Pay by mail tolls

The convenience of paying tolls by mail! Here's a rundown of how it typically works:

What is pay by mail tolling?

Pay by mail tolling, also known as "toll by mail" or "cashless tolling," is a system where you pay your tolls after the fact, rather than using a toll pass or paying in person at a toll booth. You receive a bill in the mail for the tolls you've incurred, and you can pay them online, by phone, or by mail.

How does it work?

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Take a toll road: You drive on a toll road or bridge, and the toll is automatically detected using cameras or sensors.
  2. Receive a bill: A few weeks later, you receive a bill in the mail from the toll authority, detailing the tolls you've incurred.
  3. Pay the bill: You can pay the bill online, by phone, or by mail using a credit card, check, or other accepted payment methods.
  4. Verify your payment: Once you've paid, you'll receive a confirmation number or a receipt to verify that your payment has been processed.

Benefits of pay by mail tolling

  1. Convenience: You don't need to worry about carrying cash or a toll pass.
  2. No need to stop: You don't need to stop at a toll booth or slow down to pay your toll.
  3. Easy to manage: You can pay your tolls at your convenience, rather than having to stop and pay immediately.

Tips and considerations

  1. Keep your receipts: Keep your toll bills and receipts in case you need to verify your payments or dispute any errors.
  2. Check for errors: Review your bill carefully to ensure that the tolls are accurate and that you're not being charged for any errors.
  3. Pay on time: Make sure to pay your tolls on time to avoid late fees and penalties.
  4. Check with your insurance: Some insurance companies may offer discounts for drivers who use pay by mail tolling.
