If you went through the toll illegally without a transponder, then the license plate is captured and the owner of the car (the rental agency in this case) will be sent the violation. They will then bill you. The fine for those tolls is $100. There are signs everywhere!
But don't just send Sunpass any money assuming you owe something. I would think you could use a credit or debit card if you needed to anyway.

When I picked up the car at the Orlando airport, Thrifty wanted something like $7 per day to have a transponder in the car. Since I don't plan on using the turnpike or 528 until I return to Orlando in 9 days, I wasn't going to pay $63 to only go through approx. 8 tolls round trip, so I declined buying the transponder. My bad for not seeing the lanes where you pay cash on 528. I did the same thing about 10 years ago near my home in suburban Chicago. I wised up fast and got an I-Pass right after that.
