Paying for toll roads in
California
is as easy as anywhere else in the country, giving you multiple options to settle your fee. To pay for toll roads in California, here are your options:
  • Pay with cash or card. This isn’t available at every toll, but don’t stress if you come across a 100%-electronic toll road.
  • If you go on a toll road or toll bridge without a booth, you’ll see cameras. These take a picture of your plate and send you a bill to the address associated with your license plate and registration.
  • If you know someone who lives in California or someone you’re going to visit, ask them to add you to their Fastrak pass. This pass uses an electronic sensor that allows you to go through tolls without slowing down or stopping at a booth.
