✅ 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
✔ Mount the transponder on the windshield as you would in your personal vehicle.
✔ Check with your toll provider to see if any vehicle updates are needed.
✔ Use a pay-by-plate system if needed (some U-Haul trucks may not work with all transponders).
📌 Tip: If using E-ZPass, SunPass, FasTrak, or other toll systems, log in to your account and add the U-Haul’s license plate temporarily to avoid toll violations.
2. Will the Toll System Charge Me Correctly?
🚚 Toll roads charge U-Haul trucks differently than regular cars.
📌 Tip: Some toll systems classify rental trucks differently, leading to higher toll rates than personal vehicles.
3. What If My Transponder Doesn’t Work?
✔ U-Haul trucks are often equipped with built-in toll billing systems.
✔ If your transponder fails, tolls may be charged by plate and billed later.
✔ If unsure, pay cash at toll booths (if available) to avoid billing surprises.
📌 Tip: Always check your toll account after the trip to ensure correct charges.

Final Thoughts
You can use your toll transponder in a U-Haul, but make sure to mount it correctly and update your toll account with the U-Haul’s license plate if required. If your transponder doesn’t work, be prepared for toll-by-plate charges or pay manually at toll booths when possible. 🚛✅
