I agree it is not the cheapest, but it is the easiest – calling it a “terrible” mistake may be a bit much really – it cost be $6 but meant I did not need to find the tollpass machine in the airport or provide card details to another entity.

It’s not just $6, it’s $6 per day that you incurr a toll and a the highest toll rate for each occasion. Utter ripoff with Hertz.

The tollpass gets you the max discount on the tolls and it’s free.

Agree it’s convenience but convenience costs money.

Lot of good info here so people can choose for themselves. Given the current rental rates and petrol (gas) prices for me I’m not going to sweat a $6 + toll daily fee. It does seem from my experience and others they do now only charge this fee on the day you use the tolls, if they charged it for every rental day I’d have a rethink.
In terms of gas prices in California in April the cheapest (does anyone put high octane in a rental?) was between $5.2 and $6.2/gallon, with the typical around $6.
