Driven through toll road

[Laurel Oak]

We are in the villa at the moment. We have a transponder and it started bleeping 3 times when we passed through the tolls. Turned out the battery had gone. stopped working on the way back from Winter Gardens. Phoned SunPass and they said as the rental car details were on my account any violations would be charged to my account.

If you have a rental car and transponder good idea to update the details at the start of each rental to ensure you are covered for any violations if the transponder doesn't work for some reason. It's something I never used to do but will certainly do now.

I always do it as soon as we get to the villa and I can get on line. Also I drive through the first toll both on the Beachline when we leave the airport so I can be sure my transponder is functioning correctly, then use the Sun Pass/E Pass lanes thereafter.

Thanks for everyone's comments. We did ring sun pass, they told us that it is a fully automated system and there is nothing they can do until the system flags up that a car went through with out paying, this takes aprox 10 days. The only suggestion they could give was to notify the car hire company, the fee should be aprox $10, I'll let you know how we go on.

I just got a bill from Dollar for using 4 unmanned toll booths in the Miami area at the start of the month. Tolls added up to $2.75 and they charged me $102.75 which to me is a total rip off.

We have been home 2 months now and have heard nothing regarding driving through the toll. We expected a charge appearing on our credit card bill but so far nothing.

You maybe fine. but it can also take a bit longer. I had a violation mailed to me, some 5 months or so after we had been. I was able to give them evidence of the toll being paid by our sunpass, and they then deleted it.

I always keep my carhire information for about a year, just in case anything comes up.
