Using a Ez Pass When Renting a Moving Truck Easy Pass

Most states in the U.S. have toll roads, so when driving a Uhaul trailer within a state or across states, you may have to pay at toll roads, toll bridges, or toll tunnels.

Many states in the U.S. have adopted open road tolling systems to replace toll booths.

So instead of stopping and paying with cash, drivers don't have to stop, and they pay with electronic toll payment systems such as EZ Pass in Virginia or iPass in Illinois.

Yes, we know what you're thinking; most states have their payment system.

If you're renting a trailer from Uhaul and moving interstate, it's very normal to wonder if you can make use of iPass to pay tolls.

The ensuing segment shed more light on that. Ride with us!

iPass: All You Need to Know

iPass is a digital transponder usually fixed on the windshield of a vehicle, and allows drivers to pass toll plazas without having to stop and pay.

The toll fee is instead deducted automatically from the owner of the vehicle's account.

You can use iPass (regular or commercial transponder) with a Uhaul trailer when traveling on Illinois tollway, Chicago Skyway, Indiana toll roads, and in 17 other states (through EZ Pass).

When driving a Uhaul trailer or truck through a toll booth or toll plaza, your iPass will receive a signal from a radio antenna.

This activates the transponder and sends back an identifying number that describes the vehicle's use of the road.

The toll will then be debited from the registered vehicle owner's account. iPass users benefit from a 50% discount.

Can it Be Used With Uhaul Trailer?

You can also pay tolls for your Uhaul rental using EZ Pass.

However, in most cases, the class of the vehicle listed on your EZ Pass account has to be the same as that of the rental vehicle for this to work.

This means you can't use the EZ Pass for a regular car if you're driving a rental truck or trailer with dual rear wheels because it's billed at a higher toll.

In other cases, you can simply just add the information of the Uhaul rental to your EZ Pass account, and you're good to go. Note that Uhaul doesn't provide transponders with their rental vehicles.

Tolls are paid by the registered owner of a vehicle, so if you rent a truck or trailer from UHaul, they will receive the charge.

UHaul, then bills the renter, as stated and agreed in the rental contract addendum.

If the renter has a credit card, Uhaul will charge it, and if not, an email or text will be sent to the renter notifying them of the charge and advising them to pay at a reduced admin fee within 7 days of receiving the bill.

If somehow, renters refuse to pay, Uhaul will forward the bill to the toll collection agency to pursue payment or issue a penalty notice.
