E-ZPass: Sunshine Friend or Foe?
The good news: Yes, your E-ZPass can be your Floridian friend on certain toll roads! Specifically, it'll work on the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) roads. Think of it as your E-ZPass having a little vacation too, soaking up some rays while conveniently paying your tolls.
But hold on to your pool floats, there's a twist! Florida, in all its wonderful weirdness, has a bunch of different toll authorities. So, while your E-ZPass might be having a pool party on the CFX roads, it might not be invited to the party on every toll road in the state.
Don't Get Stuck in Toll Booth Limbo!
Here's how to avoid a toll booth meltdown:
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
- Know Your Toll Roads: Do your research! Check the rental car company's website or app to see if their vehicles have pre-installed transponders (those little E-ZPass gizmos) and what their fees are.
- Embrace the Rental Company's Toll Program: If your E-ZPass isn't going to cover all the bases, consider enrolling in the rental company's toll program. It might be a bit pricier than using your own E-ZPass, but it'll save you the hassle of digging for cash at every toll booth.
- Be a Savvy E-ZPasser: Think you can just slap your E-ZPass on the rental car and go? Not quite. Some E-ZPass issuers require you to update your account with the rental car's license plate. Check with your E-ZPass provider to be sure.
Bonus Tip: Toll Booth Trivia!
Did you know that Florida has a toll road named after a famous pirate? It's true! The "Don Gaspar Toll Road" winds its way through Tampa Bay. Yarrr, mateys, that's a toll booth fact you can impress your friends with.
