I have a question regarding plate pass. Specifically how you opt out using it in FL? I need to rent a car and will be going with Hertz and will be traveling from RSW to Fort Meyers beach. Do you opt out in the contract and need to physically do something to a transponder in the car?

Whats confusing as I thought I read some places dont offer the ability to pay with cash, which by default then would force a rental cars to use the Platepass

I was considering becoming a Gold Member which I understand allows you to go directly to the lot. If you go directly to the lot can you still opt out?

I technically dont know if a toll fee is needed to get there but will assume one is.
