β Yes, you can use your transponder in a U-Haul, but you need to properly mount it and ensure that the toll system recognizes the temporary vehicle change. U-Haul trucks and rental vehicles are larger and classified differently, which can affect toll charges.
1. How to Use Your Transponder in a U-Haul
β Mount the transponder on the windshield as you would in your personal vehicle.
β Check with your toll provider to see if any vehicle updates are needed.
β Use a pay-by-plate system if needed (some U-Haul trucks may not work with all transponders).
π Tip: If using E-ZPass, SunPass, FasTrak, or other toll systems, log in to your account and add the U-Haulβs license plate temporarily to avoid toll violations.
2. Will the Toll System Charge Me Correctly?
π Toll roads charge U-Haul trucks differently than regular cars.
π Tip: Some toll systems classify rental trucks differently, leading to higher toll rates than personal vehicles.
3. What If My Transponder Doesnβt Work?
β U-Haul trucks are often equipped with built-in toll billing systems.
β If your transponder fails, tolls may be charged by plate and billed later.
β If unsure, pay cash at toll booths (if available) to avoid billing surprises.
π Tip: Always check your toll account after the trip to ensure correct charges.
