EZ Pass In Denver
There are a number of toll roads around Denver that require EZ Pass - there are no toll takers for cars that are not equipped. I am having trouble getting a straight answer about whether Thrifty cars have EZ Pass, and if so, is it available in all cars and how does it work. Any information or advice would be very helpful. Thanks

CO uses EZ pass or license plate toll. It makes no difference whether you have an EZ pass or not, rental or not. The rental company will send you the bill a few weeks later regardless. Only advantage if the car has the EZ pass is you save a dollar or something each time.

My (probably faulty) recollection is that Thrifty's DEN location has a display about the pass on the counter, they ask during the rental signing if you will need it and, if you do, I think it is an extra-cost option. (I'm not 100% sure about it being an extra cost because I've never needed it during one of my DEN rentals.)

I think, though, that it was a flat fee regardless of usage, unlike the toll transponders available for rent in the Northeast states.
