AboutUs
The year was 2002…HTA’s founder, David Centner, had a vision for introducing automated toll payment to the rental car industry. Rental car customers had long been burdened with stopping to pay cash for their tolls, collecting paper receipts for expense reimbursement, or simply running the toll and receiving a hefty violation. This was an era of mass inefficiency. Toll authorities had huge volumes of unpaid tolls, rental agencies had millions of dollars in toll liabilities, and rental customers were idling at toll plazas everywhere.

Fast forward to today…As the pioneer at what we do, HTA is the leading company in our category serving most of the rental car industry. Automated tolling in rental cars has become a customer expectation. We have grown quickly maintaining the highest levels of service while continuing to push the envelope on technology. As delivered through our killer proprietary technology platform “TollKeeper” within our Agile Scrum development environment, we offer the most comprehensive electronic toll collection solutions for fleets in the world.
HTA’s culture is fun, casual, and fast-paced. Our people are flat-out exceptional. Our offices are bright, collaborative and open. We are growing and expanding to new heights, yet we remain committed to our humble foundation.

Our major rental car partners include: Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, National, Payless and dozens of independents, as well as franchisees.
