Tolls from MCO to Sarasota?

[Mike]

Hi folks. We will be heading straight over to the gulf coast after leaving Orlando MCO. What are the unavoidable tolls and do we need any coins or are they all staffed?

[greekgranny]

A couple of tolls to get out of airport then onto I-4/I-75 to Sarasota no further tolls

[Mike]

Thanks. And coin only or staffed kiosks?

I'm honestly not sure, another Dibber will know i'm sure.

No Tolls 1 4 or 1 75

As Greek Granny says 95% of your journey is on toll free Interstates.


To get to the I-4 from MCO however does (unless you want a complicated avoidance route for the sake of a few $$$ ) involve a toll. Shortest is leaving MCO north exit via the 528 and there is a toll on the 528 but as I never use it not sure if it's manned. Regular users of 528 should be able to confirm.

Other option is to leave MCO on 417 south and merge with the I-4 near the "famous" Mickey pylon. Three tolls costing about $5 in total.

This is the first. Keep right, pay attendant no more than a $20 bill and ask for change. Cost $1.75 I recall from last month. Joan is the regular keeper of toll quarters - she just hands me what I need.

Another like this (where you can still pay attendant) and a final one just before merging with I-4. Can't remember if last one is manned or not but you will have accumulated enough quarters to throw into the basket if unmanned.

We always leave 417 at either Osceola or 192 so not sure if final toll is manned.
