The short answer
This charge comes from the Highway Toll Administration (HTA), a third-party processor that handles electronic toll collections for major car rental agencies. It represents tolls you drove through while renting a vehicle.
Understanding the HTA Toll Charge
Rental car agencies contract with HTA to manage cashless toll payments. When you drive a rental car through an electronic toll point without paying cash, HTA receives the bill based on the vehicle's license plate or transponder.
The charge includes the cost of the tolls plus a daily convenience fee. Because toll authorities process these transactions slowly, HTA typically bills your credit card several weeks after you have returned the rental car.
- Review your rental contract for terms related to electronic tolling and associated convenience fees.
- Use the HTA online portal to look up your receipt using your rental agreement number and last name.
- Verify that the dates and locations of the tolls match your travel history.
Why didn't this show up on my final rental receipt?
Rental companies must wait for toll data from local authorities, which can take weeks to arrive after your rental period has concluded.
I had my own transponder, why was I charged?
If your personal transponder wasn't read correctly, the rental car's plate was captured instead. You can dispute this by providing HTA with proof of payment from your personal toll account.
