You should be able to move it, and notify them of any permanent change, but to actually mount it, you need a high temp variation tape. They can supply that, generally for free. I've used ours in friend's cars just holding it up near the usual mount point.
Don't they charge more reading vs transponder?
That is correct. The only reason they want you to add your new car on on to your account is if the transponder stops working they let you know so you can get a new one, or if it doesn't get read they know you have an account by the license plate number and just automatically charge your account.
Under rated point right here…..the discount on the bridges is pretty significant if you purchase in state.
How do they deal with both states having the same plate # in their db?
You can move it but have to update the information for your car online. I live in MA and use a NH transponder b/c it was so much easier to get at the rest stops on 93 and it works everywhere.
I've used the MassDot EZPass for years since it was free even though I travel more in NJ and NY (and I didn't want to pay the monthly fees with those). With the bridge fees having gone way up, I might need to switch to NY EZPass.
In Mass, the pay-by-plate charge is more expensive than the transponder charge though.
I'm just going by what we saw when we drove on the Pike last week. Before every toll station the sign listed 3 prices: MA EZ Pass, Out-of-state EZ Pass and Pay by Plate. PbP was double the out-of-state charge iirc.
I must have missed it. What kind of car did you get?
I just got the Mazda CX50. Almost took a last-second look at the Rav4. The CX50 scores better in the turns, I've read.
