This is what we did.

Last time we booked a car with COTD so it was not an issue - they do the transfer from the airport and back again. Their cars have a Sun Pass so any tolls used during the holiday are paid afterwards and there is no admin charge with them.

We've booked with them again for September.

can you tell me how many tolls we will hit? I have read about sunpass but i thought you had to purchase this for a charge each day of your rental? so if we did go through one by mistake we would just be charged around 5 dollars?
I thought that I had explained about getting change reasonably well in my post #3 above?

You do have an option to get from SFB across to I-4 and onwards to WDW toll free but if you choose the 417 the first toll will be very similar to the photo in post #3. Stay over to the right and ask for change.

It's about 10 years since we flew into SFB but very approximately I recall about 6 tolls and around $8-9 in total. More recent arrivals into SFB will confirm.

Here is the link to the DIBB guidebook which explains the various hire company toll rates.

turn right out of sanford & go along lake mary boulevard go over the 417 toll road and continue to the i4 for a toll free journey

or if using the 417 just keep right and uses the cash lanes

unless your travelling about florida i personally wouldnt bother with a sunpass just pay cash when/if you use a toll
