But Wait, There's More! (Because Florida Always Has More)
Here's the thing about Florida: they have two different types of transponders – the sticker kind and the fancy pants kind (officially called the NC Quick Pass Flex).
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
The Sticker Transponder: This free little fella is all you need for Florida's toll roads. Just slap it on your windshield, cruise on through, and let the sunshine state know your NC posse has arrived!
The NC Quick Pass Flex: This high-roller option unlocks not only Florida's toll roads, but also lets you use HOV lanes in some other states. Think of it as a VIP pass to the express lane of life (or at least the highway).
The important thing to remember: Whichever transponder you choose, make sure your account information is up-to-date. You don't want any surprises when you're hangry and just want to get to that delicious plate of key lime pie.
