Rental Cars

Add Your Rental Car to your ExpressToll Account and Save

ExpressToll customers can add a rental car license plate number to their toll account. To ensure the tolls are properly billed to the account, customers must follow a few easy steps.

  1. Add car to the account BEFORE driving on the toll road. Make sure to list the vehicle as a rental on your account. Specific make and model will not be needed.
  2. Include a start and end date when the car drives the road. 

Adding a rental plate to an ExpressToll account allows customers to pay the tolls only and avoid the additional administrative fees charged by rental car companies for driving their rental car on a toll road.

Some rental car agencies equip their cars with a non-removable ExpressToll transponder. If so, the customer is automatically opted-in to the rental agency’s toll plan. Please contact the rental car agency directly with questions.

Rental vehicles not properly added to an account are billed through the rental car agency.
