As motorists, we all know by now that one will need a radio-frequency identification sticker (RFID) in order to use the tollways in Luzon. After December 1, the Department of Transportation says that RFIDs will become mandatory, and traveling on a tollway without one is tantamount to a citation ticket.

Easytrip ORRAS: Important Reminders
Stay in your vehicle
On the day of your scheduled appointment, Easytrip and DOTr reminds motorists to observe social distancing. It is recommended that one should stay in his/her vehicle until an Easytrip assistant approaches you to scan your QR code.
Preparing the initial load for the RFID
Just like the normal process, one should prepare the initial load for the RFID. That’s Php 200 for CAVITEX and CALAX, and Php 500 for NLEX.
Access to RFID installation site 10 minutes before your appointment
It is recommended that one should be on the RFID installation site at least 10 minutes prior to your appointment. A no show or a late arrival of more than 10 minutes of the appointment schedule will forfeit the online booking.
Using ORRAS properly
Easytrip sites using the ORRAS will not entertain walk-in applications.
