Understanding pricing
During E-ZPass Minnesota hours, solo driver fees are based on traffic levels in the E-ZPass lane and can change every three minutes.

Fees range between $0.25 and $8.00 to keep traffic moving at 50 to 55 miles per hour in the E-ZPass lane.

An E-ZPass account is like a debit account; the initial prepaid amount required to open an E-ZPass account is $25. Your account balance pays the fees when you use the E-ZPass lane as a solo driver during peak hours in Minnesota. When your account falls below a set threshold amount, the system automatically replenishes your account for a set amount.
