Do you have a NY EZPass and a FL Sunpass?

[Wiserbud47]

I have a NY EZPass and a FL SunPass and had both on my windshield. As I was traveling to Disney on 429 I went "through" the toll plaza near Independence. When I got home I noted that I was charged the toll on BOTH devices. I contacted NY EZPass and they told me that they now are now accepted on 429 and other road surrounding Orlando. They told me I must only have one pass on my windshield or I will be charged on both. They sent me a small aluminum covered pouch to keep the EZPass in so it can't be read at the toll plaza.

I learned a lesson and thought you might learn from my experience.

I hear ya. The same thing happened to me. The only difference was the NY/NJ device was in the Glove Compartment but not in the Protective Wrapper. I surrendered the device last time we were up north.

Sunpass is just great.

I wrapped my ez pass in a double layer of aluminum foil and keep it in the glove box for when we travel out of Florida.

All the way to Disney last week the read out at toll booths said no sun pass. After 2 times, we stopped at booth and asked, she said it registered on her screen as active, removing the toll from our account. My sunpass came with a pouch for travel. Once we got home online it showed all tolls were there.FL Sunpass is looking into it.

We also have both, once a year we travel extensively in EZ Pass land so the SunPass stays in the house, the EZ Pass is on the windshield. When we return we swap. Have yet to see a reason to carry both in the car.

Last spring I flew to Orlando and brought my sun pass because I needed it in Florida and wanted it for the return trip when I was driving our Florida car up north for the summer. I had the sun pass in my duffle bag under the seat in the shuttle from MCO to the Villages and got charged for the tools while on the shuttle. I now have a bag to store the sun pass in so it won't register when I am on the shuttle.

This is great to know. We have the Delaware EZ Pass and haven't yet gotten a SunPass.

Thanks for the info, it'll be very useful soon!

I have an EZ Pass from Rhode Island and also had a Sun Pass, somewhere along the line I read EZ pass could be used in Florida. I de-registered the Sun Pass. What a raw deal riding the shuttle and still being charged because it was in your duffle bag.

I think EZ Pass is only accepted on the CFX toll roads around Orlando. If you travel on FDOT toll roads you will be billed to your plate which is a higher toll then using SUNPASS. Could be wrong but if anyone knows more please help.

Yes you have to use only one of them.

Answer to question not asked??????

After reading some of these comments, I think maybe I should get one of those bags that keeps my Sun Pass or EZ pass from being read.
Does anyone know where I can get one, and is there a cost?

I called Sun Pass and the sent me one for free.

Look at E-pass Xtra from Central Florida Expressway Authority. Works everywhere in Fl and all the way north to Maine and west to Illinois, everywhere EZ Pass works.

I just got an E-Z Pass for NY when up there twice/year (use on Pa Turnpike also where Sunpass not accepted) because Sunpass doesn't work there but thought E-Z Pass didn't work in Florida
. Thank you for the post because my Sunpass is a sticker and I would have been double charged also. I will keep E-Z Pass in the garage until I go north.

[Bobcuse]

I just went to the E-Z Pass NY website to see which Florida roads now accept E-Z Pass and zero Florida roads are listed. The word FLORDA does not appear anywhere on their website which means anyone who didn't see this post o TOTV will et double charged if they carry both transponders.

I looked at it and it still says only on CFX toll roads....what am I missing?

This link shows Florida as one of the states where EZPass Xtra is accepted:

EZpass is not to be confused with EPass.

1. EZ pass can be used in 17 states but NOT in Florida
2. E pass can only be used in Florida
3. Sun pass can be only used in Florida
4. E Pass Plus, can be used in 18 states including Florida

That is CFX roads not FDOT roads.....Florida Turnpike will not accept EZ Pass as I read it. The roads that will accept it are: State Road 408 (East-West Expressway), State Road 414 (Apopka Expressway), State Road 417 (Central Florida GreeneWay), State Road 429 (Western Beltway), State Road 451 and State Road 528 (Beachline Expressway) which are in Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties.

This seems at odds with the original post. They indicated that their EZPass was charged near Disney.

Sorry, but you are mistaken. EZPass IS accepted on CFX roads in FL.

From the "Central Florida Expressway Authority" web site:

If you are traveling on CFX roads with both SunPass and E-ZPass transponders, you are at risk for receiving charges on both prepaid toll accounts. For those customers with multiple transponders, it is recommended that you remove the E-ZPass transponder from your vehicle or place it into a Radio Frequency (RF) shield bag while driving throughout Florida in order to avoid the possibility of being charged more than once.

If you notice charges for the same date and time by both SunPass and E-ZPass for driving on CFX roadways, please email your toll transaction statements from both agencies to e-pass@cfxway.com and we will review and assist you with the dispute. If you have any questions or concerns, you can call (800) 353-7277. E-PASS Service Center hours are 8AM-6PM (Monday – Friday).

As a reminder, it’s important that both your SunPass and E-ZPass accounts are current and up-to-date.
