Can You Dispute ERAC Toll Charges?

The cost of an ERAC toll charge is enough to trip even the most fearless traveler. While the Enterprise Rent-A-Car uses TollPass service to help you pay toll charges, you'll pay an arm and a leg for convenience.

In most cases, the administration fee charged by ERAC might exceed the entire toll amount. Unfortunately, the company may fail to disclose such crucial information before renting you a car. Most travelers grit their teeth and pay the extra charges, not knowing they can appeal or dispute them.

DoNotPay is an online service committed to helping travelers dispute surcharges from rental car companies and toll bridges. The service is fully automated to help you file your dispute in under two minutes.

How Does ERAC Toll Work?

Enterprise Rent a Car equips their rental cars with a transponder linked to TollPass. The pass allows you to pay toll charges automatically when traveling through seven states in the USA:

• Florida
• Colorado
• Texas
• Georgia
• North Carolina
• Puerto Rico
• Washington State

When you drive on a toll road in these states, the toll plaza captures the rental car's license plate and automatically bills your account. Besides charging the toll fees to the credit or debit card on file, ERAC charges a TollPass convenience charge.

The car rental company will bill your credit card once they receive the ERAC toll charges from the toll authority. Sometimes that could take between 4 to 6 weeks.

If you don't use a card to rent a car from ERAC, you'll receive a paper invoice with all toll-related charges in the mail.

How Much Are ERAC Toll Charges?

ERAC Toll Pass convenience charges range from $3.95 to $4.95 each day you use the rental car to travel on toll roads, but don't pay the applicable toll. The TollPass surcharge is capped at $30 per rental period.

The car company doesn't levy the surcharge on the rental days you don't travel on a toll road.

You can avoid the TollPass Convenience Charge by:

• Paying toll fees in cash
• Traveling on toll-free roads and bridges
• Traveling with your transponder

How to Pay ERAC Toll Charges

ERAC allows you to pay toll charges later when using their rental cars to travel on toll roads and bridges. However, the company will charge a premium for this convenience. You have several options when paying an ERAC toll charge.

What Happens if You Don't Pay ERAC Toll Charges?

Failing to pay ERAC toll charges leads to significant financial trouble. Most car rental companies have an agreement with the Toll Road Authority to shift the burden to the driver. ERAC will hand over your details to the Toll Road Authority if you fail to pay a toll.

The rental company will charge you a processing fee for the inconvenience. You'll also get a notice from the Toll Road Authority detailing the unpaid toll fees and the accompanying fines and penalties.

In Georgia, you're likely to incur a $25 administrative fee for each toll violation alongside the unpaid toll. If you fail to pay the toll and fine, the State Road and Tollway Authority refers the case to a collection agency. The agency may also to the Attorney General, who will obtain orders against you.

ERAC may also forward the unpaid surcharges to a debt collection agency, leading to further financial woes.
