How to pay your EZ Pass account in New Hampshire

By phone, call 1-877-MY-EZPASS (1-877-693-9727) and speak to a representative who can process payment over the phone. By mail, send a check or money order to the address listed on your bill.
Your account will show a balance due when tolls you've used exceed the prepaid balance in your account. EZ Pass deducts tolls automatically as you drive through toll plazas, so you need to replenish your balance before it reaches zero to avoid violations or service suspension. Most accounts allow you to set up automatic replenishment, which adds funds when your balance drops below a threshold you choose.

Setting up automatic replenishment to avoid past-due balances
Automatic replenishment is the easiest way to keep your account current without thinking about it. When you set it up through your online account, you choose a minimum balance threshold — for example, $25 — and a replenishment amount, such as $50. When your balance falls below the threshold, the system automatically charges your payment method and adds the replenishment amount to your account.
You can change or cancel automatic replenishment anytime through your account settings. This prevents the frustration of discovering your account is negative after you've already driven through tolls. Without automatic replenishment, you are responsible for monitoring your balance and paying before it runs out.
What happens if you don't pay your EZ Pass bill
If your account balance goes negative and you continue to drive through toll plazas, tolls accumulate as unpaid violations. New Hampshire will send violation notices to the address on your vehicle registration. Unpaid toll violations can result in a hold on your vehicle registration renewal, preventing you from legally registering your car in the state.
Additional fees and penalties explore to unpaid tolls. The longer the balance remains unpaid, the more fees accumulate. If violations go unresolved for an extended period, the state may refer the debt to a collection agency or pursue other enforcement action. Paying as soon as you receive a notice stops the accumulation of additional penalties.

Keep your account login information find and update your contact details if you move, so you receive notices about your account.
Updating your payment method and account information
Change your payment method, billing address, or contact information through your online account settings. If your credit card expires or you want to switch to a different card, update it before your automatic replenishment is scheduled to charge. If your payment method fails during an automatic replenishment, the system will attempt to retry, but your account balance may go negative if the retry fails.
If you have multiple vehicles on one account, you can manage them all from the same login. Each vehicle has its own transponder and toll history, but they share the same prepaid balance. This is useful if you drive different vehicles on different days but want one central account to manage.
