If you have a rental car, you can inquire about getting one with an EZ Pass. That makes things convenient as you won't need cash and EZ Pass lanes are typically faster to go through.

The downside is that the rental companies add a surcharge for every day of your rental if you use it at least once. From the Hertz website: "If you use PlatePass®, you will be charged a $4.95 service fee for each day of the rental including any days on which PlatePass® is not used, up to a maximum of $24.75 per rental, plus incurred tolls at the Toll Authority's cash toll rate or highest undiscounted toll rate. " That's a total ripoff, but you pay for convenience.

Another nice thing about using EZ Pass is that there are exits that are EZ Pass only (don't take cash at all). Could be more convenient depending on where you are going. I'm not sure if those exist on the AC Expressway (which I'm guessing is the route you'll be taking) but it does seem likely.
