We offer an optional service called e-toll that allows customers to use electronic toll lanes on highways, bridges, tunnels, and other tolled passages. All vehicles are pre-equipped to electronically process tolls. If you do not pay cash for tolls, you automatically opt into our e-toll service to which you agree to pay us or our toll program administrator with whom we will share your credit card/debit information for all tolls incurred during your rental and all related fees, charges, and penalties. The e-toll fees may take 4-8 weeks after the rental to be billed to your credit card/debit card on file.

E-TOLL SERVICE CONVENIENCE FEES

  • For our corporate renters who use their corporate discount number (BCD) on the rental contract, the convenience fee for e-Toll usage is $5.95 USD for each day the E-Toll device is used during the rental with a maximum of $29.75 USD per rental contract (plus toll charges).
  • For all other customers, the convenience fee for e-Toll usage is $6.95 USD for each day the E-Toll device is used during the rental with a maximum of $34.75 USD per rental contract (plus toll charges).

E-toll unlimited must be purchased at the beginning of the rental.

OPTING OUT OF E-TOLL
If you do not choose e-toll unlimited at the time of rental, you may avoid the standard e-toll fees on any given day during the term of the rental if you ensure the transponder shield box is in the "closed" position and you pay cash for all tolls, use your own adequately funded, properly mounted and compatible electronic toll device to pay for all tolls, or pay the toll authority directly and follow the toll authority rules and requirements.
