There are no tolls in Connecticut. SC and VT both have tolls. SC has its own electronic toll payment system that isn't compatible with EZ Pass or SunPass. It's called Palmetto Pass. Vermont accepts only cash for theirs.

Had EZ Pass for trips up north and out to Chicago. Had Sun Pass here. Sun Pass wanted to charge for their Pro transponder to work outside the state. EZ Pass no charge. Cancelled Sun Pass, got the refund of what was in my account and only use EZ Pass here....have never had an issue. Sun Pass customer service was very helpful so the cancelation and refund was easy and pleasurable.

There are no tolls in Vermont. We live there half the year and have a New Hampshire EZ Pass to use in MA, NH, and Maine.

Now that FL accepts EZ-pass you need to be careful if you have both in your car. You may get charged twice, once by each transponder. Put the EZ-pass in its foil bag while in FL to prevent it from being detected in error.

I moved here in Jan 2020 and got what I thought was the SunPass with EZ-Pass interoperability. WRONG! When I went back north a few months ago my SunPass did not work. It was a mess. Make sure it’s a “SunPass PRO!!” Only that will work with EZ anywhere. NOT the mini or the pre-2021 transponder. I bought a new PRO at the Service Plaza and threw out the old one (after registering it online).

Default Ezpass MA

I've used my Ezpass issued in MA from MA to FL. I've also used it to go to MCO with no problems at all.

I have had a NY pass for years and have never been charged a fee.

They probably said that it would be better to rely on the actual experience of thousands of users rather than believe the promotional statements.

Ezpass is new to florida. It was not available 3 yrs ago when we came. Now we have both ezpass and sunpass. According to the website ezpass bow works everywhere in Florida. They do warn if you have both you should place one in an RF bag. If both ez and sun pass are read you may be double charged.
I had trouble with the sunpass working and found I had to associate my license plates with the pass, which is done on the website.

I used EZ-Pass for many years in PA, NJ, and NY. I got it after friends driving north from Washington on a holiday weekend on I-95 got stuck in a toll booth line in Delaware for two hours. Now we zip past those areas at 65mph or faster. These are the good old days! When I moved to The Villages a year ago, I discovered that there was a section on the road between here and Orlando that used only SunPass and another section that accepted EZ-Pass. The SunPass web site said that EZ-Pass would be working with all SunPass roads by the end of 2020, but in April that hadn’t yet happened. So I got a SunPass transponder rather than receive a photo of my car and a bill every time I drove to the airport. It came in a little silvery envelope that blocks signals so it can’t be activated at toll plazas. Now I keep SunPass on my car all the time in Florida unless I’m driving North and leaving the state. I keep the EZ-Pass in the signal-blocking envelope in my glove box. I put it EZ-Pass on the windshield and take down the SunPass if I’m entering the rest of America.

I personally use E-Pass (Free sticker), but UNI and EZ-Pass Plus works in more states, but costs $14.95 for the transponder.

Uni – One Toll Pass. 19 States. | Central Florida Expressway Authority

Default Yes - EZPass now works across FL...

We originally had to obtain a SunPass 18 months ago when we moved here as EZPass did NOT work on the FL Turnpike. Now, EZPass does work on the FL Turnpike, and all other FL Toll Roads. We have used EZPass exclusively for a couple of months now with NO issues. We stopped our SunPass and received a timely refund of our remaining SunPass balance, and a confirmation email that our SunPass service has been terminated. We are back to a single EZPass that works up and down the east coast (our primary travel routes), and we are very happy with that. Hope this helps...

Depends on the toll road you are using. Some take EZPass or IPass, some do not. Not sure if those take Sunpass. If you travel thru Atlanta, your Sunpass works on the Peachpass lanes.
Now, isn’t that simple?
Select no toll roads option on your GPS.
