Review- Sunpass mini with rental

[Dacky619]

We just got back from a 10 day trip. We rented a mid sized SUV from Alamo and were lucky enough to have a few minivans in the row. Before we left I had ordered the sunpass mini sticker for the rental car. There have been some questions about how well they worked and how easy they are to remove and such so I just thought I'd report back. I put the sticker on the van as we exited the parking lot and DW added the vehicle information to the sunpass account using the smartphone app (very very easy). Now with the sticker, I wanted to make sure it was easy to remove. Some people recommended just taping them to the windshield, but I went a different route. I scored three corners of the film that you would peel off to expose the sticky part. This way I was able to peel off almost all of the adhesive cover and left 3 corners covered so I could peel it off the windshield easily. Even after baking in the sun for 10 days I had zero issue just peeling the sticker off as we returned to the van to Alamo. It just took an extra few seconds and worked out great.

Thanks. I bought a Sunpass sticker for my trip next month.

What you have is the SunPass portable. Not the SunPass Mini that the OP is referring to.

Thanks for the clarification. I did not realize there was another option.

Can some one please tell me about this? Is it useful in Orlando?

Sunpass is the Florida toll pass (here in pa it is EZpass). You stick it to your windshield and you can drive through express toll lanes and the money is deducted from an account you set up. There are two versions, a sticker that once you remove you throw out ($5) or a larger unit that uses suction cups to attach and you can keep ($20). You can check them out and even buy then here: https://www.sunpass.com

You can still use cash. If you choose to use cash, keep a roll of quarters in the car. Some exits/entrances do not have an attendant and you have to have a Sunpass or use change.

That is what we usually do. Tolls don't cost us even $5. Guess its not worth it to us.
