Specialized question: ACY and EZ Pass Plus???

[CleveRocks]

I live not far from Atlantic City International Airport and have used it numerous times. I was checking the website for updated info on how much they're currently charging for parking, and I came across something I'm not sure I understand.

In their parking system, you take a ticket when you enter the lot. To exit the lot at the end of your trip, I know that you can pay inside, near baggage claim, using one of the machines (been there, done that). But it also said you can just drive directly to the exit and then press the purple EZ Pass button.

Is it really that simple? You just ignore your ticket until you leave, drive up to the exit, insert the ticket, push the purple button, and the machine picks up your EZ Pass signal and you get charged that way??? I mean, I know that SJTA runs the local EZ Pass system AND runs the airport, but this just seems too easy.

I guess my other question is that I have a "recharge" amount of $55 but my parking charge will be higher than that ... any idea if my EZ Pass will get rejected because there's not enough in my EZ Pass account at that moment?

Just that easy. Is your EZ-Pass linked to a credit card? They'll just charge your parking on the spot.

I used it to pay parking in LGA. LGA doesn't give you a choice. Your EZPass is automatically charged. No purple button. You have to put your EZ Pass in the shielded "baggie" if you don't want to use your EZ-Pass to pay for parking.

You can opt out on the ez-pass web site.

If your parking exceeds the amount in your account it will charge the Credit Card associated with the ez-pass account. There is also a certain $ amount that will charge to your credit card immediately even if there is enough in your ez-pass account. I've used it at EWR, and there are cash only lanes where they will not charge your ez-pass.

Check out the ez-pass website for information on this it will answer your questions I'm sure.
