I know before congestion pricing, city people often did the reverse, especially with corporate codes- pick up the car in the suburbs, one-way it home.
Tolls & such have always been the responsibility of the renter. In London the congestion charge is handled this way. I would not expect any US rental agency to simply eat the cost. Instead, they'll offer to handle it for you and if you take them up on that fine offer there will be a convenience charge f some kind.
