Like many New Yorkers, I don't own a car. This complicates weekend trips, of course, as I am forced to rent one.

I also rarely carry cash. I typically have about $2 on me. Why carry cash when I can use my debit card for practically everything? Unfortunately though you can't use your debit card at the toll booth. Until now! Sort of. From Jaunted, here's the headline that caught my eye: Fear No More Change-less Rental Car Drivers.

The Highway Toll Administration  recently introduced the TravelPass mail-order program that provides electronic tolling devices, or tags, to travelers who book car rentals through Travelocity.

Here's how it works:

1. Book your car rental on Travelocity

2. Choose the ‘Add a Toll Device' option

3. Check your mailbox for your TravelPass electronic toll tag

4. Use your TravelPass electronic toll tag

5. At the end of your trip, send the TravelPass tag back in the provided, postage-paid return envelope

Your credit card will be charged $1.99 per day and for any toll expenses incurred. When you figure I have to pay at least $3 to take money out of a bodega ATM to have cash to cross the bridge, seems like a deal to me.
