As usual on this site, the "advice" & information, is all over the place and a lot of it is just plain inaccurate.

You can't buy a SunPass Pro for $5. They cost $14.95 direct from the SunPass website. I'm not sure what Amazon is selling for $30.

You can simply switch your SunPass Pro to any car you're driving. If you're using it in a "rental", you can activate it with your online Acct or App to make sure you don't have any problems ... but you're probably not going to have any.

You need to make sure your Rental Car's transponder is not activated. SunPass will read your Transponder, whether it has your Registration Plate # or not.

SunPass Pro is the unit that works in the most states, especially along the East Coast.

SunPass.com is the website. Attached is a Screen Shot, that shows the $14.95 price. It comes with a 2 year warranty.
