Why can't they implement this borrowed/rented car feature on the EZ Pass website?!
I raised these points with the MTA and to their credit, received the following just a few hours later:
Hello FH,
You are correct. Currently, borrowed or rented vehicles will be tolled the Tolls by Mail rate if you go to the TbM website (
Tolls by Mail) and use the Pay Toll Now function, but we are actively working to make changes to the system so the E-ZPass rate will be tolled instead.
Best regards,
