hi all toll roads in miami dade are now cashless which means when you pick up your rental you will be offered a toll pass dollar charge $6.99 aday but you have to have it for the duration of your rental or you can have toll by plate which is charged direct to your cc.
we declined both and drove up highway 27 which aviods all toll roads the road is double lane and goes through part of the everglades what a great road it took 4.5 hours and went through towns like south bay,seebring,haines city while stopping in south bay for a drink got talking to a local who was surprised but glad we chose this route as he said it was mainly locals who use the 27 as tourist use the turnpike or i95 which was a shame as you dont get to see the real towns of florida.
give it a try we downloaded a florida map to our tom tom for £20 before we left and then checked directions on google maps and bing maps to just make sure it turned out to be one of the best desions we made the saving we made just on toll fees payed for the petrol to get to orlando .
