i had that issue a few months ago. i went thru tolls thinking they were being paid, but received a statement in the mail for toll fees. i called & the rep said not all roads are equipped to handle the EZ-Pass as of yet, so i may continue to receive statements. i checked my bank book & sure enough the tolls were not deducted. now i have both the EZ Pass & Sunpass up now & havent had any problems,.....yet

And now, EZ Pass from the Northeast is accepted everywhere in Fla.

Uni works on Sunpass and most toll roads in FL as well as parking at Orlando and Tampa. It also works along east coast, Northeast as well as PA, OH, IN. It used to pe called EZ-Pass pro or some such.

No exits are manned any longer if you use the late reader it's more expensive than using Sun Pass. I bought a one vehicle Sun Pass at Publix went online and set it up, it works great.

Just found that this out from my daughter, I saw a letter from toll authority so I asked what happened (you know Dad always wants to know). She told em that nothing was wrong that they just send a bill to the address pinned to the tag.:coolsmiley:

Drove to Orlando Airport yesterday. Noticed on a few (couple) of "drive through" toll booths "Sunpass Toll Paid"(or something similar. I only have an EZ-Pass, so it does work (some places at least) on the Turnpike.
On a previous trip to the airport (1-1/2 month ago), all of my toll charges were assigned to my license plate.

The dilemma, am I a Florida traitor if I keep the EZ PASS to save the 14 bucks or a PA traitor that gave me wide travel coverage for so many years lol
We are from PA too and are just going to use our ez pass. Going to get rid of the sun pass. Why not save the 15$. Be careful though. Ez pass was not accepted on Florida turnpike. I heard it was going to be but not sure if it is yet. Just all the other toll roads.

What pass would you recommend, driving from Nova Scotia Canada, to Florida?

If it wasn't for the potential fee, I would keep the separate systems and just remember to put one in the protective bag so I don't get charged twice. MD charges a fee, your state might not.
I've never lived in Maryland, but my EZPass is a MD EZpass. You can order one from any participating EZPass state's website. I have to log in to the MD Ezpass site in order to access my account info.

And yeah you can use the ezpass only on certain roads, between certain exits of Florida. The rest is "coming soon" and has been for over two years. Eventually, supposedly, the entire state will be part of the ezpass network.

Meanwhile, the SunPass only works in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. If you want to also use it north of North Carolina, you have to have the SunPassPro.

Since your pass is under an address outside Maryland, do you pay $5/month just for the benefit of having the MD-based pass? The website says they *may* charge a fee if you don't have a MD address but I haven't found anyone yet in that situation.

Most of the tolls on that trip would be in New England down to below Baltimore and on the optional Express lanes below DC. I don't recall and more tolls below there and TV. They are all EZ-pass states.

We were dinged pretty good on our trip to The Villages last month. If these roads took the EZ-Pass, the tolls never showed up on our EZ-Pass account, but the car rental company got us later.
