You could always avoid the tolls of you are that bothered or if you are flying into and out of MCO you should be able to get the visitors toll pass. Currently it is fee free and charges a reduces rate on the tolls.

As mentioned above if you’re flying in and out of MCO have a look at the visitor toll pass website visitortollpass/

There are other threads about it on here giving more information and it doesn’t cost anything so a no brainer really. We used it last year and have it reserved again for this July.

The absolutely cheapest way at the minute is using the Visitor Toll Pass, It's on an admin fee free pilot until 31 July 2020. We used it last year and are signed up again. Not only admin fee free but some tolls are actually cheaper than the posted rate at the plaza,

Next cheapest is pay cash although there are a few cashless tolls most around Miami.

Next cheapest is to buy your own transponder and load money on to it (for further see current "Sunpass Mini" thread) - not for me as I say on that thread.

Finally use the Sunpass scheme that works on every car hire in Florida.

This site tells you all about where the toll roads are. Open "traveller information" then "rental vehicles" will show how Sunpass works. Ignore Avis as it's out of date and costs have increased by around 50%. Alamo by far the best
