Best toll pass to get?

nfougere · Nov 3, 2018

Any opinions on the best state or universal tolls pass deals? Which state might be best suited to setup an e-zpass? I'll be running a sprinter van expediting service mostly so midwest North, Michigan, Ohio to south, Tx, KY, IL I guess and at times through NC and SC also. Every state seems to have a deal or discounted prices. Maybe one pass that covers all states would help. Thanks

EZ Pass and I-Pass are interchangeable. So it doesn't matter. Neither will work yet in Florida (SunPass) or Texas (TXTAG) or Oklahoma or Kansas.

Best Pass gets you both types of transponders, and it's close to universal as is available right now.

North Carolina’s quick pass has a dual transponder that will work everywhere ezpass works and will work in Georgia and Florida.

Best Pass is not easy for an individual to get. They want hundreds to sign up for service, transponder, etc., Then hundreds more in escrow for usage.

That would suck, along with having to pay for tolls. I'm glad L1 pays for both.

So if you can’t get Best Pass, get the North Carolina Quick Pass?

I used to have 2 transponders, one Ipass from Illinois and one Sunpass from Florida. These 2 covered probably 98% of my tolls. On the occasional run through Oklahoma I would pay cash.

Now I use Bestpass provided by Load One.

I would think so, I don’t drive expedite anymore but I use quick pass, I live in Florida but do occasionally go up north and need an ezpass. Nice only needing one account.

And to make it even more confusing, some (but not all) toll roads in the Orlando area will accept ezpass.

Fortunately all of these different tolling systems will be interoperable with each other by 2016.

The last time i went through OK my best pass worked just fine. Wasn’t sure at first so i had money in hand when i entered the cash lane. Was surprised when booth operator told me it accepted my best pass. Good to know.

Took a while, but I finally got a run to North Carolina. I’m very happy that I waited and got the EZ Pass/Quick Pass there. With the exception of Oklahoma and Texas tolls, I’m set.

Does Texas have one universal toll?

I’d be willing to get another pass just to get through Austin. Oklahoma I don’t mind paying cash.
