NY has EZ-Pass will issue multiple boxes on one account and issue to out of state users. I may have paid for each unit, been to long, but there is no monthly fee and they put $25 in the shared account from your CC. When it gets below $10 they put in another $25, so worse case you have $34.99 in the account doing nothing. They send you an eMail each month if there has been activity telling you to log in for your statement listing all the tolls. You can register more plates than you have boxes and move them around if you want.
After moving out of NY it was 2 years before it was used again and I was nervous if it still worked, but it did.
We also skip interstates in general when we are on vacation or not in a hurry. We also skip the OH Turnpike if we are pulling a trailer, the extra charge gets it up to about a dollar a mile and with the construction that is usually going on you can go faster on state roads.
Coming out of SE Michigan where I live and going to relatives in Illinois, it's far easier for us to run south to the OTPK and west to the Indiana Roll road to Lake Station and into Illinois than run the 2 lanes. 2 lanes might be more scenic but time wise, hard to beat the toll road, even with construction under way.
