Thanks.... I will have checked in, but, you seem to have an altogether different traffic assessment to the poster above. Will the rush hour in HOU not be in its peak fase at around 8AM.... until when does it go on..??

Thanks,

Your Hertz rental car should come equipped with PlatePass, which will allow you to drive through the EZ Tag lanes, with your credit card billed after the fact. There is, however, a daily surcharge for using PlatePass. Personally, I tend to bring a handful of quarters for the toll road and pay as I go.
