Toll Roads
Navigating Southern California's roadways can be daunting but doesn’t need to be with some key knowledge. One important aspect to be aware of is the FastTrak system and Toll Roads. FastTrak is an electronic toll collection system used on select toll roads and bridges in Southern California, including the 110 and 10 Express Lanes in Los Angeles, the 91 Express Lanes in Orange County, and the 15 Express Lanes in San Diego. It allows drivers to pay tolls electronically, bypassing the need to stop at toll booths. This system can significantly speed up your drive, especially during peak travel times. However, it's crucial to note that not all rental cars come equipped with FastTrak transponders, so be sure to inquire about this when renting a vehicle. Additionally, Southern California has several Toll Roads, including the 73, 133, 241, and 261, which offer faster and less congested routes in certain areas. These can be paid for ahead of time or after use via their website. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these roads and their toll rates as you are driving your rental through SoCal.
