Often not on the highway, is it necessary to apply for ETC?

Yesterday, a friend asked me if there was no ETC in his car. Do I need to apply for one? Because ETC is being promoted without spending money now, and many banks have given many preferential policies, and some banks have also sent fuel cards or something. But he can't run the highway twice a year. Is it necessary? I believe that many friends have encountered this kind of entanglement recently. Is it good or not? Turtles still suggest doing ETC!

Why? First of all, the use of ETC channel can improve the traffic efficiency of toll stations and greatly save the time of car owners and friends. Moreover, in the future, only one artificial passage will be reserved at the high-speed toll station. Second, the ETC channel toll is 15% off. Although it won't save much money, it's convenient and fast. Third, the national transportation department is now in the stage of vigorously promoting ETC, just like promoting new energy vehicles a few days ago. Preferential policies are strong and the threshold is relatively low. As time goes on, preferential policies may gradually disappear.

Whether or not to run ETC does not depend on whether you often get on the highway, but on the popularity of ETC technology. If there are fewer and fewer high-speed manual toll channels, you must apply for ETC.

The Ministry of Communications has put forward the goal of "canceling the provincial boundary manual toll stations at the end of the year". By the end of the year, ETC channel will become the main toll channel, and the toll rate of expressway non-stop will reach over 90%. Moreover, at present, Shandong, Guangdong and other provinces and cities are studying and promoting non-inductive payment of parking fees, and future parking lots will implement non-inductive payment. Other provinces and cities are also actively responding, and the promotion and application of ETC is facing full coverage.

At this time, it is the general trend to bid for ETC, which saves money and time. Why not?

As for this ETC, it depends on your mood, but I still suggest doing it. First, it doesn't charge now, and it also has a bank account, so it doesn't need much time and money. But if you don't do it, you will be more harassed in this domestic environment, because it is such an environment that someone will always influence you. You don't have to do it. There is nothing anyone can do about it. Who said that? Right? I just made a whitebait and threw it into the glove box. I've never used it!

It is more convenient to handle ETC now. You can handle it directly on WeChat or Alipay, as long as you don't waste time and money. This is basic, this is my opinion, especially those friends who already have credit cards. You can handle it directly on the corresponding bank APP without spending a few minutes by yourself. For small partners who don't have credit cards, they can still be considered. Because people don't like to apply for a credit card, because there are various annual fees for handling a card, and using a savings card may require putting a certain amount of money into it. These little friends can't cope. Or use WeChat Alipay account to deduct the fee. If you hate ETC, you can do without it.

In fact, I am in this state myself. Because I work in other places, I seldom go back to my hometown for a year. Go home a little more frequently in the past two years, and run the expressway 3-4 times or 5-6 times a year. I didn't think about running ETC before, and the traffic jam was particularly serious when I went home for the New Year, and the traffic jam at the toll station was also very serious. It is very convenient to watch others use it. So I also applied for ETC last year. Honestly, it's very convenient. This kind of non-stop payment can save a long time and the toll can be discounted.

Personally, I think it is necessary to apply for this ETC. It is more convenient to get rid of high-speed running, not to mention saving time and saving some high-speed expenses. This year, the Ministry of Communications also clearly stated that by the end of 20 19, more than 80% of cars will be equipped with ETC equipment, and the car utilization rate of ETC will reach more than 90% this year. I believe many people know that our provincial toll station will be cancelled.

So this is a big trend. Personally, I think it still needs to be dealt with. The process of handling ETC is actually not very troublesome. At that time, I handled it at the Postal Savings Bank and paid a deposit from 500 yuan. If you don't use this ETC any more, the deposit in 500 yuan can be refunded to you. This equipment of ETC is free, and now the ETC equipment of major banks is free.

There are many advantages in processing and so on. 1 is to reduce congestion. Sometimes you charge manually, and then you get the card manually. It takes at least one minute for a car to pass the toll booth. If you take the ETC lane, you can travel at a speed of about 10 km per hour, which is very convenient and will reduce congestion.

