- Cash or credit cards can be used at toll booths. You will need to have the exact amount of cash or a credit card with a chip reader.

How to pay missed toll in Ohio
Ohio Turnpike[4] has a gated system at the toll booths. This means that motorists cannot pass through the toll booth without paying a toll. This eliminates the possibility of toll violations or missed tolls. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
If you are using cash or credit card, you will need to have the exact amount of money ready. The toll booths do not give change.
If you are using E-ZPass, you will need to make sure that your transponder is properly mounted in your vehicle. If it is not, your toll may not be deducted from your account.
If you are driving a vehicle that is not E-ZPass-eligible, you will need to pay by mail. You will receive a bill in the mail for the tolls that you owe.
