Do I Need Special Equipment to Use Commercial Truck Tolls?

When your commercial vehicle passes under a porch, the E-ZPass team reads the information from its E-ZPass transponder (tag) and records the transaction information. PrePass Tolls is a comprehensive electronic toll payment and management service for trucks that don't need a bypass service. The equipment installed on the porch and on the roadway classifies and identifies the vehicle and electronically processes tolls. The ORT allows traffic to flow freely, reducing accidents and providing the convenience our customers expect and appreciate. You must understand that if the location you are returning the truck to does not sell fuel or offer an optional refueling service, you must return the truck with a full tank of fuel.

You are also responsible for all mechanical damage to the truck as a result of your failure to comply with this agreement, such as if you have filled it with the wrong fuel, if the truck has been overloaded or if you do not have the transportation services we have indicated. Furthermore, when you know or should know that the continued operation of the truck is likely to cause damage to the truck or towing equipment, you must stop. If you do what is indicated on the rental document, you agree to insure the truck using a standard liability insurance policy, signed with Budget Truck Rental, LLC and Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. The towed truck must be of the type of truck identified in the rental agreement at the place of origin. You acknowledge that the Truck is our property, that you have no authority to sublet or transfer the Truck and that any attempt to do so is void and constitutes a breach of this agreement. INFORM Tolling is the industry's only data management tool designed to provide truck operators and fleet managers with actionable toll information through a single, intuitive portal.

When the truck enrolled in PrePass passes slowly through the toll lane, the transponder is read instantly and the corresponding toll amount is billed to the carrier's PrePass Plus account. You are responsible for the truck and for all charges, losses, and damages to the truck that occur before the premises open and the truck is found on the premises. In addition, if equipped and as permitted by law, the truck's GPS device, along with your smartphone, can also be used to process the rental, including when the rental can begin, when it can end, the truck's fuel levels and the truck's mileage. Budget Truck will connect the towing equipment to the rental truck when you pick it up, but you will not be able to drive the tow vehicle against the towing equipment.
