Do NOT go through without paying the toll. You'll get a costly ticket in the mail, that's happened to me (I didn't run the toll, the guy who took the car after me got it the day I turned it in LOL).

You don't need a sunpass for one trip.

Yes, there are many tolls without humans.

I would use the villages shuttle, just make sure your guest knows exactly where to get the shuttle and what they look like, too make people MISDIRECT people to the village TAXI.
If you decide to order the SunPass online and have it in your possession when you pick up the car, SunPass has a mobile app where you can add a vehicle, check the rental box, and enter the rental plate number. The tolls will only be billed to your pass, not the rental company.

Just a word of caution for anyone renting a car at MCO (or any other FL airport)......... several years ago, before we moved to TV, we flew down and rented a car that had a Sunpass transponder in it. I never thought to make sure it was turned OFF (the transponders the rental car companies use are different than the ones we can buy, and have an ON/OFF switch). Well, you guessed it...... not only did I pay cash for the tolls, but the Sunpass was charged as well. We were in FL for about 2 weeks and did a lot of driving around, and we ended up paying double tolls and for the use of the Sunpass. Expensive, lesson learned. If you don't want to pay for it, make sure it is turned OFF.

Thanks for the info Tom53. I did not know there was a mobile app. I downloaded and it does just as you say. It gets bad reviews on the app store, which I do not understand. The app adds to the SunPass flexibility.

As a matter of fact, having lovely day. Don't take it personal, just correcting an incorrect statement.
