In terms of paying the toll online in California, it really depends. On some of the ones in SoCal (261/241/73), if you go online with the plate info and had the rental Fastrak closed, you might be able to pay the right amount without surcharge within 48 hours and before it hits the rental agency. It is YMMV.

The good news is except for the bridges in NoCal, you should be able to avoid almost all toll roads in California so far because there are free lines right next to them. This is not true in some places of Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, etc.

Also, I found a few states do allow you to skip the rental car agency's toll system. This worked very well in New York.
Open Tolling/Cashless Tolls options for rentals to avoid extra daily service fees
