How do I switch from using my E-ZPass to using NextPass for my toll payments?

To switch from using E-ZPass to NextPass for your toll payments, follow these steps:

1. Download the NextPass app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, or sign up on the NextPass website.

2. Set up your NextPass account by entering your email address, vehicle information (license plate number and state), and a valid payment method.

3. Wait for your vehicle to be activated in the NextPass system. This typically takes only a few seconds. You’ll see an “Active” status displayed on your vehicle’s detail page in the app.

4. Cancel your E-ZPass account or remove the vehicle from your E-ZPass account to avoid potential double charges.

5. Remove your E-ZPass transponder from your vehicle. This is crucial, as NextPass won’t work properly if there’s an existing transponder in the vehicle, even if it’s in the glove compartment or trunk.

6. Start using NextPass for your toll payments. As you drive through free-flowing toll lanes, the tolling agency will capture an image of your license plate, and NextPass will process the payment automatically.

Remember, NextPass is designed for use on free-flowing toll roads and doesn’t work with gated toll booths. Also, be aware that toll charges may take up to 30 days to appear on your NextPass account after your trip, but most appear within 24 hours.

By switching to NextPass, you’ll enjoy benefits such as no prepayments, no monthly subscriptions, and the ability to manage multiple vehicles without the need for physical toll tags/transponders.
