If you rent in the EZ-Pass area, get one and stick it on the window. Turn off the rental one. Many states don't take cash anymore and the plate readers will bill the rental companies if you don't have an EZ-Pass. In my state I can put the car tag number on my EZ-Pass as a rental. Some states issue EZ-Pass boxes with minimal fees + deposits don't expire.
I also travel with a dashboard GPS. They are usually better than the car nav systems. Just don't leave your stuff in the car when you rush to the plane.
I had a curbing hit on a recent trip. It was to a busy city I didn't know so I took CDW. Returned the car, the guy saw the dent, looked at the contract and I never heard a peep afterwards - no papers filed. Sometimes the peace of mind is worth it.
