Does anyone know what actually happens if you go through a "transponder
only"
toll station in a rental car without a transponder?

On a recent vacation in CA, I found myself approaching the Golden Gate
Bridge
in an Enterprise rental. There are no toll collectors on this bridge, only
transponder lanes.

After I got home, I read the rules found here but I was already well beyond
the "pay within 48 hours" time frame.

I'm considering calling Enterprise discuss this, even though I am well
beyond the mailing of the violation letter that I assume went to
Enterprise.
I just figured I'd run the question by the ng first to see if anyone has
some
real life experience/advice for this type of situation.

Thanks.


They will have a picture of the car's license plate and send the fine to
Enterprise. I'd only be concerned if they want you to pay it.
I got stuck in one of these lanes, was ill at the time, got request for
$1 + $25 fine. Paid the dollar but they would not accept my excuse
until I sent them a photo of the new zipper on my chest needed to cure
the problem. You also have an excellent excuse if it comes to that.

There's no fine associated with crossing the bridge, only a toll.

Sure there is.

From: http://www.goldengate.org/tolls/toll...php#paybyplate

"Any unpaid Toll Invoice or unpaid portion of a Toll Invoice leads directly
to a Toll Violation notice which attaches a $25 penalty for each toll
transaction associated with the unpaid Toll Invoice. If the first Toll
Violation notice goes unpaid, a second Toll Violation notice is issued (with
increased penalties) and if it goes unpaid, the amount due is referred to the
DMV who will withhold your vehicle registration until the penalties are paid.
For out-of-state vehicles, the matter is referred to a collections agency."
