Imposes certain requirements on motor vehicle rental companies that equip vehicles with electronic toll transponders.
This bill requires New Jersey rental car companies to allow renters to opt out of using the company’s electronic toll devices (like E-ZPass) or use their own device. If renters opt out and drive through tolls without cash payment options, companies may charge a fee up to $5 (capped at three times the actual toll cost), but no additional fees. Companies must clearly disclose all toll-related terms and fees in rental agreements and on-site, and obtain written consent for using their devices. Violations are treated as consumer fraud under New Jersey law, potentially resulting in fines up to $20,000.
