Las Vegas All expressways surrounding MIA (SR 836, SR 112, Turnpike) use cashless, all-electronic tolling. Rental companies automatically enroll the vehicle via license plate or transponder, billing your credit card. Most charge daily convenience fees ($4.95 to $11.99 per rental day) on top of the actual toll cost. Check your rental company's toll policy to opt out or purchase an unlimited toll package if planning extensive travel.
Avoid the gas stations located on NW 42nd Avenue (Le Jeune Rd) immediately next to the airport, as they are notorious for charging inflated prices up to double the standard local rate. Instead, exit onto NW 36th Street westbound (around NW 57th or NW 72nd Ave) or refuel along Milam Dairy Road (NW 72nd Ave) to pay normal market rates before completing return drop-off.
