Mistake. Billed by Dollar for the tolls, of course, but also billed a $25 administrative fee for each toll booth going and returning (4 total).
My understanding is that Florida is going to go to unmanned booths for tolls, either very soon, or 1st of year.
Missed a toll in Orlando on my way to TV last month. Thrifty is supposed to bill my credit card $25 -- but I haven't received the notice yet. Thrifty wanted $6.00 per day while I rented the car for a temporary Sunpass, but I declined as I was only going to use the tollway the 2 days I was in Orlando traveling to and from the airport. I was also told by Thrifty that all tolls in Florida will be unmanned by Jan. 1, 2013. Not great for the tourists...or TV wannabees flying in and out of Orlando.
