Can I use my I Pass? If not how can I get a peach pass

If you are traveling through Atlanta and want to use toll roads, you’ll need a Peach Pass. Unfortunately, an I-PASS (commonly used in Illinois and other states) is not compatible with Georgia’s toll system, so you won’t be able to use it directly on Georgia's toll roads.

However, you can easily get a Peach Pass to use during your time in Georgia. Here's how you can go about it:

  • Order a Peach Pass online:
    • Visit the official Peach Pass website to create an account and order a Peach Pass. They will send the physical pass to your address, which you can attach to your car's windshield.
    • Once you receive your Peach Pass, you can activate it through your account and load funds to cover toll charges.
  • Purchase a Peach Pass in person:
    • You can also purchase a Peach Pass at various retail locations, such as Walgreens, CVS, and Kroger stores in Georgia. These locations may offer the physical pass for immediate use.
    • Once you have the pass, follow the instructions to activate it online.
  • Use the Peach Pass in a rental car:
    • If you're renting a car, check with your rental company to see if they offer a Peach Pass or similar toll transponder for use during your trip. Many rental agencies in Georgia now offer this option for a daily fee or included in the rental cost.

Additional Tips:

  • Pay as You Go: If you don’t want to buy a Peach Pass, Georgia also allows you to use the “Peach Pass Pay-by-Plate” option, where your license plate is automatically scanned at tolls. You'll receive a bill in the mail for the tolls, but this can result in additional fees.
  • Check Toll Routes: Make sure to check which roads and express lanes require a Peach Pass. In Atlanta, major toll roads like the Georgia 400 Express Lanes and parts of I-85 and I-285 use the Peach Pass system.

Conclusion: While you can’t use your I-PASS in Georgia, getting a Peach Pass is simple, either online or in person. It’s the best way to smoothly navigate toll roads and express lanes in and around Atlanta.
