Car Rental Toll Pass Options
The majority of car rental companies now provide some sort of option for your rental that will allow the renter to go directly through electronic toll payment lanes, as opposed to waiting in long cash payment lines at toll plazas.
There is, of course a fee associated with these items. The fees and tolls are billed directly to the credit card used at the time of pick up. The fees average $2.50 per day for each day you use a pass option (most companies cap at $10 per week).
These pass options can be limited to specific geographic areas, which include the Northeast United States (from Maine to Virginia), Florida, and Colorado, the metropolitan Houston area, the metropolitan Dallas area, Chicago areas and Puerto Rico.
Keep in mind that if renters decline to purchase the bypass option offered by the car rental companies, they will pay the car rental company for all unpaid toll roads violations (including violations captured by camera) charged by the toll authority plus a predetermined administrative fee per violation.
And most car rental companies will tell you tha if you have a personal transponder or account, it may not transfer to the rental vehicle and you will be charged a toll violation.
