Sunpass Needed??
 
Hi All,
I will be picking up a rental car at MCO and driving directly to TV.
Should I get the Sunpass from the car rental company and is it necessary??
I will be using my own Garmin GPS.

No need....................there is a cash-taking human at each toll.

Sunpass is not a GPS.

just go thru the sun pass lanes,, the rental car folks will get the bill, they consider it cost of doing business

Lol The rental company passes that bill onto you at 10x the inflated cost of the toll.

Do not do this. You will be shocked when your credit card bill gets charged for enormous fees.

I got caught by Hertz on this in April. Paid cash at tolls that accepted cash but got caught on an expressway that only accepts SunPass. Cost of toll I think was $2.25 but my credit card was billed for $27.00 (use of SunPass plus toll). Ouch! Learned my lession. Buying a SunPass as soon as I get back in the state when I come down in December.

Carry a bunch of quarters just in case you hit an unmanned toll booth.

you can use your own sun pass in a rental car...get a sun pass

you go on the sun pass app and put the the rental car info in, the dates of the rental, and they charge your sun pass...

did this last summer when we drove from Disney to The Villages for our first look around...

:ohdear: That's not true! Why would you post that? For what purpose? Doing what you said would cost readers money.:mad:
