Rival Hertz is also said to be testing a toll paying device, the article said.

Highway operators say renters, emboldened by a sense of anonymity, are more likely to breeze through tolls without paying, according to the article. Highway officials hope electronic payments will cut down on the practice, in addition to speeding things up for drivers.
