Just a word of caution for anyone renting a car at MCO (or any other FL airport)......... several years ago, before we moved to TV, we flew down and rented a car that had a Sunpass transponder in it. I never thought to make sure it was turned OFF (the transponders the rental car companies use are different than the ones we can buy, and have an ON/OFF switch). Well, you guessed it...... not only did I pay cash for the tolls, but the Sunpass was charged as well. We were in FL for about 2 weeks and did a lot of driving around, and we ended up paying double tolls and for the use of the Sunpass. Expensive, lesson learned. If you don't want to pay for it, make sure it is turned OFF.
