The fees for using Payless e-Toll electronic transponders include a one-time device fee and toll charges with a monthly administrative fee.

## Detailed answer

When renting a vehicle from the SeaTac Rental Car Facility and using Payless e-Toll electronic transponders for toll roads around the greater Seattle metropolitan area, you can expect the following fees: a one-time device fee of $5, toll charges that vary depending on the toll road used (for example, the SR 167 Tacoma-to-Puyallup Freeway toll road charges between $0.50 and $2.50 per trip, depending on the time of day and the number of axles on your vehicle), and a monthly administrative fee of $3.95 if you incur tolls. The total cost will be billed to your rental car account. For instance, if you travel on SR 167 during peak hours with a standard vehicle, you will be charged $2.50 per trip. It's also worth noting that some toll roads, like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, charge $5.50 per crossing for a 2-axle vehicle. Payless e-Toll services simplify the process by automatically deducting tolls, eliminating the need for cash or stopping at toll booths.
