How to pay toll by mail

Paying tolls by mail is a convenient option if you don't have a transponder or prefer not to use one. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to pay tolls by mail:

Gather the necessary information:

  1. Toll receipt: Keep the toll receipt you received when you passed through the toll booth. It should have the date, time, location, and amount of the toll.
  2. Vehicle information: Make sure you have the following information:
    • Vehicle make and model
    • License plate number
    • Vehicle color
  3. Payment method: Decide how you want to pay the toll. You can pay by check, money order, or credit card.

Send the payment:

  1. Fill out the payment form: If you received a payment form with your toll receipt, fill it out completely. If not, you can usually find a payment form on the toll authority's website or by contacting their customer service.
  2. Include the toll receipt: Attach the toll receipt to the payment form.
  3. Mail the payment: Send the payment form and toll receipt to the address listed on the form or on the toll authority's website.

Payment options:

  1. Check or money order: Make your payment by check or money order payable to the toll authority. Be sure to include your vehicle information and the toll amount on the check or money order.
  2. Credit card: Some toll authorities accept credit card payments by mail. Check their website or contact their customer service to see if this option is available.

Tips:

  1. Keep a record: Keep a record of your payment, including the date you sent it and the amount paid.
  2. Allow time for processing: It may take a few weeks for the toll authority to process your payment, so plan accordingly.
  3. Check for late fees: If you don't pay your toll by the due date, you may be charged a late fee.