In addition to reducing congestion, it also saves a lot of labor costs, because after using ETC payment, provincial toll stations do not need too many toll collectors, but there is another problem that needs attention, that is, the safety measures of expressway toll stations need to be strengthened. Because there is no manual charge, if everyone is taking the ETC free passage and some criminals are also on the expressway, it will increase the difficulty of interception.

As we all know, highways need maintenance costs, and so do highways in our country. In fact, many car owners may not know that the annual maintenance cost of expressways in China is greater than the revenue cost. In some places in Hainan, highways do not need to pay tolls, but the oil price is relatively high.

Summary: Generally speaking, I think it is very convenient for vehicles to apply for an ETC, so the current process is also very simple. All the equipment is free, which can not only reduce the congestion on the expressway, but also save our time. Personally, I feel very good. If you have different opinions, you can leave a message in the comment area and discuss it together.

ETC guides license plates several times a year and several times a month to pay for holidays, traffic jams and reversing.

That depends on the frequency of high speed, like I go to the high speed two or three times a year, so I didn't apply for ETC. Now the policy is to guide car owners to handle ETC, and it also gives many concessions. I also heard that cars without ETC can't pass for free on holidays from next year. These are all incentives for car owners who do not have ETC to handle it as soon as possible. Is it necessary to apply for ETC? In addition to the frequency of getting on the expressway, we should also understand the role of ETC. ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system. At present, ETC is vigorously developed to replace manual charges, and manual charges are gradually decreasing. It is really convenient. I used to queue up on the expressway, and ETC was very smooth. I think the technology is developing and progressing, but I prefer to pay for scanning the license plate compared with ETC, but now ETC is a way. Therefore, it is more troublesome to go to the high-speed several times a year to handle ETC. Even if holidays are not free, it doesn't matter much if I have to queue up on the highway. Some people don't handle it because they don't get on the expressway very much, feel unsafe, have the risk of being stolen, or it is ugly to install ETC, and it is very troublesome to bind the bank card. Are troubled car owners. If they get on the highway as often as I do, they can also choose not to apply for ETC, but in the future, there will be more trends.

Hello! Glad to answer your question!

First of all, analyze the benefits and reasons for not handling ETC for you:

Benefits of ETC

1, saving time

It takes only 2 to 3 seconds for vehicles to pass through the ETC lane, and there is no need to queue up for payment. In the traditional manual toll lane, according to the normal traffic flow, the waiting time for vehicles to enter the lane and complete the toll collection is 20 to 120 seconds.

2. Save fuel

Because vehicles using ETC can pass through without stopping, the frequency of vehicle starting and braking is reduced, and the fuel consumption and wear of vehicles are reduced.

3. Environmental protection

After using ETC, the fuel consumption will be reduced and the vehicles will be worn, which can naturally reduce the exhaust emissions and environmental pollution.

Reasons for not handling

1. In the past, ETC in Paris needed to consume or pre-store thousands of dollars, but now there are other silver and yellow cards that can be bound to credit cards or ordinary one-card cards, which can avoid Zenawin.

2. Some banks promote equipment for free, with many conditions attached. Many car owners fail to meet the requirements. Drivers who apply for ETC cards must first submit their applications to the local bank. Banks in some places will also advise you to apply for a credit card. It takes a lot of time and energy to complete this process.

Many of our business activities and travel expenses can be reimbursed by invoices. ETC is an electronic toll collection without stopping, so although the history and expenses are well documented, under the current reimbursement system, it is more troublesome for other vehicles to use ETC except for buses with fixed lines.

If you don't usually get on the expressway or rarely get on the expressway, the company will often need high-speed invoice reimbursement in daily work. Personally, I suggest not to do it for the time being.

I believe that all friends who have driven the expressway have this experience. They have worked hard in the process of queuing to get the certificate and pay the fee. A car next to the ETC channel will pass soon, and there is a discount on the toll. It's really eye-catching Think about simply running an ETC, but think about how many times a year you can't take the expressway, so is it necessary to run an ETC?

Here's an explanation for people who can't drive. The so-called ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system, and the ETC lane is for vehicles equipped with ETC on-board equipment, using electronic toll collection. If you need to install it, you can search the relevant banks online and go through the formalities. The advantage of ETC is that you don't have to wait in line to get the card, and the toll is preferential.

