TOLL prices are set to soar from January 1, 2025, with drivers having just days to secure a sticker that helps keep costs down.
From New Year’s Day, customers will require an NC Quick Pass to use toll roads in North Carolina .
The North Carolina Turnpike Authority is increasing its toll rates beginning on January 1, although not all drivers will pay the same price.
If you secure an NC Quick Pass, you will save money and receive a 50% toll rate discount on roads in the Tar Heel State.
This is a rise from the current savings of 35%.
Drivers don’t need a transponder to use the discount, the Turnpike Authority announced.
It is launching a new NC Only Account type that is useable for travel within the state.
Some 300,000 free transponders will be sent to customers who receive an invoice between November 11, 2024, and February 28, 2025.
To further help drivers, the pre-paid balance requirement for new accounts has been lowered from $20 to $10.
