ETC Rental

An ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) card in Japan is a prepaid or postpaid card used with an in-vehicle ETC device to automatically pay highway tolls without stopping at toll booths. It offers convenience, discounts on certain routes, and is widely used for smoother travel on Japan’s expressways.

Initial Flat Rate & Deposit for ETC Card Rental: An initial flat rate of 20,000 JPY applies to ETC card rentals for our camper van and other vehicle rentals.

Post-Rental Adjustments: After the rental period, we will assess the actual costs. If there are any excess charges above the initial amount paid, we will bill the customer for the difference. The customer will also be billed an ETC service charge of 1,000 JPY + 10% tax and a payment service provider fee of 3.6%. Conversely, if the total charges are less than the amount paid, we will process a refund for the difference.