It looks really good. Do all the cars have to be disposed of? How can I put it? If you don't take the expressway often (it is often necessary to drive the expressway at least once a month here), personally, I don't think it is necessary to apply for ETC. Because often taking the high-speed is definitely the demand of some businesses, it is really just needed.

Someone may have said, didn't they say ETC has a discount? That means there is a 10% discount. If you often walk so many times, there are still some discounts. Ordinary car owners like us can't save a few dollars by walking so many times a year, which is really not cost-effective. I don't have to wait in line at most occasionally, but it seems that I have to pay for an ETC myself, which is estimated to be around 200 yuan, so I still have to ask you, is it really necessary?

In fact, many car owners are comfortable watching others use ETC, but they will give up after understanding it. The reason may be the same as I said. First of all, their high-speed travel is limited in one year, and they really can't save a few money. In addition, they are afraid that the trouble will eventually give up. If they often don't take the expressway, there is really no need to apply for ETC again.

You'd better prepare one for those who often don't run the highway, etc., in case of emergency. ETC is very convenient, you don't have to wait in line to get a card to pay, saving time, and we also have a 15% discount here! I got a car, which is still free for one year, that is, during the May 11th holiday. I spent money to run the expressway two or three times, and the cost of each trip probably didn't exceed 100 yuan. Although the utilization rate is extremely low, I still experienced his convenience.

What I handle is recharging 500 yuan, giving away equipment for free, and deducting 5 points from the high-speed fee. Tell me why it is convenient. Without etc, you have to get a card every time you get on the highway. Now the card is issued by the machine. You need to get the car as close as possible to the card issuing machine, otherwise it will be really difficult to get the card. Several times, I could only unfasten my seat belt and lean out half to reach it. Etc devices have no such worries at all.

At present, the penetration rate of etc is still very low, and the stage of getting the card at the entrance and charging manually at the exit is the most time-consuming. If you meet an unskilled driver, or you need change when you pay in cash at high speed, it will take longer, which will inevitably lead to traffic jams at non-etc intersections. Etc crossing adopts all-electronic identification system, which is almost the rhythm of seconds. Even if there are multiple etc vehicles at the same time, it will not cause traffic jams.

You mentioned that you seldom run on the highway, but that doesn't mean you won't run on the highway again. Therefore, it is best to handle etc according to the minimum recharge standard. The money in the card has not expired. I suggest you apply for one.

If you politely recommend ETC, I will do it. If you force me to do it, I will resist. I won't handle it. Not bad for that discount high-speed fare.

Some people say that it is not necessary to install ETC if you don't run high-speed often. It seems reasonable, but personally it is not perfect. A large number of car owners just commute to work, and occasionally have an outing on weekends, so they really don't get on the highway. But once the owner gets on the highway, there is a great possibility that he will go to travel or go home on holidays. At this time, high-speed charges often queue up. At this time, I will definitely envy those car owners who have installed ETC. This is the doubt of a large number of car owners. Personally, it is still recommended to deal with it.

What's important is that the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport strongly recommend installing ETC this year, and at the same time give real discounts to ETC users! Although you don't run high-speed every day, the convenience of ETC is beyond doubt. The process of queue-free, card-free and payment-free is faster than a little bit! In the future, there will be more and more ETC lanes, and there will be fewer and fewer artificial lanes, so there will be fewer and fewer gates for users who have not installed ETC.

If you are determined to handle ETC, here is a warm reminder: the ETC policy of each city bank is different. For example, individual city banks need to charge a deposit regardless of whether they are bound to savings cards or credit cards, and individual cities charge equipment fees. Everyone should consult more and compare more according to the specific situation. For more details, please refer to the article/I 6705561764790010379/(The picture shows the ETC charging policy of banks in Ningbo).

I believe that all the friends who have driven the expressway have similar experiences, and they have worked hard to queue up for the card payment, but there is no car next to the ETC channel. They not only have smooth roads, but also give priority to crossing, which is really enviable. I really want to apply for an ETC, but I can't get on the highway several times a year. Is it really necessary to apply?
