I have done accelerated check in with Alamo (Miami airport) Can we now use the kiosk when we get there?
Previously always done skip the line but sadly not available as our car is through Ocean Florida.

Hi Guys, someone mentioned in another thread about Alamo using the left lane for your tolls? Can someone point me in the right direction with this or give me some information please?

Also we have booked a standard SUV, it say it is a Ford Edge, is it likely to be something different?

Thanks!

This reply might get lost to be honest in a thread entitled "Alamo skip the counter" but here goes on how to pay tolls.

1. Do absolutely nothing and pay cash at maybe 90% of toll roads. Major exception is the Turnpike but there are a few other lesser ones. I could post a map if you wish.

2. Do nothing and drive through without stopping and enable "toll by plate" automatically. Camera takes a pic of your plate and in due course car company invoices for tolls plus their admin fee. All reputable hire cars are “toll by plate” enabled.

3. Buy a Sunpass Pro from CVS, Walgreen or Publix for around $15. Load it with $$$$ and your car details and it swipes $$ off as you drive through. Top up as appropriate.

4. Best by far get the VTP at MCO. No admin fees and slightly cheaper tolls. I've started five threads about VTP since May 2021. Sure you don't want to read them - the FAQs answer every question.

5. Agree to pay an "all inclusive" toll package at the desk where you might pay Dollar for example $50 a week and only go through one $1 toll.

As an example this is the first toll plaza you'll hit if you leave MCO on the 417 south.

Using 2, 3, 4 or 5 stay in the two left hand lanes, If paying cash use right hand lanes. You could use the right hand lanes for the other options as well but there will be stationary quees,

PS

All hire cars, unless you're hired something specific like a Mustang, will only ever say "similar to ... " - pot luck on the day I'm afraid.
