Compared to a transponder, Uproad is significantly more efficient and allows you to see all the toll payments on your phone – giving you way more transparency. It’s free and available on App Store or Google Play Market.
The app is very user-friendly. All you need to do is download the app, link your car, and set a preferred payment method. That’s it. Uproad will do the rest, activating your vehicle with appropriate tolling agencies. As soon as the next day, you’re ready to hit the road and pay tolls automatically with your PayPal, Venmo, Debit and Credit card.
Here is how it works: every time you take a toll road, Uproad sends you a Toll Alert notification. In the meantime, the app connects to tolling agency databases and sends your license plate number to them. The tolling authority then posts charges for your trip to your Uproad account. The app will cover your bill using your account balance funds. All you need to do is make sure to top up your account before driving. It’s that easy!
Uproad charges a small transaction fee for each toll payment. Are you taking toll roads a lot? Purchasing their $19.99 yearly Premium membership to reduce this fee might be your best bet.
With the app’s in-built trip calculator, you can easily calculate your total toll usage and estimate your upcoming trips’ costs. Nobody likes a guessing game when it comes to trip expenses.
And by the way, you can also separate your work and personal expenses in one tap on Uproad.
If you face any issues or have a question, you can contact the support team right through the app’s interface. They’re very responsive and will be glad to guide you.
Uproad first launched in California, then expanded to Texas, Virginia, and Illinois. It’s obvious now that they plan to quickly expand their coverage and become available in every state soon. This app will save you time, let you manage your travel budget more efficiently, and save your money by sending all of your toll payments right on time. And best yet, it’s all done without having to deal with the toll agency directly. Forget about getting a late payment notice!
You can call Uproad a game-changer, and you’ll be right. Are you going on a road trip or taking toll roads during your regular work commute? Your payments are now on your smartphone.
