Why Should I Get An Oklahoma Pikepass?

If you are a regular user of the Oklahoma turnpikes, getting an Oklahoma Pikepass would definitely be to your advantage. It is an electronic sticker tag that you stick on your front windshield, behind the rear view mirror. It enables you to drive straight through the toll collection points, eliminating stopping and starting, checking for exact change, and paying at the tollbooth.

How Does The Electronic Tag In The Oklahoma Pikepass Work?

When you apply for membership, you link your debit card or credit card details to your tag. Every time you drive through an Oklahoma Pikepass toll booth, your electronic tag is scanned and the payments are automatically charged to your account. You are charged at discounted rates to those paying cash.

How Do I apply for a Pikepass membership?

Here is the step-by-step process:

Step 1

Make sure you have the following documentation/information:

A valid driver’s license.
A valid debit or credit card. Note that Oklahoma Pikepass only accepts American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover.
The VIN of each vehicle requiring registration
Licence plate numbers.
The state the vehicle was registered in.
Year, make and model of each vehicle requiring registration.

Step 2

When you have all the documents sorted, you can activate an account online at pikepass.com. Please note that this site is only available to people within the US. Overseas visitors will have to apply when they reach the US. Alternatively, if you are unable to apply online, visit any Pikepass Store or call 1-800-745-3727.

Step 3

When you have completed the online application process, your Oklahoma Pikepass sticker will be mailed to you. When you have received your Oklahoma Pikepass sticker, place it properly on the inside of your windshield.

Follow these guidelines to make sure your sticker is correctly and firmly placed:

Using rubbing alcohol, cleanse a spot behind your rear view mirror.
Wait until the alcohol has completely dried before placing your sticker.
Remove the tape from the Oklahoma Pikepass tag and press the sticky side against the windshield.

Step 4

The stickers, once applied, should not be removed. There is a more convenient portable option that allows you to move it between cars of the same class. The stickers are free of charge, but the portable Pikepass requires a once-off fee.

Step 5

You can make your payments for the Oklahoma Pikepass in a number of ways:

As mentioned in Step 2, create an online account at pikepass.com.
Debit and credit card payments can be made by calling 1-800-745-3727 (confirm online for office hours).
If you want to pay by cash, check or money order, you can do so in person at any Pikepass Store.

Can the Oklahoma Pikepass be used outside of Oklahoma?

The answer to this is, yes, in Texas, Kansas, and certain toll roads in Colorado and Florida. Previously it was only allowed on the North Texas Toll Authority roads, but a recent decision has now included the toll roads of Houston and Austin. Alternatively, a Texas toll tag can now be used in Oklahoma too.

What happens if I forget my Oklahoma Pikepass?

If you have forgotten your tag and happen to drive through a Pikepass lane without paying, you will need to contact the Customer Service Center as soon as possible, to escape getting a fine.

In the case of lost or stolen Oklahoma Pikepass tags, you also need to contact Customer Service as soon as possible, to avoid incurring any toll charges. You will be held liable for all charges up until the moment you report your tag as stolen.
