Default EZPASS and Sunpass

Does my EZpass work in Florida? Do I need to keep both?

Yes the EZPASS works in Florida and good in 16 states. Florida to Maine and virtually the mid west and Minnesota toll roads.
I have a Mass EZPASS for years distributed free but you need to set up an account and credit card to auto replenish just like Florida. New York charges a monthly fee of $1.00 whether you use it or not. Florida and Mass have no extra fees.
Holders of E-Pass and SunPass transponders can now use them to pay for their airport parking fees at Orlando International Airport. ... The standard parking fee will be deducted from the customer's account, and no additional fees are required.

no, not always, we have EPass here. i thought the EZPass would work wherever, but found that's not the case. i have sunpass, which is SUPPOSED to be able to cover the toll, but i still get notices in the mail re: unpaid amounts. when i call to inquire, they say Sunpass should work, but don't know why it didn't process...(?)

Florida says your EZPass will work in Florida; others have had problems.

Maryland wants to charge me a monthly fee to have a Maryland EZPass on a Florida address - I'm canceling that as soon as "customer support" gets back to me.

I just took a trip up there and used the Sunpass-Pro (combination Sunpass and EZPass) with no problems at all.

In NY, there are three agencies that issue E-ZPass within the state, the New York State Thruway Authority, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The Port Authority and the MTA charge the $1 fee, the Thruway does not.

Sunpass PRO will work in 16 states, all the way up the east coast to Maine. The regular sunpass will not.

Does it have any markings on it at all? It should say "EZ Pass" or "Sunpass" or "E-Pass" or maybe just "Florida." Since EZ-Pass was only implemented widely in Florida in 2020-2021, a Florida transponder from nine years ago is very likely only a Sunpass.

Plus, as was mentioned previously, the statements you have been receiving should tell you which it is.

ditto...I too have a MA EZPass and a Florida SunPass transponder

for years FL didn't accept EZPass transponders....glad to hear that FL now does, but I'm still holding on to my old Massachusetts transponder

Got rid of our EZ-Pass a couple of years ago and switched to E-Pass. Works everywhere.

I just got my new SunPass Pro, and it's working as advertised in other states as well as Florida. Note that you need to get the "Pro" version to cover the multitude of other states -- it just came out recently. This post reminded me I need to cancel my EzPass.

Sunpass Pro is good in "ALL" except South Carolina, Vermont and Connecticut. Maybe those states have no tolls?
