| N. ANDOVER, MA (August 1, 2005)
- TSD Inc., the leading provider of
management software for the rental industry, has announced its partnership with
the Highway Toll Administration, LLC (HTA) for electronic toll collection
services for rental car companies. ETC services involve equipping rental
vehicles with electronic toll collection devices (transponders) such as E-ZPass,
SunPass, 407ETR, etc. The programs, currently in the pilot phase, will provide
rental customers the convenience of electronic toll payment, and generate
additional revenue for the rental company and counter personnel through the
rental of transponders.
TSD has developed a seamless transponder rental interface in their TSD RENTAL
Management Software, allowing car rental companies to offer transponder-equipped
vehicles to its customers. TSD is the exclusive rental management software
provider with an interface to the program, which allows a customer to have the
tolls during their rental billed directly to their credit card by HTA. The
interface to TSD RENTAL Management Software further enhances the convenience of
the transponder rental program by allowing the transponders to be attached to
units in the program and added to a bill as a Daily Extra.
Electronic toll payment has become a popular and growing alternative to paying
cash for tolls, with more than 20 million transponders in use in the United
States and Canada. With the services of HTA and TSD, rental car companies are
relieved of toll violations processing. HTA's program relieves rental companies
with toll violations issues such as billing, dispute resolution, and customer
service.
Through their partnership, TSD and HTA provide a product for rental car
companies to increase customer loyalty and revenue.
