Purpose

The Rent-A-Toll company provides a service to car rental companies called Pass24. This service provides for billing rental customers for the tolls that they incur during the rental. Pass24 is sold by the rental agent at the time of rental. Rental customers can accept or decline the service.

If the service is accepted, the renter is billed a daily and/or weekly fee that covers all tolls incurred by the renter during the rental. If the renter accepts the service, they pay the daily/weekly fee only, regardless of the number or cost of the tolls incurred during the rental. If the renter declines, he or she is responsible for all tolls incurred. If the renter does not pay those tolls at the toll booths as they are incurred, those tolls are billed back to the customer.

Rent-A-Toll has agreements with the tolling authorities in the cities and states in which it operates. Toll charges are downloaded by these authorities to Rent-A-Toll. Rent-A-Toll matches the toll charges to information in the transmission files provided by Bluebird to determine whether the renter purchased the Pass24 service. If the customer purchased Pass24, Rent-A-Toll does nothing, as the renter owes nothing. If the renter did not purchase Pass24, Rent-A-Toll uses the data in the credit card file to bill the renter for tolls incurred

Please note that this is an add-on module, and you must enter into a contractual agreement directly with the HTA before this module can be implemented. There are also additional set-up requirements. Please see the RTL Setup Guide.

Fields

Rental Location Code - Enter the RentWorks code location.

Data File Output Directory - The path to the main export file directory. Four or six subfolders should be created under this directory for the individual output files. These subfolders are defined in the ”Output File Directories” section of the RTL Setup Guide.

Toll Authority Model Type - Not currently used.

Rent-A-Toll Product ID - Set to “P24”.

Rent-A-Toll Package IDs - This should be a comma delimited list of codes for the charges defined in Marketing->Pricing->Misc. Charges and Coverages for the Rent-A-Toll Pass24 program. It is very important that these be keyed exactly as they are defined in that program. If not, the RA output file will not reflect that the rental customer chose to use the Rent-A-Toll Pass24 service.

Transponder Code - This is the Miscellaneous Charge Code used for creating charges for Transponders. This must be the only code used for transponders as it will trigger certain information to be added to the RA file when it is used on a rental agreement.

Last Run Date - The last date the build program was run, as defined in System Tasks.
