Yours fits the definition of highway robbery. Funny how no PlatePass invoice is provided. I'm trying to pull one from their website for the first time but the system can't find it. I'll try again later.
I've been to Dallas a few times, each for 3-4 day Hz rentals, and the PlatePass charges ranged from $25-$35. The only time I'll skip a toll road is if my destination is only a couple miles away.
PlatePass/Hz has been sued in the past (there's at least one active lawsuit now) and it seems they haven't learned their lesson. Guess even after paying out class-action lawsuits, both companies are still netting a handsome profit, and Hz could use it with their stock price and overall outlook in the crapper.
