Toll road pay by mail
The convenience of paying tolls by mail!
In the United States, many toll roads and bridges offer a "pay by mail" option for drivers who don't have an electronic toll collection device or prefer to pay by mail. Here's how it typically works:
- You receive a toll bill: After using a toll road or bridge, you'll receive a bill in the mail from the toll authority. The bill will include the toll amount, a payment due date, and instructions on how to pay.
- Pay by check or money order: You can pay the toll bill by check or money order, made payable to the toll authority. Be sure to include your bill stub or invoice number on the payment.
- Mail the payment: Send the payment to the address listed on the bill. Make sure to allow sufficient time for the payment to arrive before the due date to avoid late fees or penalties.
- Verify payment: Once you've mailed the payment, you can verify that it's been received by contacting the toll authority or checking their website.
Some benefits of paying tolls by mail include:
- Convenience: You don't need to worry about carrying cash or having an electronic toll collection device.
- Flexibility: You can pay at your own pace, without the need to stop at a toll booth or plaza.
- No late fees: If you're unable to pay the toll immediately, you can still pay by mail and avoid late fees.
However, keep in mind that paying by mail may take longer to process than other payment methods, such as online or electronic toll collection. Additionally, you may need to pay a convenience fee or late fee if you miss the payment deadline.
To find out if a specific toll road or bridge offers a pay by mail option, you can:
- Visit the toll authority's website.
- Contact the toll authority's customer service department.
- Check the bill or invoice you receive for payment instructions.
Remember to always keep your toll bills and receipts in a safe place, as you may need to provide proof of payment if you're stopped by law enforcement or need to dispute a toll charge.
