The shift to cashless transactions in all toll roads causes inconvenience for many motorists due to shortages of RFID stickers and long queues in installation sites. The implementation of social distancing, in response to the ongoing health crisis, made it even difficult to avail of an RFID sticker.
To ease the inconvenience, German car brand BMW decided to open its doors to allow any motorists to avail of an Autosweep RFID sticker in its select dealerships despite using other car brands.
Autosweep RFID is used on San Miguel Corporation (SMC) tollways such as the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), Skyway, Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR) Tollway, NAIA Expressway (NAIAX), and Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX).
Book an appointment now to avail of an Autosweep RFID sticker
There are three select dealerships that will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the RFID installation. Of note, this will run until January 30 only. The select BMW dealerships are as follows:
- RSA Motors Alabang located at Molito Lifestyle Center, Madrigal Business Park, Commerce Avenue Alabang, Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila
- RSA Motors Libis located at 184 Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Ave, Bagumbayan, Quezon City, 1110 Metro Manila
- Autoallee BMW located at Eton Centris, EDSA cor. Quezon Ave, Metro Manila.
BMW said that those who wish to avail of an Autosweep RFID in its select dealerships must schedule an appointment online first at Autosweep’s official website. And just like most installation sites, BMW is reminding those with schedules that a Php 200 installation fee is required. The paid amount is accounted for as the initial load.
