Sunpass/ Tolls

[ewhyte]

Same unit for Sunpass and Epass. I have one and wouldn't be without it. We pick up the hire car at the airport and amend the registration online when we get to the villa.

if you had to wait until you get to the villa to update the Reg number, would that not defeat the purpose of having the $25 dollar one? as we normally pay around $10 in tolls to get from Sandford to Davenport, so we would have to pay that amount before we can up date it.

Does that make sense?

[/quote]Wow, that seems a lot. It's either a strange route or you've got 12 axles !!!
Or am I way out of touch on these new charges?

Blimey $10... it normally costs us about $5 however, I use it anyway with the old reg and just update it asap... have never had a problem, highly recommend it. I am just back from a day at Cocoa... up the 417 and across the 528 no wait at tools and sopme had long queues!

How quickly does it update the reg? Could you technically update it as soon as you pick the car up either using the web on your phone or by physically ringing someone?

Not done the journey from Sanford before, but $10 in tolls does sound like a lot......

I have never updated for new rental car, it is still registered to original vehicle I had when I first bought it. And never had any problems with it. All that FL turnpike are really interested in, is if it still has credit on it.

That's interesting, I guess if it "pings" then they're not really bothered about the reg - would prob only be of relevance if it didn't register so they could tie the reg to the unit.

Thanks all, you've convinced me to get one next time I'm out there

Just realised I said $10 when that should have been for both journeys from and to the airport

Hi,

Strange...

a)We have the $25 transponder and it never beeps when we pass the toll gate (while it's paying perfectly)
can some forum member confirm that they hear a beep or get a confirmation sign (flashing LED) when passing the gates ?

b) Just went to my Sunpass web account and saw that they charge us some tolls for April and May...
while the transponder is here in Europe since begin February (whith battery removed) !?!
From now on, I will check my account each month !

HI

My transponder emits 1 beep everytime I go through the toll. I have never been charged for any unauthorised tolls.
