For example, at the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, the toll is $4.80 with an E-Z Pass, and $6.50 without. Do not let the driver hit you up for the higher cash toll unless the toll was, in fact, paid in cash.
Which means do not let the driver charge you the higher toll at all. NY taxis are obliged to use an E-Z Pass.
