Visitor Toll Pass vs EZ Pass

[pens4821]

Was thinking of bringing my ezpass with me for my rental, but saw they also offer a visitor toll pass. The toll pass looks easy to use, and I don’t have to worry about linking the car to my ezpass (or even worse potentially forgetting to unlink it).

I’m sure either way will work just fine, just curious of opinions for people that have done either.

Not sure which EZ Pass you are using, but the FLorida SunPass or EZ Pass you can add the rental car and put specific date and time to start and stop. It is really simple to work out on their site.

The cost of adding the visitor toll pass would be an additional daily cost if I remember correctly to your rental. I would cost that out verses using your own pass.

I use my own Florida SunPass I have had it for years. It is good to use in Georgia too.

We've used the Visitor Toll Pass twice and it's super easy. You make a reservation on the app and the kiosk is located by the rental cars. Scan the QR code and get a hangtag. Link the license plate of your rental car and you're ready to go.

It's a $10 deposit that you will get back if you return the hangtag. No additional fees.

I've done both, and I will be doing the VTP when I get to Orlando and rent a car in two weeks. I brought my IL IPass once, it worked fine, but I couldn't get the state website to take the rental plate. Then I forgot the transponder in the rental. The rental company shipped it back to me, for $22. I'll take my chances with the VTP, even if I forget that, either someone will drop it in a return box or worst case, I'm out $10.

Are the kiosks staffed at all or are we at the mercy of an app and a cellphone?

It’s just a kiosk, like a vending machine. At mercy of machine working and having your device with you (even an iPad would work though with airport wifi… doesn’t necessarily need to be a phone).

I have a Florida Sun Pass. My mom used to live in S. Florida. I’d go with what ever is cheapest. I haven’t heard of the visitor pass.
