Peach Pass: How to open account, add money

Peach Pass is an electronic toll system seamlessly deployed in the state of Georgia, United States. Primarily designed to work on Interstate 75, I-85, and I-575 in metropolitan Atlanta, Peach Pass also works on toll roads in North Carolina, Florida, and certain parking lots at the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

With Peach Pass, users are provided with free transponders, and tolls are deducted automatically from their prepaid online accounts. As a result, vehicle owners and drivers can avoid traffic congestion when using Georgia Express Lanes while also saving time by not having to stop and pay for tolls. Additionally, users are also subjected to toll discounts and can use their Peach passes to pay for parking services as well.

What are the Requirements For New Account?

Before you decide to open up a Peach Pass account, keep in mind that you will need a valid name, address, phone number, and email address. Alongside that, you have to provide your vehicle’s year of purchase, make, model, and licence plate information. Plus, a valid source of payment in the form of a debit or credit card will be required as well.

There are three types of Peach Pass accounts that you can choose from when opening your account. The first option will include a personal account, where you can use up to 10 Peach Passes linked to a single account. The second option includes a toll-commercial or business account, which is aimed at companies or businesses that are corporate-owned. There will be no limitations to the number of Peach Passes you can use with a toll-commercial or business account.

The final option includes a toll-exempt account, where only the following set of vehicles will be exempt from paying tolls on the I-85 (Georgia) Express Lane: a motorcycle, an alternative fuel vehicle with the proper licence plate, and a passenger vehicle occupied by three people or more.

It should be known that users can adjust the minimum threshold balances for their Peach Pass accounts.

Steps to Add Money to Account

Since Peach Pass uses an automatic account toll balance replenishment process, there is no hassle of manually adding money to your account. Your valid debit or credit card information will be stored safely on their servers for future use.

However, do keep in mind that it is always the account holder’s responsibility to maintain a sufficient balance in his or her Peach Pass account before approaching a toll booth because insufficient funds can lead to a toll violation.
