What happens if I don't have enough funds in my E-ZPass account?

When there are insufficient funds in an E-ZPass account during a toll transaction, the system typically will trigger an alert or warning at the toll booth. In some cases, the vehicle may be allowed to pass through the toll without immediate payment, but the account holder will be notified that their balance is low or negative, potentially leading to deferred payment options or additional charges. For future toll transactions, it is important to maintain a positive balance in the account to ensure seamless travel. If the account balance falls below a certain threshold, the system may impose administrative fees or even suspend the account until sufficient funds are replenished. Apart from the inconvenience, this may also lead to accumulation of fees for repeated insufficient fund occurrences. It is advisable for E-ZPass users to regularly check their account balance and set up alerts for low balance situations. Also, one can visit the official E-ZPass Delaware webpage to understand more about balance management options or to find contact information if assistance is needed. Keeping the account funded will help avoid these potential issues while driving on toll roads.
