What happens if I drive a rental vehicle without PlatePass?

When driving a rental vehicle without PlatePass, you will still be able to use toll roads, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Toll authorities typically require vehicles to either have a toll transponder or an alternate payment option to access electronic toll lanes. If the rental vehicle does not have a PlatePass or similar toll transponder, you may be required to pay tolls using cash or by seeking a toll payment option at a later time, which can often involve additional fees. In many cases, rental car companies offer the option to add a toll pass to your rental agreement, which allows for automatic payment of tolls using the company’s transponder. It is important to read the terms of the rental agreement carefully, as this option may incur daily fees in addition to the cost of the tolls themselves. If a rental vehicle is used without PlatePass or some other toll payment mechanism, you may face the inconvenience of stopping at toll booths or incurring additional charges if you do not settle your tolls in a timely manner. Furthermore, driving without proper toll payment could result in a violation and additional charges being applied to your rental account. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the specific tolling policies of the area where you will be driving and the terms of your rental contract. For more information specific to your rental situation and to understand your options, it may be helpful to consult the appropriate website where contact information is available.
