be directly deducted as the toll fee.

In short, ETC cannot be thrown away directly if it is not used, and must be written off in time.
