Frequently Asked Questions About Tolls in Delaware

You know how expensive Delaware toll fees can get and what an administrative burden managing invoices is. Here are our answers to some FAQs to give you a better understanding of the toll landscape and find a solution that impacts your bottom line.

1. How Can You Pay for Delaware Tolls?

Your truck or service fleet can use transponders or electronic tags to pay for Delaware tolls. Main toll plazas also accept cash payments. Some roads do license plate pictures and mail you the invoice.

2. What Happens if you Don’t Pay a Toll in Delaware?

If you don’t use the cash payment option at the toll or you did not preload money on your standard transponder system, you will receive an invoice in the mail. This violation invoice will have a hefty administrative fee included.

When you leverage Fleetworthy’s transponder-based solutions, you avoid inadvertently having insufficient funds on your device. Our team monitors and manages your transponder systems, loading funds in time. You can also seamlessly view your fleet’s toll fees in the intuitive, one-solution dashboard.

3. What Are the Costs of Toll Roads in Delaware?

Toll costs depend on the size of your trucks or service fleet vehicles and the:

• Number of axles per vehicle/truck
• Payment method used
• Day of the week your drivers use the road

You can expect to pay about $2 to $6 on the toll roads and bridges.

4. How Much are Delaware Toll Violations?

If a Delaware toll invoice issued through the Toll By Plate system is not paid by the due date, each unpaid transaction will be considered a toll violation. For each toll violation, the following additional fees will be charged:

• $25 Administrative Fee
• $10 Ambulance Company Fund Fee
• $15 fee to Combat Violent Crimes

So in total, a single Delaware toll violation can result in $50 in additional fees on top of the original unpaid toll amount.

5. How Do I Know if I Owe Tolls in Delaware?

To find out if you owe tolls in Delaware, you can:

Check Online:

• Visit the E-ZPass Delaware Violations page and enter your violation number, license plate number, and state to search for any outstanding violations.
• Use the Toll By Plate website to look up and pay toll invoices using your license plate number.

Contact Customer Service:

• Call the Delaware E-ZPass Violation Processing Center at 1-888-397-2773 for assistance.

Mail Notices:

• Toll violation notices and invoices are sent to the address registered with your vehicle. Check your mail for any such notices.

By using these methods, you can determine if you have any unpaid tolls in Delaware.

6. Can You Appeal a Delaware Toll Road Violation?

Delaware E-ZPass customers with accounts in good standing can appeal their toll violation notices through multiple methods:

• Accessing the Appeal Page on the E-ZPass Delaware website
• Appealing over the phone
• Appealing in person
• Appealing by fax
• Appealing by mail

However, if you are not a Delaware E-ZPass customer, you should follow the written instructions provided on the toll violation notice to appeal.

7. Are Transponders or E-Tags Cheaper to Use?

Yes. Transponder systems are more affordable than getting invoiced by the Delaware tolling authority. The penalty invoices have administrative fees. In some cases, drivers can expect to pay over $50 one-way if they don’t use the cash or transponder systems.

8. Can You Put Your Service Fleet’s Plates on File With Toll Authorities?

Service fleet and trucking companies cannot put their vehicle plates on file with Delaware toll authorities. If you don’t want to leverage a transponder-based solution or want a backup solution to your transponder system, partner with Fleetworthy.
