They do. Go to
www.407etr.com, set up an account, and register the plate number. Then when there's a charge, it'll go straight to your account and you can pay it directly. It's the same price, but at least the rental car agency isn't tacking on nuisance fees.
I have a New York plate and in my experience, about one time out of 5 they don't bill me, presumably because the plate read failed. Rumor says that if you have Vermont plates you travel for free because Vermont, having no toll facilities of their own, declines to cooperate with out of state toll collectors so they can't get the billing info.
