How do I obtain a toll road pass device?

[AZ SLIM]

I am coming from the western states, not the north, so I don't have any experience with toll roads. How do I obtain a toll road pass device for Florida? How do they work? I saw an earlier thread where they discuss different options as well. I don't plan to travel North of Georgia.

As mentioned in the previous post, you can get one on Amazon. I purchased mine at Publix.

SunPass is Florida's system and will also work in parts of Georgia. EZPass is used in the northern states. The SunPass device will only work on SunPass roads. The SunPass PRO device will also work on the EZPass roads. Not surprisingly, the SunPass PRO device itself costs a little more.

An important step is creating an account, providing funds (typically a credit card) and linking the device to the account. https://www.sunpass.com/en/home/index.shtml and Floridasturnpike.com (https://floridasturnpike.com) have all the information you need. My account is set to automatically add $10 when the balance gets below $7

Once the device is registered to your account, the account is funded, and the device is installed in your vehicle you use the SunPass/EPass lanes with no need to stop or even slow down on the sections I have traveled.

EPass (https://epass.cfxway.com/EpassWeb/)is a similar device from another tolling authority in Florida. I believe EPass is equivalent to SunPass and EPass UNI is equivalent to SunPass PRO.

Make sure you're going to use it, I bought one and find I don't use the toll roads very much.

Sun pass has a no charge thing going on now for transponder and you may win some money - was in paper today, didn't read it all because I already have one.

Amazon, or Publix , or on the Florida turnpike rest stops.

You can get the SunPass stickers pretty much anywhere. CVS, Walgreen's, your local AAA office all carry them. Those are the ones that are not moveable. It's just a sticker with grey "veins" on the back that connect to a tiny transponder built right into the sticker. You put it up on the windshield near your rear-view mirror. If you try to remove it, it'll rip and be ruined. They're $5 I believe, and then you have to register it online so that it can load up funds when needed.

You can buy passes at several locations, but Amazon offers many different options and accessories that may not be available in the stores. I would suggest checking it out.

For future reference there is a search function at the top that provides a wealth of knowledge from the TOTY Archives.

The E-Pass device is free, and is a credit card sized card that sticks inside your windshield. It is registered to a single vehicle. You set up an account online, associate a credit card, and fund the account with an amount you choose. You can also have them add funds to your account when your available balance drops to a level you specify.

The E-Pass Uni is not free (about $15), and is a portable device that you can move from one vehicle to another, including motorcycles. The Uni is not registered to a single vehicle.

Did anyone tell you that you can also pay cash at the toll booths and you don't have to purchase a pass?

Some toll booths have been removed. They scan your license plate automatically and send you a bill. It is convenient, but expensive.

The epass is accepted in about 18 states and cost about $15. You can get it through the mail and it is attached to a registered vehicle. You can use it in other vehicles because it is attached by suction cups, so can be used in a rental car, if needed. A great many toll roads in Florida no longer have access to paying cash and you wind up paying by plate which attaches a $2.50 charge to every toll. Worth it. I have traveled on non toll roads and it stinks.

Florida's Turnpike has gone cashless. You either pay reduced rates with an electronic device/sticker, or you pay inflated rates without one by being billed when the camera captures your plate number.

When was the last time you were on a roll road? Most are pay by plate (where they bill you) or use EZ Pass/Sun Pass. They've been getting rid of toll booths.

I have an E-pass on our golf cart, for the nights I get very drunk at the squares, and get lost on the way home.:icon_wink:

The best is an Uni Pass, available on Amazon.

I have a New York EZ pass. I have never paid a penny to purchase or use the EZ pass except for the toLLS that I have paid. Do youR research before you settle on one.

Once you use the turnpike they will bill you in the mail, from your plate. You then have the option to order a device and begin an account. Very easy! Safe travel!

I highly recommend the UniPass. It is part of the EZ Pass system and works throughout the Mid-west and East coast including Florida. There is no monthly fee and it is good in Florida and at Orlando airport parking. You can easily move it between cars (it is about the size of a garage door openener and mounts to the windshield with suction cups.

In the northern and central Florida areas EZPass can be used in lieu of Sunpass. Not sure southern Florida has the same ability. We have put our sunpass away and just use ezpass. If you still want one most pharmacies sell them ~$20.

[adamcurtis]

We just moved from new york this year and our EZ Pass works here now. Thought we would have to change to a Sun Pass but Florida toll roads now accept multiple options!

Thanks Everyone! Once again the good people on the Forum helped me out with great information. What a great resource.

[mkjelenbaas]

What info did you get when you did a GOOGLE?

[Luggage]

And you haven't had much in answers, you can read up on the tolls at the Florida Toll Authority website. You can buy E-Z Pass toll stickers and devices 2 most local supermarket chains here in Florida as well as almost all gas stations. There are several types from the $5 sticker attached to your window permanently the ones that will also work up and down the North Coast Line for most States. If you are going to go out of Florida at all get the one or two that are a few dollars more. Please note what is really great about Florida is that they actually give you a discount 4 using the SunPass stickers. I remember a New Jersey they actually started charging more when you use the electronic tolls

[Lindaws]

We bought ours at the service center on Turnpike. Out credit card auto. adds money as needed.
