Jackal thanks for the expensive write-up (and to the rest of you chiming in with great info.) I appreciate it! I'm going to make some calls today and see where I get. I will post back with anything I find out so that others who find themselves in this unfortunate situation might be able to benefit from my findings. I think l will try Hertz, the toll authority, and maybe Amex to see if there's anything they can do to help (don't ask, don't receive, right?) Thanks again, all.
