New Jersey Turnpike toll bonds.
From $100.
A business that wants an E-ZPass credit account with the New Jersey Turnpike Authority posts a bond guaranteeing the tolls it runs up on credit. The NJTA sets the amount from your monthly volume — commonly $3,000 to $50,000 — and pricing starts from $100, with most applicants qualifying at or near that minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What the toll bond actually covers
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) runs the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway and operates the state’s E-ZPass program. A business that wants to run tolls on credit — rather than prepaying a balance — enters an E-ZPass credit agreement with the Authority, and the Authority can require a surety bond to back that credit.
The bond is a payment guarantee. It stands behind your obligation to pay the NJTA for the tolls your fleet accumulates under the credit agreement. If your account goes unpaid, the Authority can recover the shortfall against the bond.
The NJTA sets the amount based on your estimated monthly toll volume, commonly in the $3,000 to $50,000 range, so it scales with your fleet. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the Authority, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the NJTA set, pricing from $100 — no credit check up to $15,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The term is set on the carrier’s application; the premium covers the period shown there.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
Submit with your E-ZPass credit agreement. Send the executed bond to the NJ Turnpike Authority with your E-ZPass business credit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Authority insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $15,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
