I don't know as I had not considered that previously. Some of the toll booths were exact change, no attendant there. Not sure if they offer receipts. One basket was obviously broken as there was a pile of coins in the basket. Threw in exact change and moved on. Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż

Note: there are some on-ramps and off-ramps on the Garden State Parkway which do not have staffed "receipt" lanes -- at least, not 24/7.

So, sorry, newbie question to this issue - I have an NC EZ PAss account and will be renting a car from Hertz at PHL and driving on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. If I take my transponder with me it will catch the tolls and I can ignore/decline any plate pass option? That's the gist of what I read on Auto Slash.

Yes. If there's a grey plastic transponder box on the windshield of your vehicle, make sure it is tightly closed and mount your personal transponder in a place where it can be read. My PA tolls posted to my NY E-Z Pass account about two calendar days after I passed through the toll readers.

I have reviewed your account and concluded my research. I was able to identify a discrepancy that indicates that the tolls reported against the vehicle are invalid.
I’m issuing you a full adjustment of $129.95. Please allow up to 5 business days for it to post back to the original payment method.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to respond to this email.
Thank you for contacting PlatePass®.

Hi
Not sure if your trip has concluded... if not, watch for the 'new' cars.. they don't have transponders and magically by reading the license plate Hertz charges you..
You have to let Hertz before you take the car out of the lot so that the back office can note it... that way, when / if they DO charge you, you can show your receipts or data from your EZ pass account and dispute it... On a trip last year, I informed the front desk because the car did not have a transponder. They did 'something'... I never got charged by Hertz, although I was traveling from NJ to NY to MA to NH to Maine and back...

As a data point supporting this, I've had issues with our California FasTrak being read until I moved it to a non-standard location. When it read, it appeared on our statement by transponder number only. But when it didn't read, then it showed up on the statement by license plate number (part of processing license plates is to see if that license plate is registered to a FasTrak account).
