I had to reverse and pay with card instead.
I logged into my Sunpass account and no transactions have been recorded. Not sure why, maybe the Sunpass Pro transponder I bought is faulty. Or maybe it takes a nightly run from Sunpass to EZ-pass to update plates?
I any case, I risk getting charged through the nose by Hertz when they get the bills for the E-Z tolls I drove past without a functioning E-Z pass. What "administration fee" do they charge for that?
From what I've read, EZ pass in MA allows (and asks) that the registration number of the rental vehicle is substituted for your vehicle's info, so that all bills can be routed to you (and not the rental car company).
Does SunPass pro offer this feature? worth looking into, even if its for another / next time...
