West Virginia Toll Payment Options

Below are some options for paying tolls in West Virginia:

• NextPass Account: NextPass is a cashless toll payment option! Setup is swift and easy, and you pay as you go. Simply register your vehicle in the app or on our website, insert a payment method, and drive! You’ll never need a transponder or toll tag when driving with NextPass. You pay for tolls as you pass through them with your registered vehicle. No activation fees. No subscription. No minimum balance required. Please note: Drivers are responsible for removing their vehicle from any previous tolling accounts, like E-ZPass or other tolling agencies, in order for NextPass to work successfully.

How do I Pay Tolls for a Rental Car in West Virginia?

If you’re planning to drive a rental car in West Virginia, there are several ways to handle toll payments. With NextPass, we have you covered for tolls in your rental vehicle in West Virginia. Simply add the license plate number of your rental vehicle into the app, add your payment method, and set the dates of your rental car period. Your rental car will be covered for the dates you provide through the NextPass app. You can also use the E-ZPass, Pay-By-Plate, or Video Tolling system, which allows you to pay tolls online or invoiced through the mail using your vehicle’s license plate. 

Before you hit the road, it’s advisable to discuss toll payment options with your rental car provider. If you have your own toll payment solution, you might want to opt out of the rental company’s toll services, which could include additional fees. Some rental companies charge high administrative fees for processing tolls or for using their toll devices, even if you don’t end up driving on toll roads.
