Driving on toll roads: What you need to know

What you pay to take a toll road partly depends on the number of axles on your vehicle, so an RV can cost you two or three times as much as a car.

On some roads, tolls depend on the time of day. They may for example be higher during peak hours.

Not all toll roads accept all methods of payment. Some you can take only if you have a transponder, while others will send you a bill. And some give you a choice of how to pay.

Warning: When you drive up to a toll station, make sure you’re in the correct lane for the method of payment you’re going to use:

  • CASH ($): payment in US$ (exact change) or to the cashier in some tollbooths.

  • Transponder: if you have a transponder they accept (E-ZPass, Uni, or SunPass PRO, for instance).

  • Important: If you use the transponder lane and don’t have a transponder, you’ll have to pay a fine as well as your toll.
