Upon further investigation:

“VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS:
All motor vehicles not currently titled in Florida must have the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) verified by a law enforcement officer, Florida notary public, or at the Tax Collector's office.“
The clerk at MV on Powell checked mine in the parking lot.

Watch the video on how to drive in a roundabout, they can be trickey if you never drove in one before.

I know that there's a toll coming north from MCO, but can anyone tell me if there is a toll coming south as described above?

Much appreciated, and looking forward to joining everyone in a few weeks.
No toll coming South on I-75 from I-10 to Rt 44. Don’t worry about 301 as some have said, that comes after you get off on 44. Be sure to stop at Buccee’s for gas and/or refreshments near Florida state line

The side benefit of exiting at 44 is you drive right by the Russell Stover distribution center on the left about 2 miles after exiting onto 44. In there they have all the seconds and overstocks of their chocolate and candy products. They also make a fabulous ice cream sundae!

And what is this request to register (every two years) to vote by mail?

I think you would have to exit off the freeway into a toll area that allows payment by cash or debit card/check. Since you know the states that don't have EZ pass you'll want to pay attention when you're driving so you don't miss a toll station. There might be a way to locate all the toll stations so you know in advance.

No toll if you follow that route.

BTW, I was pulling a trailer and got pulled over by a state patrol here in Florida. He told me that my sunpass didn't cover my trailer, that it's per axle charge. He made me get off the turnpike, lol.

I didn't know that. Not sure if you're pulling a trailer or just driving a car but it's something to be aware of

Nope NO Tolls… you are good to go. Hopefully traffic will be ok. I75 can be a mess at times.

Right off Interstate 10. I’ll put it on the list!

Thanks! I’ll have to remember to bring the ownership certificate

If I remember correctly, the only place you might get near a toll road is Houston or Dallas. We told google to avoid tolls and had no issues.

Once here, the only tolls we regularly pay are going to Orlando on the Turnpike. Even those can be avoided but I'd rather pay.

The restaurant is actually right by Las Cruces, NM, and it used to be excellent, I haven't been in many years, but I grew up in NM, and went to college in Las Cruces, so we went there a lot and loved it.

No Toll from I-10E to I-75 SB. You can even take the Florida Turnpike toll off I-75 as long as you take the first Exit 304 onto US-301 without paying a toll.

swasmund 02-06-2025 08:41 AM
Taking I-75 to 44 you don’t use the toll road at all. The toll road starts JUST south of The Villages if you want to go to Orlando, etc. We purchased an EZ Pass and just keep it in the car and put it in the windshield if we ever head further south.
