E‑470 and the Northwest Parkway use cashless tolling around Denver. If your route detours around traffic or heads to the airport via the beltway, your plate is scanned and the charge is billed through your booking. Plan your car rental with this in mind so tolls don’t surprise you later.
Most agencies enroll vehicles in a plate‑pay system. Expect the toll, plus a small administrative fee depending on provider. For value choices, consider Dollar Denver options or Thrifty at DEN, and if you’re hauling ski gear or bikes, larger van categories make airport transitions easier.
International visitors often look for car hire information; the same toll rules apply to these bookings.
With Hola Car Rentals you can keep costs predictable: on many itineraries we offer cashback on tolls. You’ll also find All‑Inclusive+ Rate with maximum coverage and, when plans change, Free Cancellation up to 48 hours before pick‑up.
Smart ways to handle toll roads
- Decide if E‑470 saves time vs. surface streets before you commit.
- Use consistent lanes—switching late can cause missed exits or erratic merges.
- Keep your plate clean of snow; cameras need a clear read.
- Save receipts and note dates if you want to reconcile tolls with your statement later.
FAQs
- Can I pay tolls with cash? No—these roads are cashless. Billing runs through the vehicle’s account.
- Will a personal transponder work? Unless your provider allows it, mixing devices can cause duplicate reads. Stick to the vehicle’s setup.
Pick the route that fits your schedule and budget—and rely on Hola Car Rentals to keep the toll math straightforward.
