When driving a U-Haul truck or trailer, tolls are a common part of the journey. Here’s how tolls work with U-Haul rentals and how you can handle them during your move.
1. Tolls for U-Haul Vehicles
✔ Toll Roads, Bridges, and Tunnels – U-Haul vehicles are subject to tolls on highways, bridges, and tunnels where applicable.
✔ Toll Booth Payments – You’ll need to pay at the booth or use an electronic toll pass for most toll roads.
✔ Toll Charges – U-Haul rentals are charged the same toll fees as other vehicles, but some fees may vary based on vehicle weight and size.
📌 Tip: The toll amount depends on the type of U-Haul and the route taken.
2. Electronic Toll Devices (Toll Passes)
How U-Haul Handles Tolls
✔ With Toll Pass Devices – U-Haul does not automatically provide a toll pass for rentals, but some locations offer the option to rent a TollPass for convenience.
✔ Rent a Toll Pass – If you plan to use toll roads frequently, you can rent a TollPass device when picking up your truck. This device allows you to drive through toll lanes without stopping.
✔ Toll Pass Fees – Rental locations may charge a daily fee in addition to the tolls.
📌 Tip: Check with the U-Haul rental location to see if they offer a TollPass rental.
3. Paying Tolls at the Booth
If you don’t have a toll pass, you can pay cash or credit card at the toll booths.
✔ Truck-Specific Toll Rates – U-Haul trucks, especially larger trucks (e.g., 15 ft or 26 ft), may face higher toll fees than standard vehicles.
✔ Keep Track of Tolls – Note toll amounts for expense tracking or reimbursement, as tolls are charged per section of road or bridge.
📌 Tip: Keep cash or a credit card ready for toll payments, especially in areas without toll passes.
4. Tolls for U-Haul Trailers
✔ Separate Charges – If you’re towing a U-Haul trailer, it may be subject to additional toll charges based on weight and length.
✔ Larger Trailers – Longer or heavier trailers may be subject to higher toll rates compared to a basic cargo trailer.
📌 Tip: Check toll rates for trailers before traveling through high-cost toll areas.
5. How to Avoid Tolls with U-Haul
✔ Use Alternative Routes – Avoid toll roads by using free routes.
✔ GPS & Apps – Use Google Maps, Waze, or U-Haul’s suggested routes to help plan your trip around tolls.
📌 Tip: Be mindful of local toll laws and consider avoiding tolls if they are too costly for your route.
