When I arrive, I am not standing in line for 1 hour. I will be going straight to the parking lot and the space number to pick up my reserved car. How do I decline AVIS TOLL?
From Post #4, above:
"Opting Out of e-Toll: If you do not choose e-Toll Unlimited, you may avoid the standard e-Toll fees on any day during the term of the rental if you ensure the transponder shield box is in the “closed” position and you (i) pay cash for all tolls, (ii) use your own adequately funded, properly mounted and compatible electronic toll device to pay for all tolls, (iii) pay the toll authority directly through any available online or other service according to the toll authority’s rules and requirements; or (iv) avoid electronic toll roads or passages."
You can view a photo of a typical windshield-mounted toll transponder box here:

You can't (and shouldn't try to) remove the rental-car company's toll transponder from the car's windshield; rather, you just need to keep that transponder box closed at all times so that the only transponder which can be "read" at the toll facilities is your Orlando Visitor Pass transponder.
