E-ZPass and Florida SunPass are now interoperable
 

The Florida Turnpike Enterprises announced as of Friday May 28, 2021, E-ZPass transponders are now accepted for payment at all Florida toll roads.

Conversely, SunPass account holders will need to get a new SunPass PRO hardcase transponder for use in the E-ZPass states (as it will be dual protocol). Existing SunPass hardcase and sticker transponders, which are single protocol, will not work in E-ZPass states.

However, this is great news for those of you from the northeast who go down to Orlando or Miami for vacation or work. You can take your own personal E-ZPass with you for your rental car and no longer have to be gouged by rental car company toll schemes (PlatePass etc).

AutoSlash Am I correct in assuming that this means the IPass and all other EZPass compatible transponders will work everywhere in Central Florida?

Yes, you are correct.

The NC QuickPass is still the best because it works in the EZPass states + Florida + Georgia + the Virginia Express Lanes. But this is a welcome development for sure.

The only thing that EZPass doesn't do now are the Express lanes in GA, which it claims is happening later this year. It is very rapidly getting to the point that it won't matter where your tag is from in the eastern half of the country. Now if TX would get on board I'd be much happier.

Yes. Previously EZ-Pass and I-Pass only worked on Central Florida Expressway Authority/E-Pass operated roads in the Orlando region (like SR-408, SR-417, SR-429). Now they work with all Florida toll agencies that use Sun-Pass for their primary tolling system (such as the Florida Turnpike Enterprise, FDOT, MDX, and THEA)

Thanks, that is good to know - I probably won't be driving from Michigan to Florida often, but if I do, it's good to know my I-Pass is compatible.

The Kansas K-Tag works in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Not nearly as robust, but it's something.

Good news thanks, still need my EZ pass for NY discounts but I can get rid of my Sunpass.

Hopefully SunPass doesn’t have any more billing fiascos with their toll agency partners. There was an issue here with us Florida locals 2 years ago where SunPass wasn’t paying some of the local toll agencies (like CFX here in Orlando) and people were getting bills from directly CFX even though they had SunPass because they weren’t paying CFX their share of toll revenue.

to confirm NC QuickPass is "the best" (for someone already using NY EZpass for frequent trips the entire length of I95): is NC QuickPass totally free?

No, you have to buy the transponder (they even charge NC sales tax for sales outside the state). They also don't allow you to add more vehicles than transponders, so buying one for your personal vehicle and transferring to a rental car is a more involved process (unless you buy a second transponder).

Don't get rid of your NY-issued tag. It's good for discounts on expensive NYC crossings.

For what it's worth, I never even bother adding rental cars to my account, and it always works just fine.

I thought about it before I went to DFW last month. Decided it wasn't that big of a deal to spend some extra time on the freeway rather than taking the George Bush. If I went every year like to do to MCO I might reconsider.
