Doesn’t matter in Florida as number plate recognition is used for tolling. So if you do miss paying a toll you will automatically be enrolled for the time of the trip. If you realise at the time that you did miss the toll, then you may as well keep using the express lanes for the rest of the holiday as you will be charged the daily admin fee each day whether you use a toll or not. On a 14 day holiday this will be $19.95 plus tolls at cost. This is wil Avis.
Same goes for Alamo except you are only charged the admin fee per gays that tolls are used. Avis is charged for every rental day to a max of just under $20 We always take the toll option as $20 over the holiday takes all the associated toll payment stress away, and let’s you get on with your holiday. Each to their own of course. |

I noticed that newer AVIS cars do not seem to have trnsponders so thy must be relying on the py by plate now.
Problem is that AVIS seem to bill you regardless if you use the cash lane. Maybe the toll company is the guilty company here and is sending AVIS the plate numbers even when using a cash lane. But it seems like with AVIS you have no alternative but to pay the $19.95 and any tolls as paying cash is wasted as you seem to get billed anyway without fighting it. I'd love to see a class action filed against one of them bacause someone is being dishonest and fleecing the public. Not sure who yet. But advice is almost assume you will get billed $19.95 by AVIS and for tolls and never pay cash unless you want to fight it on your return and submit proof etc etc. :angry: |

Thanks everyone!
I think i'll be paying for fuel upfront and rehearsing my "no extras!" mantra! Is there a well known toll free route from the airport? (First time DIY) TIA |

Except that our experience was different to that. Our SunPass was set to on (our fault for not checking). We paid cash at the first toll after MCO and got a receipt. Toll booth lady told us transponder was on. We switched it off. When we got home we had been charged the admin fee plus that one toll on our credit card. It wasn’t a case of missing a toll. We were only charged when the transponder was on, in a cash lane where we paid cash and got a receipt. Hard to see how number plate recognition was involved.
