How to Use Autosweep RFID for Convenient and Cashless Toll Payments

If you’re often on the road, you know how much of a hassle it is to travel across cities, provinces, and even regions. With traffic a constant problem in the Philippines, expressways are almost heaven-sent. Almost—because even they get clogged at toll plazas.

Enter the radio-frequency identification or RFID. This technology facilitates cashless transactions at toll gates, significantly reducing time spent queueing and paying for expressway toll fees. 

Read this quick guide to learn what Autosweep RFID is and how to install and use it.

What is Autosweep RFID and Which Tollways Does It Cover?

Autosweep RFID is one of the primary RFID systems used in major expressways in the Philippines. Here’s where to use Autosweep RFID:

• South Luzon Expressway (SLEX)
• Metro Manila Skyway System
• NAIA Expressway (NAIAX)
• Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR) Tollway
• Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX)
• Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX)

Are Autosweep and Easytrip the Same?

Autosweep and Easytrip are similar, but not the same. Both RFID systems provide contactless and cashless payments in major tollways in the Philippines.

However, Autosweep is for tollways managed by the San Miguel Corporation (SMC), while Easytrip is for those under the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC).

To better visualize which RFID system is accepted where, see the table below: 

👉 Can I Merge Autosweep and Easytrip?

“Can I use Autosweep RFID in NLEX?” Yes, you can enroll Easytrip stickers to Autosweep and vice versa. This means you can now use Easytrip at SMC Tollways such as SLEX, Skyway, Star, TPLEX, and NAIAX; and Autosweep at MPTC Tollways such as NLEX, SCTEX, CAVITEX, and others. 

However, note that only the new Easytrip stickers with Neology tags can be scanned/read by the Autosweep system, so make sure to update your sticker first. Next, take the following steps to register your Easytrip RFID to Autosweep:

1. Download and fill out the Autosweep application form on the Autosweep RFID website.^[1]
2. Print the form and bring your vehicle with the Easytrip sticker and a valid ID to any Autosweep kiosk or customer service center.
3. Your Autosweep account will be activated after RFID testing.

Meanwhile, here's how to register your Autosweep RFID to Easytrip:

1. Bring your vehicle with an Autosweep RFID to any designated Easytrip registration site.^[2]
2. Pay for the initial Easytrip RFID load of ₱200 (South) and ₱500 (North).
3. Wait for your Easytrip wallet to be activated within 24 hours. 
4. Your Easytrip card will be released in around five days.
