By the way, as far as I can tell from the E-470 web site, the tolls should have been $6.50 but it's a bit late to quibble over that.

Now, 4 odd months later, I got a credit card charge from Budget for $2.50 in tolls. I haven't rented a car with Budget since then (and, in fact, for other reasons am unlikely to do so). I'm taking this up with my credit card company, but I'm wondering if anybody else has had this happen.
The toll transponders are managed by the NTA or some private firm. They are big crooks. They will charge you anything they want. Till todate I have not been able to calculate how they come to those amounts. I just dispute them with my CC company and they take care of it.
