Hello, we are first time RV'ers doing a long distance trip to the coast of Maine from Wisconsin. We have been out locally in our 38ft. class A RV but never cross country. Our question concerns the Tollways we will encounter. What is the average cost of a toll and do they count the axles on a dingy? Is there a way to find out the cost of each toll? Thank you for your assist! Tom and Malia Virant in "The Spruce Goose".
Where are you going on the coast of Maine? I have been all the way to Eastport.
I read all the 2 pages of answers so far. Most of them apparently have never talked to the EZ-Pass people. What route are you planning on Picking up I-90 East?
My story is we are in Maine New England quite often but live in Texas. I was going to get a E-ZPass on line but forgot and didn’t have time to have it mailed to me before I left. On this trip we spent some time in DC before heading North. Well There is one truism in travel in the North East. NEVER cross the George Washington Bridge. The toll (coach and toad) was $76.00 Cash only. Well this got me motivated to go do a walk in in New Hampshire to get a tag. I still don’t know what it would be with a E-ZPass as I refuse to go over it again. Came back down over the Tappan Z and there was no toll going South.
Ok back to your problem. You can get a E-ZPass on line or you can do a walk in at a facility in Illinois when you get there or the first walk in you come to.
I was told when I got the transponder for the toad to keep it in it’s shielded envelope when the toad is hooked to the coach. I get a lower toll rate. I believe it is charged like a trailer. That is about 5o% of the toll if you drove the dinghy separately. https://www.ezpassnh.com/facilities/illinois
I have never looked up what the tolls are but you might start hear. https://www.ezpassmd.com/en/about/facilities.shtml
One good thing when I walked in I got a individual account instead of a commercial account they wanted me to get. I don’t know but think it saved some money.
Any questions just ask.
