If the car has no 407 transponder, it'll get photographed at entrance and again at exit to calculate the tolls/kms driven, and billed to rental company, who then charges you the toll PLUS some admin fee (better ask)
There is no toll booths to collect at ramp entrance nor on the highway, so do not enter 407 unless you know what you're doing
Like I said earlier, just don't do it, it's not worth it
I am just learning about Miami's electronic toll (similar to 407, cashless), and some horror stories come out, where rental companies charge $25 to $100 PER toll... some people used $1, $1 of tolls and got billed $100 EACH TIME (so $2 + $202)......... WOW
