Renting a vehicle? Paying tolls is easy.
Tolls on The Toll Roads are collected electronically and must be paid online 5 days before or after driving. Whether you are borrowing a vehicle or are driving a rental, learn how you can pay tolls on The Toll Roads and avoid receiving a violation. Before driving a rental car on The Toll Roads, it is recommended that you ask the rental car company how they process tolls and fees.
Driving a rental vehicle without temporarily adding the license plate number to your account may result in tolls and additional service fees billed through the rental company or a violation.
With a FasTrak® account
If you are renting or borrowing a vehicle and have a FasTrak account with any tolling agency in California, you can temporarily add the vehicle’s license plate number to your account. If your account is with The Toll Roads, make sure to include a start and end date for your rental.
Without a FasTrak account
Register with The Toll Roads
If you do not have a FasTrak account, you can have rental tolls charged directly to your credit card. Once you enter the license plate number you will be directed through a process to have tolls charged directly to your credit card for all or part of your rental period. Some companies require you pre-register your vehicle before your drive on The Toll Roads. Any trips incurred before you register the vehicle may be charged directly through the rental company after you return the car, according to your rental agreement.
Registering your rental vehicle will only cover tolls incurred on the 73, 133, 241 and 261 Toll Roads.
Pay via Your Rental Agreement
Many rental companies offer to charge tolls conveniently through your rental agreement. Additionally, some Avis and Budget car rental locations in California have certain vehicles equipped with FasTrak transponders that allow drivers to use any tolled facility in California for a nominal fee. The rental car companies listed below offer the option of paying tolls through your rental agreement. Renters will be charged the tolls incurred and the convenience fee outlined in the rental agreement.
Please contact your rental company for specific information on their toll policies and for information regarding convenience fees that may be assessed after driving a tolled facility, including The Toll Roads.
