It's also worth noting that if you pass an EZ Pass etoll crossing in New York labeled "Tolls by Mail" (which are extremely common these days), you can pay online to avoid the service fees levied by the rental company. Just be sure to keep the EZ Pass transponder box closed and then within a couple of days, go to:

Then enter your start date, end date, vehicle license plate info as well as your contact info and credit card. They will bill you within 7 days.
