FastToll Illinois

I HATE Tolls, and that’s an understatement...why are we paying for something our taxes are already paying for? But worse than tolls are stoping every several miles to pay another toll! We avoid traveling through IL for the very reason of Toll Roads (I hope you are reading this IL!) but this app makes the trip tolerable to the piont I will happily pay the processing fee! Works great and flawless! The only con is you can’t change vehicle types mid route or it changes them all...I.e I drive thru IL with just a truck, but I come back with a trailer, ie >small truck/6 tires then on return trip with a trailer I am now > medium Truck/3 or 4 axles. I solve this by paying my toll mid trip before the return trip. Overall this app is great and worth paying the processing fee!

I was going to rate this app as a 5, but after reading the review on payment not getting to IL, I’m concerned. Over Thanksgiving of 2018 I went to IL and a few months later I got a bill, complete with $20 fines for each toll, that said I hadn’t paid. I thought I had done something wrong using the app, or possibly HAD forgotten or whatever, although I am super conscious about paying tolls, and actually felt like I remembered paying them. Plus the app reminds you as well. So I appealed (I haven’t gotten the outcome yet). I checked my statement to send proof that I had paid, and the Thanksgiving tolls being paid were not there! I just went to IL again last week and the payments did show up on my statement this time, but I would say, check your statements! The charge should show up immediately (for sure on on a debit card) so you will know if payment went through. And if IL doesn’t get it, at least you have proof that someone named ‘IL TOLLWAY’ took money from your account. And last, I did try to pay this trip’s tolls on the road as soon as I crossed into to WI, and the payment pop up kept spinning and it did NOT go through. I tried again as soon as I got home and it did. So I think it works better In WiFi. I now think that is what happened over thanksgiving..... wasn’t in WiFi when I tried to pay them.

Though I find it very convenient this app can run add keep track of the tolls to pay later the integration with the state seems to be lacking. Even when I paid all tolls and received a confirmation (paid within 4 days) I was still suspect of whether that info would accounted for and figured to be say I would check the state’s unpaid toll after it hit 7 days or more to review by plate. Sure enough the same tolls I paid showed up as not paid so given the amount I paid again just to cover myself and try to make sure I do not get a violation. Even with that search offered on the Illinois website they still give no guarantee I won’t receive a violation. So I’ll continue to check but the next few days but given the trouble of making sure Illinois knows I paid (twice now) it would of been easier to go through and stop and pay. I recommend if you use the app be sure to follow up and pay a second time because there is too much of a delay or some issue communicating the info to the state.

I used the iOS version of the app recently and this was exactly what I was looking for. The convenience outweigh the small service fee you need to pay. But if you are a person who frequently need to pass through toll gates, then this is way too expensive. If you have time to get an I-PASS transponder and have a need to maintain it then you should go for that as I-PASS passenger vehicles receive a 50 percent discount off toll rates. You also need to maintain a minimum balance on that account but not with this app

I no longer stick that crazy white thing on my windshield! That toll pass white thing whatever you may call it is so annoying to see from outside view of my beautiful car. I hope in the future upgrades of this app that it has features that it will automatically turn on when I started driving. At this point never forget to turn it on before driving and passing through a toll pass. Overall this app is a must have!
