Check with Sunpass. I was told by a Sunpass representative that they will pay all the fees for Sunpass and E-Z pass tolls, they will only honor the discount fee in FL and GA.
If this is true then E-Z pass would be a better purchase as they give discounts in all states that use E-Z pass including FL. I made a trip to the airport with Sunpass, and a week later made the same trip with E-Z Pass and the tolls were exactly the same. I relocated from a state that had E-Z Pass and had kept it for trips northward. Based on What I was told, I decided to Keep E-Z Pass and close my Sunpass account. You can make your own choice. Maybe I was mis-informed? |

I don’t believe you will hit any toll roads from Ohio to Florida.

Boy, that was as clear as mud. And no one even touched on the additional factor of discounts provided by the various transponders. It’s a mess. All the damn toll roads need to get together and have one freakin box. And don’t even get me started on the useless suction cups. It’s the 21st century and we’re using suction cups?

IL uses iPass. Is that covered by Sunpass Pro?

Timely questions. Many of us have Sunpass and EzPass (from northern states). I spoke with Massachusetts EzPass rep today and was told that MA EzPass can now be used in FL interchangeably with Sunpass Pro (which we have). One or the other but do not keep both active in your car when going through an EzPass toll or Sunpass toll. If both are active, you’re likely to get BILLED from both entities. We just did. According to MA EzPass (today) print out copies of Sunpass invoice with toll charged, and print out EzPass invoice with toll charged and circle/highlight duplicate charges and send a highlighted copy to either the Sunpass administration address or your state’s EzPass administration address and they will review and remove and credit your account for duplicate charges. Eg, send it to MA EzPass and they will review both invoices and credit your MA EzPass account. Conclusion: if you have a transponder for each entity, remove one from your windshield and wrap it in foil or put it in the special bag and stash away. Use one, not both at the same time in a vehicle as two active transponders may result in double billing. These are recent developments as the MA EzPass rep stated they were just informed of interchangeable passes and the prospect of customers being double billed. Good luck!

We have a Sunpass Pro but will not work on WV turnpike if you travel to Ohio via I 77. The turnpike money collector says it is not accepted yet, which makes me think they are working toward it. It does work in Charlotte NC on i77 and Atlanta if you travel via i75.

Yes it is. At least for I-80 west from the I-294 split. Was there just last weekend and both west bound and east bound charges were logged to my new Sunpass Pro and deducted from my Sunpass account. I vaguely recall reading on the Illinois web site that the Chicago Skyway doesn't take EZ-pass and therefore not Sunpass Pro, but I could be mistaken about that. But to answer your question, EZ-Pass is accepted from Illinois all the way to New York plus a number of various east coast states. I think all of the states, just like Florida, have their own independent turnpike/tollway authorities. And all the the midwest, northeast, and now Florida have a partnership with EZ-Pass for the collection of tolls. So even if you get an EZ-Pass, you are actually getting it through a state authority (e.g. IL, OH, PA, NY, FL).

I recently secured a Sun Pass Plus which is apparently good up the entire east coast. Cost about $15 and replaced my old Sun Pass. It enabled me to cancel my EZ Pass. Full details at the Sun Pass Website. |

1. There are SunPass transponders at the Florida Welcome Centers, in vending machines, placed next to kiosks that walk you through setting up an account. 2. I purchased mine using a credit card (at the vending machine). The amount charged was $16.20. 3. My Visa credit card shows the following entry: USA* SODA SNACK VENDING YULEE FL 4. I bought the transponder with the suction cups. Also My son and I were traveling to Bok Tower Gardens and I decided to call SunPass to add another vehicle. The ensuing phone call, all caught on the dashcam, was such a ”comedy” that we nearly drove off the road from laughing so hard - repeatedly (the laughing, not the driving off the road). It stemmed from the artificial intelligence (automated respondent) thinking that we were responding when it was just road noise from driving. Forty minutes of «brute determination» finally got the job done. Yes, we did finally get a human and she was a gem. ➡️ |

We use to and from Ohio and it saves a lot of time. It can be used in Georgia where the Peach pass is required. Last I read the number of states that accept it is growing. Best to do your own research to find the latest if you want more information.
