The pilot program, introduced this month at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, uses the E-ZPass electronic toll payment system.

It will soon be offered at other National locations, the company says. Plans call for it to be expanded to National's sister company, Alamo Rent A Car, and it will be offered in Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

Renters can choose to use the Toll Pass option by adding a per-day fee, plus the cost of tolls, to their rental agreement. After completion of the rental, they will be charged separately for any tolls they incur.--Nina M. Lentini
