Just spent a few days in New Jersey and drove through several tolls in a rental car. I did some research beforehand just to be safe and I'm glad I did, because at a New Jersey toll station there are only two ways to pay - EZ Pass or cash. No credit cards! Hello Jersey, welcome to 2025 plastic is how we all pay for stuff, but no not there. So make sure you have enough cash in pocket or carefully consider getting the pass along with your rental car. Also be really mindful when pulling up to the toll booths since you have to get into the correct lane for cash and often, to the delight of everyone behind you, you're going to need to suddenly veer 3 or four lanes in either direction.
This is also the state where you don't pump your own gas.
