Frequently Asked Questions About Toll Roads in Alabama
Reducing Alabama toll road costs takes strategy and information. Here are frequently asked questions and answers to help you make sound decisions about the best toll payment and management solutions for your fleet.
1. How Can You Pay for Toll Roads in Alabama?
Your truck or service vehicle fleet can pay Alabama tolls using a compatible pass or cash. The Beach Express also offers toll-plate payments where you receive an invoice by mail. The Montgomery Expressway accepts credit card payments.
Commercial companies can leverage transponder-based systems to pay with Bestpass software.
2. How Much Do Toll Roads in Alabama Cost?
Alabama toll costs depend on how many axles your fleet vehicle or truck has. Commercial vehicles can expect to pay:
- $3 for two axles
- $3.50 for three axles
- $4 for four axles
- $4 plus $0.50 for each axle over four
These rates can change depending on the method you use to pay.
3. Where are Toll Roads Located in Alabama?
There are four toll bridges in Alabama
- Tuscaloosa By-Pass (Tuscaloosa, AL)
- Montgomery Expressway (Millbrook, AL)
- Emerald Mountain Expressway (Wetumpka, AL)
4. Does Alabama Take E-ZPass?
No. Alabama does not support E-ZPass. It is not integrated into the E-ZPass system, meaning E-ZPass transponders are not compatible in Alabama. To pay tolls in Alabama, you can use cash or a Freedom Pass card.
If you're an owner-operator or commercial fleet manager traveling in Alabama and California, the Horizon Voyager is the best transponder option for your needs.
5. What Happens if You Fail to Pay Alabama Toll Fees?
If you are leveraging a generic Alabama toll road pass system and your funds are insufficient when going through a toll gantry, you will receive an invoice via mail. This invoice will have the toll amount plus administrative fees tacked on. If you fail to pay your toll fees, you will incur fines, and your vehicle’s registration may be suspended.
The Bestpass system is unique. Our team manages your systems and devices so your transponders won’t run out of funds. You can also track your fleet's individual vehicles to see device status and prepaid amount, offering complete transparency.
6. Is Using an Alabama Toll Pass More Cost-Effective?
Leveraging the Bestpass system is more affordable than using toll-by-plate methods or cash. We access discounted prices for commercial clients.
7. Can Your Truck or Service Fleet Company Put Plates on File?
Your truck and service fleet company cannot put plates on file with tolling authorities. You can partner with Bestpass to benefit from plate-on-file functionality. We have the authorization to place plates on file, so if the toll gantry misreads your transponder device or pass, we’ll have your plates on file to process toll fees — saving you violation costs and admin.
