All About ToCoo! ETC Cards & Tocoo! Expressway Pass(TEP)

tocoo

With an ETC card in hand, you can enjoy seamless travel on Japan’s highways. However, our Tocoo! Expressway Pass (referred to as TEP below) comes in four options: TEP (Nationwide), TEP Hokkaido, TEP Kyushu, and TEP Okinawa. Each TEP option covers different regions, so how should you choose the right one? Don’t worry! We’ll explain the details of each ETC card available for rent through ToCoo! so that you can quickly become a savvy road trip expert!


What is an ETC card?
It’s a card that can be used with the ETC system. If you use the ETC system, you don’t need to understand Japanese, you don’t need to use cash, and you don’t have to stop at toll gates, so it’s a very convenient system. The ETC card reader device is equipped as standard in all rental cars in Japan, so all you have to do is put the ETC card into the ETC device and you’re good to go! There are many different types of ETC card passes and services available, so keep reading and we’ll go through the main ones.


What is Tocoo! Expressway Pass(TEP) ？
Tocoo! Expressway Pass(TEP) is a special ETC card with the pass preloaded onto it so that you can use the expressways as much as you want. There are various kinds of TEP, including TEP (Nationwide), TEP Hokkaido, TEP Kyushu, and TEP Okinawa. Also, you can’t reserve just a TEP on its own, so make sure to book the rental car with it.


Each ETC option covers a different area! Keep reading to find out more.

TEP  Nationwide 〇 convenience store or post office

TEP Okinawa

Okinawa

About the ETC Card Types


1. ETC Card (nationwide)
You can book a standalone ETC card without any expressway passes. After you return the ETC card at the end of your reservation, your actual used toll fees will be charged to the credit card you register. After the ETC card is returned, we will confirm the toll road usage details with NEXCO, the highway provider in Japan. If you rent a ToCoo! ETC card, you can pick it up from the designated convenience store or post office, but please note that rental car companies don’t offer delivery service for packages, so you can’t get it from the outlet.

Introduction of Tocoo! ETC Card and Notes on Renting Tocoo! ETC Card

All ToCoo! rental cars are automatically equipped with an ETC equipment / ETC card reader.

But please note that the ETC equipment/ETC card reader is just a machine installed on the car to read the ETC card, and does not include the ETC card inside.

Therefore, if you need an ETC card, please make a reservation together with the car rental reservation.

 

Detailed explanation of ETC card reservation method:

  • Only accept ETC card reservation within 14 days to 60 days before the car pick-up date

  • About the locations where ETC cards can be picked up
    Since Tocoo! is only an online car rental agency, not a car rental company that rents cars directly to customers, if customers reserve an ETC card through us, we will need to mail the ETC card to you.

    However, because the car rental shop does not accept parcel delivery service, we can only send it to the designated Airport Convenience store. We hope you will be able to understand.

If you need to ensure that you can pick up the ETC card in advance, you can apply for early use of the ETC card. Then there will be an additional fee for the ETC card.

Others

  • For the ETC card of the car rental company

You can also rent the ETC card from the car rental company on the pick-up day.

But please note that their ETC card does not have the expressway pass.

They generally have ETC cards for rent, but we cannot guarantee that they will have ETC cards in stock on the day you pick up the car.

We also cannot make reservations or purchase the ETC card of the car rental shop for you,

because the ETC card of the car rental company is not our product, please forgive us.

 

  • For the KEP ,CEP, HEP etc.

Unfortunately, KEP, CEP, HEP etc. all of the Expressway Pass offered by NEXCO Japan are not for purchase at TOCOO! now.

We only have TEP and ToCoo! Unlimited ETC Pass.

If you need KEP, CEP, HEP etc., please make a reservation without an ETC card.

Then check with your rental car shop to see if they can provide it.

 

If they can provide it, you may need to rent their ETC card.

So, please make a reservation without an ETC card.

 

However, we cannot guarantee all the rental car stores can provide you with the Expressway Pass.

And since it is not our product, we are sorry that we cannot book it for you.
