NY Bestpass E-ZPass bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
A sole proprietor or individual owner-operator running Bestpass transponders on the New York Thruway or other participating toll roads can also bill tolls monthly instead of prepaying — but Bestpass, Inc. requires this bond in its favor first, in an amount it sets. Premiums cost 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information. Use this individual-entity version when the account is opened in your own name rather than a company's.

What it is and who needs it.
What the Bestpass individual bond actually secures
Independent owner-operators use Bestpass, Inc. the same way corporate fleets do — one transponder program across the New York Thruway and other participating toll roads. When the account is opened by an individual rather than a registered business, Bestpass issues this individual-entity version of the bond for post-pay billing.
It is the same underlying protection as the corporate bond, sized to one operator rather than a fleet: a private contractual requirement Bestpass sets at its own discretion, not a New York statute. Published account terms set a floor of the greater of $1,000 or roughly three months of expected billings for Thruway, New Jersey Turnpike, and Pennsylvania Turnpike access, and Bestpass can adjust the figure as your toll volume changes.
The bond guarantees that you personally pay your monthly toll invoices — Bestpass's terms call for payment within twenty days of the invoice date. If you fail to pay and Bestpass claims against the bond, the surety pays Bestpass up to the bond amount and you then owe the surety. Enter the amount your Bestpass paperwork specifies; we price it from a $100 minimum with no credit section in the application.
