We are considering getting the toll pass with our rental car. Any experience ?
We never do. If only travelling between the airport and Disney or Universal, you can just use the cash lanes. We make sure to have a bag of change in the car. I can't remeber the exact amounts but we never spend more than $10 in change for the tolls on the way to and from MCO.
There are manned booths on 417 that accepts any USA dollars. When you exit 417 there is a cash only unmanned booth and the toll is either fifty cents or seventy five cents or the epass lane. You really only need less than $5 for the tolls on 417 each way to the airport. There are money exchange booths in the airport to convert your money.Are the tolls coins only or can you go up to a gate and hand them small bills to pay?
Best thing I did. Paid for itself in one trip. Don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner when they came out with suction cup model. I got one in Publix.If it's to take the 417 from MCO to WDW, there are toll plazas where you can pay with change or bills. If you need to take the FL turnpike (e.g. Ft Lauderdale to Orlando), there's no toll plaza and need a Sunpass account. Without a Sunpass, you will be fined 100$ USD (my uncle got the bill). We always drive to FL where we always take the 417 to WDW and often stay in St Pete beach where there's a toll to pay so we decided to get the Sunpass transponder with suction cups. We keep 10$ minimum in our account and never have to worry about tolls anywhere.

Our one toll road in BC had toll taken off years ago, and the 2 toll bridges just got toll removed when NDP got in a few months ago. The sticker we have is behind rear view mirror on windshield so I don’t see it!We also got ours at Publix and keep it in the car year-round. I wished we could used Sunpass in the north east (NY, NJ, etc). One day maybe... I also wished they had those suction cup transponders for the tolls we have in QC (we don't take them enough to be have hideous stickers in the windshield).
