About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the toll bond actually covers

The Ohio Turnpike & Infrastructure Commission offers a postpaid E-ZPass account to high-volume customers — typically commercial fleets — who are invoiced monthly for their tolls rather than drawing down a prepaid balance. Because the Commission extends that credit, it requires a surety bond as security.

Per the Commission's postpaid account terms, a postpaid account generally requires at least $1,000 of annual Turnpike usage and a surety bond equal to roughly three months of tolls, or a $3,000 minimum, whichever is greater. The bond guarantees the tolls and fees you owe if you don't pay an invoice.

This is a financial-guarantee bond to the Commission, not a state license bond. If you fail to pay your toll invoices, the Commission can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Commission set, at a price starting from $100.

Ohio Turnpike postpaid E-ZPass account termsThe Ohio Turnpike & Infrastructure Commission's postpaid E-ZPass account program requires a surety bond as security for invoiced tolls — generally an amount equal to about three months of Turnpike tolls or a $3,000 minimum, whichever is greater, with a minimum annual usage threshold. This is a Commission program requirement (not a Revised Code license mandate); confirm the exact amount on your postpaid account application.
