Alligator Alley tolls?
Will be driving across Alligator Alley maybe multiple times next weekend. Wanting to avoid car rental toll transponder sometimes crazy fees, can I jut pay cash for the tolls? I see various answers online ranging from "no" to "exact change in coins only" to "sure" so maybe FTer who actually knows could let me know? TIA!

This shows that Alligator Alley has toll booths. https://www.visitflorida.com/more/fa...20is%20charged.
The issue may be that once you leave Alligator Alley some of the roads are toll and do not have booths. This might be the case on the Miami side. On the Naples side I thinks it pretty farther north in the Tampa area where there are toll roads without booths.

There are some toll roads on the Miami side but they are easily avoidable. Take I-595 for Fort Lauderdale, or I-75 and the Palmetto for Miami. Avoid Florida's Turnpike, the Sawgrass, and the Dolphin.

Thanks, I didn't think of bringing my EZ Pass. But to close the loop on my specific question, yes, you can pay by cash to cross Alligator Alley.
