Rental agencies should establish rental accounts through the customer service center. Rental agencies will receive a monthly statement of toll charges detailing the tolling activities of their rental vehicles. The statement will include toll charge, time, date, location and amount due. The rental agency may elect to pay WSDOT directly for the tolls and seek reimbursement from the renter or they may provide WSDOT with the information regarding the renter and rental vehicle as required under RCW
46.63.160(10) within thirty days of the notice mailing. WSDOT may then issue a toll bill to the renter. If the rental agency fails to timely provide the requested information it may be held liable for the toll charges. To facilitate toll operations and collections, the department may use and allow various processes for toll transactions associated with rental agency vehicles.
