Uni Pass vs E-ZPass: Comparing Toll Payment Systems |
We have both, for the discounts and backup for misplacement (happened between cars)
use EZPASS MA for the MA discounts
use SunPass for the FL Discounts in FL.
The battery life is about 7-8 years, so they will fail eventually, and you can get a free one (usually, they may decide to charge in the future)
For those who snowbird / travel, pick the state where you spend the most in tolls and get that state's transponder if going with a single one. The Sunpass app works very well to change plates if flying in and using a rental car and your own transponder, prefer that one for traveling to the EZ pass
Once you register the car and plate, and you forget to put the transponder up, or it falls off or the transponder battery dies, your account is still billed based on the plate reader, so no bill in the mail but no discounts. (first hand experience and confirmation call with FL DOT when our MA EZ Pass battery died during a trip between MA and FL)
good luck. .
