[Notice] Unfortunately new installations only!? [2026 Latest] The nationwide first-come-first-served “ETC In-Vehicle Device Purchase Subsidy Campaign” for 185,000 units is starting!
New installation only: The vehicle must not currently have an ETC device installed, andthe vehicle (by chassis number) must have never received a subsidy before (including past campaigns). ※Replacements or exchanges do not qualify.
All-in-one procedure: All of “device purchase,” “setup,” and “installation work” must be completed simultaneously at a campaign-participating dealer. ※Bringing in a device purchased online or elsewhere does not qualify.
Vehicle (by chassis number) that has never received a subsidy before (including past campaigns) This is the critical point. . . . If you were thinking about trading in, unfortunately this doesn’t apply.
Great offer: If you purchase, set up, and install a new ETC (or ETC2.0) in-vehicle device during the campaign period, you’ll receiveup to ¥10,000 off the device price!
Most important caveat (critical): As the title indicates, unfortunately this time it’s **”limited to new installations (vehicles getting ETC for the first time) only.”** Upgrading from an existing old ETC or transferring setup from another vehicle does not qualify.
Unit limit: First-come-first-served nationwide for185,000 units; the campaign ends once this limit is reached, even if the period hasn’t ended.

“Setup System (ITS Japan) Data Cross-Reference”
This is the most reliable safeguard. When setting up an ETC (the process of writing vehicle information to the in-vehicle device), all vehicles aremanaged by “chassis number.”
The following data is instantly cross-referenced in the system during the procedure.
Check of past subsidy history The system verifies “whether this chassis number has ever used an ETC subsidy before (including past campaigns).” The regulations explicitly state“vehicles that have previously received assistance on the same vehicle are ineligible,” and since the data is retained, such vehicles are rejected.
Verification of current setup information In theory,if another ETC in-vehicle device is currently linked and registered to that chassis number (valid setup data exists), it will not be considered a new installation.
Schedule
Period: July 8, 2026 (Wednesday) – October 30, 2026 (Friday)
Note: Even within the period,the campaign ends once the nationwide first-come-first-served limit of 185,000 units is reached.
Government Subsidies Announced! The 2026 Motorcycle ETC Campaign Offers Up to ¥10,000 Off.
Topic: Exclusive Japanese government campaign for new motorcycle ETC toll-system installations. Details: Happy Saturday from the Mutsuzawa factory! We have an important announcement for riders looking to prep their machines for long summer road trips. The 2026 ETC Purchase Subsidy Campaign is officially launching, giving riders up to ¥10,000 off on the device purchase, setup, and installation costs. However, as the title states, this campaign is strictly for “new installations only.” Upgrading an existing old ETC device or re-registering a used unit will unfortunately not qualify for the discount. Verdict: The subsidy is limited to the first 185,000 vehicles nationwide (combining cars and motorcycles), meaning the quota will fill up rapidly before peak summer. If you want to bypass painful tollbooth cash-handling and cruise seamlessly, contact Decoboco immediately to lock in your slot and enjoy professional, hidden-wire installation!
