I’m looking on doing an east – west road Trip starting at Newark ending in San Diego through the south over a two week period. I notice Avis do a unlimited toll pass, would that cover me for the whole journey with nothing extra to pay?
Thanks in advance

Hi Nikki,
As far as I know, the unlimited toll pass should cover you for the entire journey. But I’d recommend you check with Avis to verify. Safe travels!

Discoveries from my recent trip to Florida
1. I have an NC Quick Pass. I discovered you cannot add the rental car to your account. You must delete the current vehicle and replace it with the rental car. However, I couldn’t do this on an iPhone. I did it on an iPad later. That means I got charged tolls from the rental car company for the first day. Next time I’ll get the iPad before I drive off. Supposedly it takes 24 hours. I don’t know about that but it did work for me on the second day.
2. I used the supplied sticky tape with Velcro to put it on the windshield. I carried a razor blade scraper, which worked, to get it off as I was filling with gas. Note, razor blade scraper in checked luggage! If you want replacement sticky tape, Amazon and others carry it.

The Hertz daily fee for each day that a toll is incurred is $9.99 not $5.95.

Hi Jkd,
Thank you for pointing that out – I’ve corrected the post.

>You will purchase a mini transponder (which won’t work again once removed from the windshield) or a portable device.
We took the mini transponder off the window in Florida and still got charged for the next day renter’s charges based on the license plate. So be sure to have the ending date correct.
Florida …. not a fan.
