Golden Gate Bridge and Northern California Bay Area Toll Options

The Golden Gate Bridge does not have a toll plaza and does not accept cash.

 

What are my options for crossing the Golden Gate and Bay Area Bridges with my rental car?

 

Use Our TollPassTM Service

Simply proceed over the Golden Gate and Bay Area bridges. A picture of the license plate will be captured at the toll plaza and payment for your tolls will be made electronically. Your use of these bridges will automatically enroll you in our TollPass Service. Your credit card or debit card on file with the rental agreement will be charged for all tolls plus a TollPass Convenience Charge (TCC) of $4.95 per day with a rental max of $34.65. There is no TollPass Convenience Charge on rental days that you don’t use a toll road.

 

How can I avoid TollPassTM charges?

  • Golden Gate Bridge

To avoid our TollPass™ Convenience Charge simply pay for your toll BEFORE or within 48 hours AFTER you cross the Golden Gate Bridge southbound into San Francisco. You may make a one-time payment by going online at www. bayareafastrak.org or by calling (877) BAY-TOLL (229-8655). Make note of the license plate number and end date of your rental period. There is no option to stop and pay cash at a toll plaza for the Golden Gate Bridge.

  • All other Bay Area bridges

You may use your own personal transponder or account. Some transponder issuers may require you to register a rental vehicle and/or license plate with your account within a certain time-period prior to driving on toll roads. Contact your transponder issuer for details on how to use your personal transponder or account with your rental vehicle. If you do not register your vehicle if and as required by the transponder issuer, you will be automatically enrolled in the TollPass Service if you drive on a toll road and incur a toll.

 

What if I drive to Southern California?

Use our TollPass Service on the Toll Roads of Orange County. A picture of the license plate will be captured at the toll plaza and payment for your tolls will be made electronically. Your use of these roads will automatically enroll you in our TollPass Service. Your credit card or debit card on file with the rental agreement will be charged for all tolls plus a TollPass Convenience Charge (TCC) of $4.95 per day with a rental max of $34.65. There is no TollPass Convenience Charge on rental days that you don’t use a toll road.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

How are tolls billed to me?

If using the TollPass Service, all toll-related charges incurred during your rental period will be charged to the debit or credit card on file with your rental Contract once the toll data is received from the toll authority. Typically the toll data is received and toll-related charges will be billed within approximately 4-6 weeks. Renters who don’t have a credit or debit card on file will receive an invoice for all toll-related charges. Tolls incurred are billed at the higher of the applicable toll authority’s video toll rate, cash toll rate or highest undiscounted toll rate.

Additional Terms and Conditions*

The optional TollPass Service accepted by Renter provides for the daily rental of a toll collection transponder or, in some states, the use of a pre-installed device or video-monitored toll collection services.

In addition to the daily charge for the TollPass Service, Owner, its affiliate or a third party may separately charge Renter’s credit or debit card (or bill Renter, as applicable, for cash rentals or if no credit or debit card is on file) for each toll (or other charge) incurred using the transponder, pre-installed device or video monitored service during the Rental Period within the TollPass Service area at the higher of the applicable toll authority’s video toll rate, cash toll rate or highest undiscounted toll rate.

Renter expressly authorizes Owner or its affiliate to transfer to a third party Renter’s name, address, credit/debit card information, and other data necessary to enable the collection of all such amounts. No credit is provided for the days a rented transponder is not utilized if renting a transponder. TollPass Service has a limited service area; attempting to use the service outside the service area may subject the Renter and/or any AAD(s) to fines and penalties (please see Paragraph 3.c(3.) of the Additional Terms and Conditions of your rental Contract). A current listing of TollPass Service area covered roads is available upon request, at www.tollpassgo.com or (877) 765-5201.
