NY Bestpass E-ZPass bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.

Fleets that run Bestpass, Inc. transponders across the New York Thruway, New Jersey Turnpike, Pennsylvania Turnpike, and other participating toll roads can bill their tolls monthly instead of prepaying a deposit — but Bestpass requires a surety bond in its favor before it extends that credit, in an amount set at its discretion. Premiums cost 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information. This version is for a corporation, LLC, or partnership opening the account.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Bestpass corporate bond actually secures

Bestpass, Inc. issues E-ZPass transponders, charge plates, and special hauling permits that let commercial fleets travel toll roads — including the New York State Thruway, the New Jersey Turnpike, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike — without stopping to pay cash. Most accounts prepay a deposit against future tolls; a fleet that would rather be billed after the fact has to secure that credit line with a surety bond made out to Bestpass.

This is a private contractual requirement, not a New York statute — the bond runs in favor of Bestpass itself, and Bestpass sets both whether a bond is required and how large it needs to be. For accounts using the New York Thruway, New Jersey Turnpike, or Pennsylvania Turnpike, the published minimum is the greater of $1,000 or roughly three months of expected toll billings, net of any volume discounts.

The bond guarantees that the fleet pays its monthly toll invoices within the agreed window — Bestpass's own agreement cites payment within twenty days of invoice. If the fleet fails to pay and Bestpass makes a claim, the surety pays Bestpass up to the bond amount and the fleet then owes the surety. This corporate version of the bond is for an account opened by a corporation, LLC, or partnership; a sole owner-operator files the individual-entity version instead. Enter the amount your Bestpass paperwork specifies; we price it from a $100 minimum with no credit section in the application.

Bestpass, Inc. — corporate surety bond requirement (not a New York statute)Bestpass, Inc. requires operators who choose post-pay billing rather than a prepaid deposit to post a surety bond with good and sufficient corporate surety, in an amount Bestpass sets at its own discretion. For accounts accessing the New York State Thruway, New Jersey Turnpike, and Pennsylvania Turnpike, published account terms set the minimum at the greater of $1,000 or approximately three months of the operator's billings, net of volume-discounted tolls and postpaid charges; the amount may be adjusted as billing volume changes. The bond secures payment of monthly toll invoices, generally due within twenty days of the invoice date. Confirm your exact required amount on your Bestpass account documents.

FAQ

Common questions.

What amount should I enter for the Bestpass corporate bond?Enter the figure Bestpass specified on your account paperwork. For accounts touching the New York Thruway, NJ Turnpike, or PA Turnpike, the published minimum is the greater of $1,000 or about three months of your expected toll billings — Bestpass sets the exact number, not us.
What does the bond guarantee?It guarantees that your company pays its monthly toll invoices — Bestpass's terms call for payment within twenty days of the invoice. If your company fails to pay and Bestpass claims against the bond, the surety pays Bestpass and your company then owes the surety.
Where do I file it?Send the executed bond directly to Bestpass, Inc. as part of your post-pay billing application or account renewal — it is not filed with any New York state agency.
Do I pay the full bond amount?No. You pay a one-time premium — 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — not the bond amount itself. Bestpass only collects against the bond if your company fails to pay its toll invoices.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. Larger fleet bond amounts may get a brief underwriter review — if a check ever runs, it is a soft pull that will not touch your score.
