Tolls: The Bane of Road Trippers (Especially Miami to Key West)
So, you’re dreaming of cruising down the Overseas Highway, feeling the salty breeze in your hair, and soaking up the sun in Key West. That’s awesome! But let’s talk about the elephant in the room (or should I say, the toll booth in the road): money. Specifically, how much you’re going to shell out for tolls on this epic journey.

| How Many Tolls From Miami To Key West |
One Toll to Rule Them All (Mostly)
Good news, folks! Unlike some torturous road trips that involve stopping at a toll booth every five minutes, the Miami to Key West route is relatively toll-friendly. You’ll mainly encounter just one toll plaza at the beginning of your adventure. It's like a one-time entrance fee to the Keys' amusement park (minus the rollercoaster, unfortunately).
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
But Wait, There’s a Catch
Okay, so I did say “mostly”. If you’re planning a pit stop in Miami and decide to exit the toll road, you'll have to pay another toll when you re-enter. It’s like getting charged a cover charge twice at a club. Not cool, but hey, that’s life.
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
How Much Will This Toll Extravaganza Cost Me?
The exact toll amount can vary depending on the type of vehicle you're driving and whether you have a SunPass (Florida's electronic toll system). But generally, you're looking at around $1.60 for a car. Not a total wallet-buster, but it's still annoying to fork over cash when you're already spending a pretty penny on gas and accommodation.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
