From August 2026, car owners pasting VETC and ePass road toll cards will be deducted an account management fee, at 6,600 VND/month/wallet for individual customers and 66,000 VND/month/wallet for organizations and businesses.
According to VETC and ePass representatives, in case they do not want to use VETC e-wallets or Viettel Money e-wallets (linked to ePass) to avoid paying the above fees, vehicle owners can cancel the link and switch to other methods such as bank accounts, postpaid services, credit cards or international cards.
A notice from VETC Automatic Toll Collection Co., Ltd.

For example, for a transaction through a station worth 100,000 VND, customers must pay an additional 3,000 VND limit management fee. The total amount recorded as used and the customer needs to return is 103,000 VND.
In addition to the limit management fee, customers may also incur a late payment fee if they do not pay or do not pay the full amount due.
