Article: When Does a $5 Toll Cost $30 ? When One Drives A Rental Car.

After living in North Texas for many years and dealing with NTTA, I'm surprised at how terrible so many other toll agencies are. If your tag fails to read on an NTTA road, when the video catches your plate, they run it against their database. If it matches an active tag, it gets charged to that account at the discounted rate. No reason you would ever know it didn't read. No idea what rentals are like around here though.

For the most part, it's seemless with other toll agencies also. When people forget to update their license plate or use a rental car is when issues come up.  In other areas of the country where there's toll plazas (ie: NYC), there'll be more toll transactions in a week than what Texas will see in a year, so there's bound to be more toll violations as well.
