Does seem to be glitchy though, when I log back in all I get is the screen with the QR code, won’t move off it, even by clicking ‘Done’ at the bottom!
That's the screen that I get on my mobile when I log on. But you don't press "DONE" until you've scanned the QR code or entered the alpha/numeric code at the MCO vending machine. At least the app on my Samsung says that.

The QR code doesn't stay in vision long though and reverts to the log in screen very quickly.

Sadly BB won't have time. Must get over to side B garage to get behind the wheel of my full size Alamo car again. Need to get on the 417 south.

Are you asking about scanning the app on your phone or when does the VTP tag get scanned.

Sadly the web page has gone to sleep but from what I recall when I first started this thread there was a bit of a walk through. You went to level 1 on side A where there are vending machines. According to my app you scan the bar code or enter the alpha/numeric code at one of these machines and it will deliver you your VTP tag. Previous chat on this thread might suggest that they will add side B when international flights resume.

You hang this tag from rear view mirror and it's read as you drive out of the garage.

Highly recommend the Visitor Pass, we used it 3 times from when it started until March 20 when we were last in Florida.
Like Mike, Lesley went with the cc to get the Visitor Pass while I went to look at the cars to hire. Good result on both.

As Boris announced the Lockdown were now having to drive to Miami, but spoke to VP people and they said that we could use it on the Florida Turnpike and post it back to them at Miami airport. So had a sae ready and posted it to them at the airport, receiving an email the following week with costs.

It would be good if they could also set it up at Tampa and Miami airport.

Melvin and Lesley

You'll need change when leaving the 417 at junctions 2 or 3 for example. This is j2 at Celebration Avenue. j3 at Osceola is similar.



You can buy a Sunpass mini transponder from Publix, CVS etc but Sunpass kicks in automatically when you don't stop by taking a photo of your licence plate.

Can I say how great it is to be posting on car hire again
Great to see those pics Mick - normal service has been restored

My email confirmation has got different pick up/drop off times to what I entered when I registered (not even close!).
It says these can be amended anytime by logging into the account. But when I log in to try and amend them, all I get is the QR screen.

Sorry I misunderstood your earlier post.

That's really odd. They are pretty poor at replying to emails through their web site as well - maybe a phone call?

A bit like you as well when I log in with user name and password and get the barcode there's nowhere to go is there? No drop down to view or edit anything.
