This comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial (updated for 2025) walks you through every aspect of accessing, securing, and navigating your account so you can focus on the road ahead rather than paperwork behind you.
What Is NC Quick Pass, and why do You Need an Online Account
NC Quick Pass is North Carolina’s official electronic toll collection system, operated by the North Carolina Turnpike Authority. It works on all NC toll roads and is fully compatible with E-ZPass lanes across 19 states. An online account lets you view transactions, add funds, manage transponders, update vehicles, and avoid paper statements or violation fees.
