Paying Tolls in Florida

Florida is a nice place to drive

.

You can drive to

Pensacola

, St.

Augustine, Tampa Bay, Miami, or as far as the Florida Keys, but the state has a lot of toll roads.

So how can someone on a visit to the state pay tolls?

Cash

When other alternatives fail, cash becomes the king.

There is a provision for you to pay by cash at most toll points in Florida.

It can be a coin basket or a manned toll booth.

Paying tolls by cash is valid in Florida.

However, there are two disadvantages involved.

It leads to the slow line and long queues of vehicles at the toll spot.

You will pay higher when you pay by cash.

You have to make an arraignment to have enough cash that will take you through the trip.

You may be searching your pocket for money as other drivers behind you get worried.

Can you imagine what will happen when you run out of cash?

When you run out of cash, you will resort to paper works.

Your registration information will be taken by the toll taker who will give you a bill which you must pay within a specific date.

The government of the state will send you a toll violation bill to your mail which you should not fail to pay within the specified days.

Toll-By-Plate

 

Toll-by-plate is very

common on all toll roads in Florida

.

You will see it on toll lanes installed with transponder systems.

Just drive through the transponder lane at a specified speed to pay your toll fee.

You will see an open-road tolling system on some roads.

In this system, you can drive through the toll lanes at highway speed.

For you to pay your toll at other toll points, you have to slow down to at least 25 miles per hour.

Pro Tip: You should know that most local drivers drive through toll points at a speed higher than the approved speed.

They become erratic near the toll points sometimes.

So, be mindful of your environment anytime you are at the toll plazas.

If you are using Toll-By-Plate you will be receiving an invoice every month.

A statement of your bills and a small administrative fee will be sent to your mail every 30 days.

SunPass

SunPass transponder is the best way to pay tolls in Florida

.

The method is relatively cheap.

It charges $4.

99 for the Mini and $14.

95 for the PRO.

It will offer you discounted toll rates from time to time.

It is good for even visitors to Florida.

If you are visiting

Florida with your car

, you should go for a SunPass immediately for your car, for you to save yourself the pains of cash-toll lines and the hassle associated with toll-by-plate.

Is SunPass and E-ZPass interchangeable?

I believe that you can interchange E-Pass and SunPass in Florida.

Both function equally and cam register

identical rates on toll roads in Florida

.

What Toll Pass Works in All of Florida?

There is no

toll pass in Florida

where you cannot use SunPass.

All you need to do is to mount the prepaid toll transponder on the inside windshield of your car.

The device is connected to a payment source which deducts your tool as you drive past a toll point.

SunPass is used on all toll roads in Florida

, all tolled bridges, parking garages, and at most of the major airports.

With SunPass,

you can pay for your cruise parking at Port Canaveral

.

The two types of

SunPass are the SunPass PRO and the SunPass Mini

.

The Mini is so small you can stick it on your car windshield.

It is used on toll roads, many parking lots, and

bridges in Florida

.

What toll pass works in most states?

Across the United States, we have 12 interoperable groups and 20 tolling brands.
