No one has mentioned this, and I think it should be, maybe with some clarification. I found (online) that both the Sun Pass and E-Pass offer toll discounts over cash pay, but only for frequent users. For example, Sun Pass offers a discount but starts at a minimum of 35 transactions/month according to my AI copilot (although I could not confirm this on the Sun Pass website). The discount is listed as 25% on some links and 50% on others, so I'm not sure what it really is.

For me, if I'm at TV most of the time and use the turnpikes and other toll roads say 4-5 days per month at 6 transactions per trip, that's only 24-30 transactions per month, which means there's no real advantage for Sun Pass. Is this true? Just wondered why no one has mentioned this.

Note: In the past when I rented a car at MCO I would get the Visitor Toll Pass, which has a 23% discount over cash payment with no minimum transactions.

I am not familiar with UniPass or E-Pass but they *might* also work on E-Z Pass roads.

Uni is by EZ-pass and it works on Sunpass and EZpass tolls. Use it on all FL toll roads. As well as other states as previously stated by other posters. Delete the spaces and you will have the website.

MY EZ Pass has yet to find a road where it isn't accepted east of the Mississippi. I carried both a SunPass and EZ Pass but when they started to accept both and SunPass wanted to charge for their compatible unit I cancelled and kept my EZ Pass. From here to PA to Oshkosh WI all toll roads I use take EZ Pass.

It looks like Uni is by EPass ( not EZ Pass) and is the EPass equivalent of the SunPass PRO.

So the options seem to be...
Stay in FL: SunPass, EPass
Travel in MD and VA (and probably others): EZ Pass
Travel most places east of the Mississippi: SunPass Pro, Uni, or have a separate EZ Pass plus a EPass or SunPass

Note that carrying two passes can result in paying twice if a highway accepts both. This has happened to me.

SunPass only works with SunPass roads
E-Z Pass only works with E-Z Pass roads
SunPass PRO works with both SunPass and E-Z Pass roads <- This is what I have for driving in FL and up to MD

All FL toll roads accept both SunPass and E-Z Pass so if you stay in FL either one will work.

There *might* be a discount for using SunPass in FL
There *might* be a charge from the state in which you maintain your E-Z Pass (MD does, others don't)

I found out earlier this year that neither SunPass nor E-Z Pass work on TX toll roads or the bridge in LA over Lake Pontchartrain. I have to remember to tell my Nav system to avoid those toll roads.

When I moved here four years ago this was correct. I could use EZPass on Florida’s Turnpike, but I needed SunPass to get from there to the airport. I think it was two years ago that they finally completed full reciprocity, so EXPass will work all the way. But I now use only SunPass.

I had EZ-Pass in NY and it works fine here - and everywhere along the East Coast - so I kept it. If Sun Pass works the same way get that because we are here. EZ-Pass has no fees.

Travel with One Toll Account

SunPass PRO works on toll roads and most bridges in Florida plus, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, parts of Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.


Online Purchase
Already have a SunPass transponder? It will continue to work throughout Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

If you have an E-ZPass, there is no need to purchase a SunPass PRO. You can now use your E-ZPass to travel on toll roads in Florida.

We also changed to multi pass from Amazon when we moved here. Have used it driving to upstate New York without issue. Use it on all roads here without issue.
The account holds a small reserve against future usage and replenishes by credit card.

Have Sun Pass Pro and works everywhere I need it on the East Coast. More reliable than EZ Pass.

I recently changed cars and Sunpass billed my plate and ignored my transponder. I called them and they put the new car on my Sunpass and gave me the Sunpass discount in lieu of the higher bill by plate fee.

Get the app if you don't already have it. Very easy to add or remove tags/plates/cars from your account.

Of course, you have to remember to do that, which I usually don't...

[kimgarwel12@gmail.com]

We have the I-Pass out of Illinois and so far have found it compatible with Sun Pass, EZ Pass, and E-Pass. No monthly charge and for the traveling we do, it serves the purpose. Pretty much covers everything east of the Mississippi.

It depends on where you plan to mostly drive the vehicle. I have a Sun Pass Pro on my vehicle tagged in FL and an EZ-Pass on my vehicle tagged in NY. Although they both work on any toll that I have encountered, the Sun Pass does NOT give you the electronic tolling pass rates at the NY crossings; you pay the same rate as if you had no pass at all at the toll by plate rates. For example, yesterday I drove over the Throgs Neck Bridge with my Florida tagged vehicle and was billed $11.19 to my Sun Pass account. If I had driven the EZ-Pass vehicle over that same bridge, the toll would have been $6.94. I do not pay monthly for the EZ-Pass transponder. I have also had several instances when the tag on the vehicle didn't match the tag in the transponder's account (got a new car and failed to update the EZ-Pass account) and I was sent a toll by plate bill in the mail. There were numerous very frustrating phone calls to get it sorted out, so I don't recommend moving the transponder from vehicle to vehicle with EZ-Pass as you could have this issue. I think the Sun Pass Pro website actually says that you can move the transponder with you from vehicle to vehicle. I hope this is helpful.

Sunpass give you a discount over cash/plate tolls… even if you use it 1 time. I believe if you say live in Orlando and drive on all the toll roads daily, there is another discount on top of the regular discount but only if use a Sunpass.
