Although it is not mandatory, it is highly recommended if your trip includes toll roads.
It is a device installed in the vehicle that allows automatic passage through tolls, without the need to stop for payment. Vehicles are often already equipped with this device, and you only need to request activation at the time of pick-up.
Important: if you do not rent or request activation of the device and still pass through tolls, the amounts may be charged later by the rental company, and may include administrative fees or additional charges.
When is it worth renting it?
Consider renting it if:
You will travel on toll roads.
You want more convenience during your trip.
You prefer to avoid queues or manual payments.
How to rent the toll device?
You can request the toll device directly at the rental company’s counter when picking up the vehicle.
In some cases, it is also possible to add this option during the booking process, in the “Add extras to your reservation” step on the website or app.
The availability of this option at the time of booking depends on the rental company, so it may not appear in all searches.
The service is provided by the rental company itself, which sets the prices according to its policy. The cost may vary depending on the region, the rental company, and the number of rental days.
What happens if I don’t rent it?
If you pass through tolls without the device or without paying correctly, you may receive:
Fines
Additional charges
Therefore, it is important to plan your route and inform the rental company if you intend to use toll roads.
