Seamless travel is made even more convenient and affordable to frequent users of the North Luzon Expressway through products that enable automated transactions in the toll plazas. Designated toll booths are equipped with cashless collection systems that significantly shorten transaction time at the toll plazas. The different products were designed specifically to meet the different needs of NLEX customers - from private car owners to jeepney and truck operators. Through these products and services, all motorists are assured of a fast and convenient travel along the modernized expressway.
EC TAG
The EC Tag is a cashless toll collection system exclusively available for Class 1 vehicles (including cars, jeepneys, and one-axle pickups and vans). An electronic gadget, called a transponder and attached to the vehicle's windshield, contains account information that can be read by an antenna at dedicated toll lanes. It allows private motorists the privilege of quick, cashless entry and exit at designated toll booths. EC Tag users can choose from two subscription scheme options:
EC TAG
The Summit (Yellow) EC Tag is for private motorists who own one Class 1 vehicle. In this subscription scheme, only one transponder is assigned per account.
The Premiere (Blue) EC Tag may be acquired by private motorists who own more than one Class 1 vehicle. This enables the subscriber to place several vehicles under one account. This is ideal for corporate accounts and businesses with a fleet of company vehicles.
MAGNETIC SWIPE CARDS
The magnetic swipe cards are available for Class 2 (two-axle trucks, buses and vans) and Class 3 (three or more axles) vehicles. It acts like a prepaid card loaded with a certain amount from which the corresponding toll is debited each time the vehicle passes through the toll plazas of the NLEX. These cards are ideal for those who operate a fleet of jeepneys, buses and trucks that frequently ply the expressway. Several cards can be made available under one account.
