I didnt go through any tolls in Chicago, the tolls in NY/NJ all billed to my Ezpass transponder, and some of the Miami area tolls billed to my Ezpass transponder. But the tolls on SR836 and SR874 all got billed to etoll even though I had my Ezpass transponder out for all of those tolls and the in-car Sunpass box was closed the whole time. I do not see those tolls showing up on my Ezpass account. So it seems that maybe for those two toll roads the system prefers to bill the license plate instead of to the Ezpass Transponder.
I wish Ezpass had a way to register rental car plates to your Ezpass tag for this sort of situation.
I have this same problem with Hertz because I have a spare New York tag I use for rentals. I also have a North Carolina tag but they prohibit moving tags between vehicles (and each tag must be registered to a vehicle). Thankfully I have not had any billing issues using my E-ZPass with an unregistered vehicle.
FWIW, I have a suction cup holder that has the Velcro on the other side for easy use in a rental. It looks something like this
