Step 1
Go to a store in Illinois and purchase your IPASS. You will need to put down a $10 deposit on the unit as well as funding it. The total is about $50 to start. You can purchase more toll payments if needed. Determine what you will need before you buy the unit.
-
Step 2
Go online and create your account for your IPASS. The link is found within this article. Provide your credit card number, demographic information, license plate(s) on up to three cars. You can also provide an automatic replenishment amount should the account value drop below a certain amount. This will reduce the likelihood of violations.
-
Step 3
Place the transponder in the correct spot on your windshield between the rear view mirror and passenger seat. If you will not be keeping the transponder within that car, you can hold it up when you enter the Ipass toll lane.
-
Step 4
After your trip, go online to double-check that your tolls registered and there are no violations (fines) to pay. You can also check your account balance. Use your PIN and password to access your account on the Internet.
-
Step 5
Sign up for email updates on the Illinois tollway. This will also alert you to closures, construction and detours.
-
Step 6
You can return the Ipass to a sales outlet when and if you no longer need it to receive a refund for your deposit.
