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.
