It's been that way in Miami for some time now so they know that the electronic system works and they don't have to pay wages and pensions.

We’ve just returned from our Florida trip, drove almost 1000 miles and only went through 1 toll for $2.50 (and that was due to a missed exit).

It’s just good to have if you think you’ll potentially go on a toll road. The fact younget discounted fees means it’s worth having. I’m
Looking forward to it and not having my wife say “which ones are the quarters” etc when she’s sorting out the money on the approach!

Nice, the sore part for someone going through an unmanned/cashless toll with the likes of avis and that tolls ends up costing $2.50 plus $19.75 admin charge, whereas on the VTP it would be a discounted toll charge only.

Anything saved is better in your pocket, it's free to use just now so there's no harm in a sign up and gives some peace of mind

Would have saved more! They will have also paid an admin fee.

Collected my Daughter earlier so strolled through the Alamo garage to get to the lift for Level 3

Loads of people collecting their Visitor Pass. Nice to see.

Just avoid sunpass lanes and stop at toll booth to pay.
We went to KSC from Windsor Hills - I just looked at the statement and it was 5 tolls each way. Each to their own, but I reckon it was worth having the visitor pass not to have to stop and start 10 times on that journey. And, bonus, the visitor pass charges are slightly discounted too.
