Any advice on avoiding toll roads when going on a cross state road trip in a rental car?

I am in Minnesota. And I want to take a cross-country road trip via rental car to Texas. I am just wondering is there a particular app that you would use that can help you avoid toll roads as you cross state lines? Much appreciated.

MN to TX- just stay on 35 and drive South. Easy peasy.

obviously you have not driven that route as I35 is a toll road.

Interstate 35 through parts of Kansas and Oklahoma are toll roads.

Google Maps has an option to avoid tolls. It works!

Texas is a crap hole, why on Earth would you go there?

If you go on i35 it’s pretty much toll free all the way to the Texas coast.

Set Google Maps to avoid tolls. Unless you're going up and down the East Coast you'll be fine.

I have found that a lot of GPS apps and physical GPS you can input to avoid tolls.

Where are toll roads on that trip? I vaguely remember in Oklahoma, I think. Not gonna break the shoestring.

If you focus on avoiding tolls - make sure you aren’t spending more on gas for the extra miles traveled.

Echoing the others to say your map app will do it for you. Be mindful, though, that sometimes taking longer routes to avoid tolls will cost you more in gas $

Same for Apple Maps … there is an Avoid drop down that allows you to select toll roads when you enter your starting point and destination / stops.

Waze has an avoid tolls option

When you’re using Google Maps you can select the option “avoid tolls”
