E-ZPass On -The- Go

silly question but i am finding it hard to select the right EZ pass ..
i traveled to NY ,Vermont and New hampshire this summer noted they are getting rid of the pay tolls just ez pass now - problem is i spoke to someone at one of the stops on the interstate , i explained i had a truck and trailer and i purchased what they suggested .
when i go home i noted it was only for a vehicle not a vehicle and a trailer

i tried to sign up on line it is confusing what do i need to do to get a proper pass for a GMC pickup truck pulling a Jayco feather light two axle ( 4 tires)- this is 8 tires in total when i am traveling ..

do i need two passes one for when i am pulling my trailer and one for just when i travel without the trailer

these things should be sold at the Jayco dealerships would make things a lot easier..

I've pulled up and down the east coast using my PA EZ pass. Each state is slightly different in what they require. PA for example automatically calculates the truck and trailer. WV I've gone through the manned toll booths and asked the attendant if it charged for both and they have always said yes. Other than calling each state's office or visiting their website, I'm not sure how you can get the information you need.

I have an I-Pass for the IL Tollway and it is accepted in most other states with tolls. It's registered to our cars and our truck. I can move to what ever vehicle I'm using including rentals. When I tow through the tollway it automatically charges based on the axles. Some states discourage this type of use but from what I've read they all allow it but have slightly different rules around it. Do Google searches like "ez pass with trailer" to find the relevant FAQs.

Got my EZ pass through Illinois. Somebody on this site had done extensive research on all the states and Illinois had the best deal. I purchased from their web site, got it in a few days and returned it several months later when I was done with it. They returned the money left in my account and the fee they had charged me for the pass.

In Maine we only need one as the booths read the number of axles crossing. We have been to NY NJ IL PA DE etc and no one has screeched about the trailer not having its own Pass

Just be sure to move further west than TX and CO; they have toll roads.

We were driving our RV with a tow, stopped in Indiana and picked up an EZ-Pass. We purchased the EZ-pass at a Walgreens in Elkhart, IN, for $25.00. We went on line and registered the pass. We charged the pass with $85.00 and drove through IN, OH, PA, NY, MA, back to NY, NJ, PA, VA and even TX with no problems with the EZ-Pass. We had to pay for the RV and our tow. We did go through the $85.00 and we had to put another $25.00 just to cover us until we were out of toll road country. All and all, our tolls amounted to just over $80.00.

When we lived in NJ and towed our Hybrid TT, we had NJ EZ-Pass. The first time I towed the Hybrid I was on the Garden State Parkway. At the first toll plaza I came to, I saw signs saying if towing, use Cash lanes. So I did. the attendant told me I had EZ-Pass and waved me through. Always went through the EZ-Pass lanes after that. I never told EZ-Pass we were towing and never had a problem. I always checked the statement and we were always properly charged. Towed through NJ, PA, DE and MD.

I have to admit, I read on line that we needed two EZ-Passes, one for our Rig and one for the tow. I called EZ-Pass and was told no. Just go through the EZ-Pass lane, the system was set up to count the number of tires and we would be charged accordingly. I checked the charges and found no issues. As much as I hate paying tolls, this was very easy.

I have a PA EZ Pass for my expedition. When I am not towing the trailer, the correct tolls are charged. When I am hooked up to the trailer, again, the correct tolls are charged. Never had any issues. Seems the toll booths are smart enough to figure out whether you are towing the trailer or not..

I have three vehicles and two trailers. I have one PA Ezee pass that works for any vehicle and any combination of tow vehicle and trailer. You just have to list all the license plates numbers on the Ezee pass website. I've done this for over 15 years with no issues.

Do you have to list your trailer plates also? I've never added my trailers and it has worked so far.

We have used EZ pass in New Hampshire, Maine, Massachuetts and soon to be CT for years and have not had any issues with the truck and camper through the EZ pass lanes. the camper truck, suv and utility trailer are all registered with EZ pass through Massachuetts.

I am totally unfamiliar with PA turnpike law, but it must be similar to the ones we have in the Republic of Texas. I pull on tollways with and without a TT, and in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas (Texas Toll Tag, Oklahoma Pike Pass, Kansas Turnpike Pass) it works the same: Tag is electronically registered to your vehicle. The vehicle plate is on file to identify owner/driver. As you pass under the toll collection transmitter, a low res photograph of you and your vehicles front is captured and after counting axles a photo of the rear of the vehicle is captured. The account connected to the tag is billed the appropriate amount, and if you are lucky enough to have registered your tag with reciprocal agencies, a discount is applied.



Now, to answer the question regarding a TT: No, axle count should take care of it. To a point, if you put two toll passes on two vehicles that close you will most likely be billed for 4 axles twice. Cheers!
