This is a list of electronic toll collection systems in use on toll roads throughout the world.
Africa
South Africa Open Road (ORT) E-tolling on the Gauteng Freeway system started on 3 December 2013. The cost for the ETC system to toll 187 km of roads was R20bn. Electronic Toll Collection (Pty) Ltd (ETC), a subsidiary of Kapsch TrafficCom AG, is the contracted company that designed, built and is still operating the system, and in turn oversees the Transaction Clearing House (TCH) which oversees customer accounts, and the Violation Processing Centre (VPC) which will follow procedures against payment defaulters. Vehicles are identified electronically without any cash transactions taking place on the road or highway. Vehicle identification is facilitated by an e-tag or a vehicle license plate number which is recorded by overhead cameras installed on gantries, and interpreted by computer.
The system was widely denounced, and poor compliance affected SANRAL's credit rating. A public coalition known as 'Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance', later renamed Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA), launched initiatives to frustrate e-tolling's implementation, and a trade union, law firm and church were among the dissenting voices. OUTA believed the system to be unlawful and approached the high court in 2012, which ruled that the GFIP was lawfully instituted, but denied SANRAL a punitive costs order. In 2014 OUTA launched the Rule of Law campaign and promised to challenge the legality of procedures against payment defaulters.
In the first six months the overdue toll fees of unregistered road users accrued to R1 billion, and the Gauteng government acknowledged the dissatisfaction of motorists. Sanral CEO Skhumbuzo Macozoma confirmed in Sep 2020 that Gauteng's e-toll compliance rate before the COVID-19 pandemic was at 20%, collecting only R60-million a month.
e-toll operated by Sanral throughout the Gauteng province. Cities include Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Soweto and the East and West Rand. Bakwena N1N4 Toll Concession The Bakwena N1N4 Toll is a separate system and has been operating for the past 12 years. The e-tag system employed by Sanral is also compatible with the current Bakwena tags and may be registered with Sanral's e-toll system for use on certain sections of the N1 and N4 towards Bela-Bela, Rustenburg and Botswana. Since December 2015, the e-tag is operational on all toll roads nationally.
Kenya The Nairobi Expressway is a 27 kilometres (17 mi) toll road in Kenya. ETC started operation in 2022 with users needing to top-up their ETC accounts prior to using the service. ETC users on the Nairobi Expressway enjoy a 5% discount off all trips.

China ETC has operated in China since June 2014. In December 2014, 13 provinces supported ETC. By December 2015, it was accepted in 29 provinces. Plans vary by province and bank, and discounted rates (usually 5% off) may be available in some areas. The MoT scheduled to cancel all cross-provinces and cross-junctions toll booths in 2019, by renovating toll booths in all entries and exits, plus installing barrels (like how Electronic Road Pricing in Singapore works) on the province borders to fully support non-stop payments, and hence all such toll booths were closed by January 2020.
Type of payment: prepaid card, some Chinese debit card (depends on at which bank one's ETC account was opened), some Chinese credit cards (depends on at which bank one's ETC account was opened), and (in some provinces) Alipay and WeChat pay. There is usually an up front payment for new users. Wherever a Chinese ETC account is opened, it is accepted nationwide as long as ETC is supported in that area.
Some emergency services vehicles, such as fire trucks and military vehicles also have ETC e-tags installed by MEM and MND.

Dedicated lanes at some toll plazas have been built for FASTag. As of September 2019, FASTag lanes are available on over 500 national and state highways and over 35.23 million cars are enabled with FASTag.

Indonesia In the early 2010s Bank Mandiri introduced the e-toll (now Mandiri e-money) contactless charge card, which monopolized the Electronic Toll Collection system in Indonesia's expressways for a time.
Since October 31, 2017 all expressways in Indonesia no longer accept cash tolls.
Toll booths only accept contactless charge cards as part of a greater "National Non-Cash Movement"Official and literal translation of the Indonesian name of the movement, which translates into the "National Cashless Movement" (Gerakan Nasional Non Tunai, GNNT) organized by the central bank. As of the time of the switchover, charge cards issued by the three state-owned banks Bank Mandiri, BNI, and BRI, as well as those issued by BCA, or co-branded with those four banks, were accepted. Jakcard from and BSB Cash from are also accepted in local toll roads.
This is also a part of the Government of Indonesia's plan to eradicate toll booths and replace them with open-road tolling (officially called Multi-Lane Free Flow, MLFF by the government) similar to the ETC system in Taiwan.

Philippines There are two brands of RFID electronic toll collection systems in the country: Easytrip for expressways operated by Metro Pacific Investments and Autosweep for those operated by San Miguel Corporation. Both types were aimed to become interoperable sometime in 2020, as the Department of Transportation will start requiring users to register to either ETC system by January 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, there are no plans for the country to use open road tolling.
