General Information

E-ZPass Notice Period & Conditions

Before canceling your E-ZPass account, it is important to review the terms and conditions set by your issuing agency. E-ZPass is operated by different regional tolling authorities, such as New York E-ZPass, E-ZPass Maryland, or Pennsylvania E-ZPass. Each agency may have slightly different policies regarding account closure.

Most E-ZPass agencies require users to return their transponder when canceling. If the transponder is not returned, a fee may apply. Some agencies also require a notice period before cancellation takes effect, typically within a few business days of receiving your request.

If you have a prepaid balance in your E-ZPass account, your agency may refund the remaining balance after deducting any outstanding tolls or fees. Refunds are usually processed back to the original payment method but may take a few weeks depending on the agency's policies.

What Information Does E-ZPass Need?

To cancel your E-ZPass account, you will need to provide certain details to verify ownership. This typically includes your full name, account number, mailing address, phone number, and email address associated with the account. Some agencies may also require verification of your vehicle’s license plate number.

If you are mailing your transponder for cancellation, ensure that you include a written request with your account details to confirm closure. Some agencies may provide a cancellation form on their website, which can be printed and included with the returned transponder.

For customers using automatic replenishment via credit card or bank account, it is recommended to remove your payment method before canceling to prevent any future charges.

What Happens After I Cancel My E-ZPass Account?

Once your cancellation request is processed, your E-ZPass account will be closed, and your transponder will be deactivated. If you are eligible for a refund, the balance minus any outstanding tolls or fees will be returned to your payment method. Some agencies may issue a check if the original payment method is no longer available.

If you continue to use toll roads after canceling your E-ZPass, you will need to pay tolls using an alternative payment method, such as cash (where accepted) or another electronic toll service. Some states automatically enroll former E-ZPass users into a pay-by-plate tolling system, where tolls are charged based on the vehicle’s license plate number.

For customers enrolled in monthly or annual plans, cancellation may take effect at the end of the billing cycle. Checking your final statement is recommended to ensure no additional charges apply after cancellation.

Can I Also Contact E-ZPass Directly?

Yes, E-ZPass accounts can be canceled directly through various methods. Depending on your issuing agency, you may cancel through:

• Online Account Portal: Some E-ZPass agencies allow customers to cancel their accounts online. Log in to your account, navigate to the account management section, and follow the cancellation instructions.
• Phone Support: Calling customer service is another option for canceling your account. Be prepared to verify your account details and request specific instructions on returning your transponder.
• In-Person Cancellation: Some regional E-ZPass centers accept in-person cancellations, where you can return your transponder directly and request a closure of your account.
• Mailing a Request: If mailing your transponder for cancellation, include a written request with your account number and contact details. Some agencies require cancellations in writing for verification purposes.

If you are unsure which method applies to your specific E-ZPass agency, checking their website for cancellation policies is recommended.

Can I Revoke My Account Cancellation?

If you decide to keep your E-ZPass account after submitting a cancellation request, some agencies allow you to revoke the request before it is processed. If the cancellation has already been finalized, you may need to open a new account and obtain a new transponder.

If you wish to reactivate a previously canceled E-ZPass account, you may be required to go through a new enrollment process, including submitting payment details and ordering a new transponder if the old one was deactivated or returned.

How Do I Check my E-ZPass Account?

You can check the status of your E-ZPass account by logging into your online portal. Here, you can review your balance, transaction history, and any pending cancellation requests. If you have submitted a cancellation request and want to verify its status, contacting customer support can provide further details.

If you are expecting a refund after cancellation, checking your payment method for a refund transaction or monitoring your email for a confirmation message will help confirm that the process has been completed.

How Long Does the Account Cancellation Process Take?

The processing time for canceling an E-ZPass account varies by agency. Some cancellations are processed within a few business days, while others may take longer, especially if a refund is involved.

If you are returning a transponder by mail, the cancellation process may not begin until the agency receives the device. It is recommended to track your shipment or request a delivery confirmation to ensure the transponder has been received.

Refunds for unused balances typically take up to 30 days, depending on the issuing agency's policies and the original payment method used.
