Toll Trolls: Drivers Take Risks to Dodge Tollbooths

Published:

2. Offending Rental Car Companies

Enterprise Logo-01

Enterprise Rent-A-Car (which also operates Alamo Rent-A-Car & National Car Rental) is the most notorious company when it comes to dodging tolls. Rental car drivers amassed $166,924 in unpaid tolls, which ended up being $1,783,288 after adding in the fines. Enterprise has made an effort to get a handle on the issue by notifying local governments and encouraging them to work with their information processing center to properly route the fines. However, this will never completely fix the problem – as many states and countries hold rental car companies responsible for such fines. All Enterprise can truly do to combat the issue is to include fees to cover dodged tolls in their rental agreements.

Salem Truck Leasing, Inc. is also a known offender. Their renters racked up $104,336 in tolls, and $227,004 in fines. Intek Autoleasing, Inc. – known for leasing limousines was found to have skipped $77,953 in tolls and accumulated a total of $83,750 with fines.
