The online car-buying site is presenting its "Random Acts of Carvana" for northbound and southbound commuters.

The State Road and Tollway Authority will have people in the booth with safety vests to move traffic through tolls booths along. Signage will be on the coin collector devices, which will be covered as well. Also, Carvana employees may be at some of the booths, handing out marketing materials.

Motorists with a Peach Pass will just drive through lanes as normal, but no toll will be collected from their Peach Pass account.

An estimated 42,000 cars will go through the toll plaza during the four hours.

Carvana.com is also offering a chance to win a $100 gas card. The company plans to give away 200 cards.

Carvana's Atlanta area distribution center and local offices are in Winder. The company offers potential car buyers the opportunity to browse, finance and purchase a car entirely online, and have it delivered to their door in 48 hours.
