For those who do not have prepaid accounts, invoices are sent to the registered owner of the vehicle. In the case of rental cars, these invoices are sent to the rental car company.<\/p>\n

RiverLink charges rental car companies the same toll rates as all other drivers. However,\u00a0rental car companies may charge drivers additional fees that are not collected by RiverLink and are not part of toll charges.\u00a0<\/strong>To avoid higher rates and additional fees, some drivers use their own transponder in a rental vehicle, as described below. Another option is to use one of the\u00a0Non-Tolled Alternatives<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Check with your rental car company for its policy and options for paying tolls. Each company has its own policy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to Use Your Own Transponder in a Rental Vehicle<\/h2>\n

This option may help drivers renting a car save on tolls and avoid additional fees. Whether you use a transponder you already own or acquire a new transponder, keep these important steps in mind:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check with your rental car company\u00a0<\/strong>to ensure you can use your own transponder.<\/li>\n
  2. Properly install the transponder<\/strong>\u00a0in the rental vehicle. If the transponder is not properly installed, the rental car company will receive an invoice from RiverLink and the company may charge the driver added fees.\u00a0Transponder Mounting Instructions<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Add the rental vehicle to your RiverLink account<\/strong>. You\u2019ll need the following information: make, model, year, color and license plate number\/state.<\/li>\n
  4. If the rental vehicle already has a transponder installed, be sure to switch it off.<\/strong>\u00a0Use of multiple transponders may result in incorrect or double tolling charges.<\/li>\n
  5. When you return the rental vehicle, remove your transponder from the vehicle AND remove the vehicle information from your account.<\/strong>\u00a0Otherwise, tolls charged to that vehicle will be your responsibility as long as the vehicle is on your account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    RiverLink E-ZPass or Local Transponder<\/h4>\n

    The RiverLink system offers you two different transponders to choose from: the RiverLink local transponder and the RiverLink E-ZPass transponder. Keep in mind that the RiverLink E-ZPass transponder is transferable among vehicles registered to a single RiverLink account,\u00a0but<\/strong>\u00a0the RiverLink local transponder is destroyed and no longer usable when removed from the rental vehicle<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0Compare RiverLink Transponder Options<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

    RiverLink local and RiverLink E-ZPass transponders are mailed, free of charge, after you open a prepaid RiverLink account. You will pay the lower, transponder toll rate while waiting for your transponder to arrive, if the vehicle is registered to your account.\u00a0How to Get a RiverLink Transponder<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
