That's why I'm having my own ez-pass and fastrak transponders and use them with rental cars. I'm not willing to pay the rip off prices that are charged by (all) rental car companies.
I am in agreement with you.. just a slight correction though.. they charge you $5 for upto 5 days only.. so the charge to use the toll service is max $25 and then the toll.. so if it's a week long rental, you still pay $25 only and not $ 35.. i know this coz i have a month long rental..
