I'm moving from Phoenix to Dallas, and in Dallas I've noticed there are a lot of toll roads. We don't have those here in Phoenix, so I'm wondering how the reimbursement works.

Where do I get the E-Pass to automatically move through? How much is it? It looks like there are a couple different types of passes in Texas, the TxTag and another type of toll pass. Which one is the cheapest?

I searched the forums, and most people were concerned with reimbursement. I couldn't find anything on the actual process of getting a Toll Pass.

Thank you!

Just run them without paying. After you rack up a huge scofflaw unpaid bill they'll come tow your car. You can pay then.

Lol. Uberdummy is correct. However it would be simpler to visit an NTTA office, of which there are many. They will give you a windshield decal connecting your vehicle to your credit card. I think they charge you 20.00 per vehicle upfront, which is used to pay your occurring charges. When you get close to a 5.00 balance the cycle repeats itself. I only drive Lyft, and they are pretty good about the fees, but not so good that I don’t double check, especially the Texpress lanes. Good luck.

Oldtimers like me that have had a "Tolltag" since the opening of the North Dallas Tollway aren't charged until $40.00 in tolls are accrued. The billing cycle is repeated again after the next $40.00 in tolls are accrued.

When you balance hits $10 is when they ding you for another $40.

Here is how reimbursements work:

1. Get the toll tag
2. Drive around for Uber
3. Take tolls roads and Express lanes (there is a difference) if it's gonna save you time or the rider is hell bent on a specific route
4. Take mental note of the tolls being charged
5. End trip and verify if tolls were added to the trip (see #4)
6. If tolls are not added or incorrect (Express lanes are never automatically added since they are dynamic - See #4 again), send a ticket into Uber
7. Open trip, help, issue with fare, issue with toll
8. Add $1 Surcharge to all toll reimbursements (I call this the having to deal with support fee)

Take off ur plate & use a phony paper tag. It's not like cops will run ur plate in dallas traffic.

Avoid collin county though, 3 tollways 1 freeway, cops everywhere.
