Florida's Turnpike has gone cashless. You either pay reduced rates with an electronic device/sticker, or you pay inflated rates without one by being billed when the camera captures your plate number.

When was the last time you were on a roll road? Most are pay by plate (where they bill you) or use EZ Pass/Sun Pass. They've been getting rid of toll booths.

I have an E-pass on our golf cart, for the nights I get very drunk at the squares, and get lost on the way home.

The best is an Uni Pass, available on Amazon.

I have a New York EZ pass. I have never paid a penny to purchase or use the EZ pass except for the toLLS that I have paid. Do youR research before you settle on one.

Once you use the turnpike they will bill you in the mail, from your plate. You then have the option to order a device and begin an account. Very easy! Safe travel!

I highly recommend the UniPass. It is part of the EZ Pass system and works throughout the Mid-west and East coast including Florida. There is no monthly fee and it is good in Florida and at Orlando airport parking. You can easily move it between cars (it is about the size of a garage door openener and mounts to the windshield with suction cups.

In the northern and central Florida areas EZPass can be used in lieu of Sunpass. Not sure southern Florida has the same ability. We have put our sunpass away and just use ezpass. If you still want one most pharmacies sell them ~$20.

Talking Good news

We just moved from new york this year and our EZ Pass works here now. Thought we would have to change to a Sun Pass but Florida toll roads now accept multiple options!

And you haven't had much in answers, you can read up on the tolls at the Florida Toll Authority website. You can buy E-Z Pass toll stickers and devices 2 most local supermarket chains here in Florida as well as almost all gas stations. There are several types from the $5 sticker attached to your window permanently the ones that will also work up and down the North Coast Line for most States. If you are going to go out of Florida at all get the one or two that are a few dollars more. Please note what is really great about Florida is that they actually give you a discount 4 using the SunPass stickers. I remember a New Jersey they actually started charging more when you use the electronic tolls
