- Signage on the roadway informs travelers a higher rate will be charged for larger vehicles. Larger rides like box trucks can weigh a lot more than regular passenger vehicles. Those extra pounds do more damage to the road that we maintain. To help make sure we can continue to give all our customers a great travel experience, we charge larger vehicles a different rate. The vast majority of customers drive personal passenger vehicles that are under 7 feet and pay the standard toll.
RENTAL VEHICLE -Try contacting the rental car company for more info. Sometimes they add charges for E-Z Pass trips or unpaid tolls to your bill.
(If they say there wasn’t an E-Z Pass mounted, say the following: ) -The license plate may be associated with the rental company’s E-Z Pass account. Again, I think it’s a good idea for you to reach out to the rental car company.

For this one you can actually send us your rental agreement that indicates you're not the the one using the vehicle during the trip so that we can dispute the charge on your EZ Pass. (customercare@expresslanes.com) ===================================================== ****************** MEDIUM VEHICLE ******************
-
As per checking here in our system the reason why you have been charged (medium vehicle) is that during the time of the trip you actually exceeded the maximum height required to the express lanes which is 7ft and all over 7ft vehicle is considered as a medium vehicle and it will be charge 3 times higher from the basic toll fee rate.
but I can't assure you that we are able to waived the fee since we will gonna check here first in our system
SPIEL:
- As a courtesy, I can reduce the amount of the tolls down to the standard rate of $XX.XX. And as part of our FTF Program, I can remove the admin fee on your invoice, bringing your balance down to $XX.XX
IF THE CUSTOMER WANTS MORE EXPLANATION:
- Those larger rides, like box trucks, can weigh a lot more than a regular passenger vehicles and do more damage to the road that we maintain. Nearly all personal passenger vehicles are under 7ft tall and pay the standard toll.
**To provide a smooth driving experience, the 3x rate applies to vehicles taller than 7 feet in height. This includes most tall passenger vans, commercial vans, 2-axle large box trucks, and flatbed trucks on the 495, 95 and 395 Express Lanes.
