The trend in the US and Canada is to eliminate toll booths and go with fully automated toll roads. If you have an EZ Pass or whatever the local transponder is called, you go right through. If you don't, they take a picture of your license plate and mail you a bill. In these places, the rental car agencies just automatically assume you'll use the EZ-Pass. If you manage to evade every toll road, it doesn't cost you anything; but if you hit even a single toll gate you'll get charged an additional two bucks for every day of the rental, plus the actual toll charges.
A while back I flew into Denver and took the E-470 expressway, assuming I'd be able to pay the actual tolls as I'd done in the past, only to find all the toll gates removed. As I recall, the actual toll was a buck and a half, but with the daily "convenience fees", my ten mile toll cost me close to twenty bucks.
It's been awhile since I've been through Chicago, but I know it's very easy to miss a toll booth on I-94 and other area expressways. I blew past one a few years back, but never got a bill. I think the hitch-mounted bicycle rack happened to obscure my license plate.
