All-Electronic Tolling ... Incurring a Toll
All Turnpike tolls are collected electronically between Exit 47 and Exit 1 in Miami-Dade County. Motorists use either SunPass or TOLL-BY-PLATE, and everyone pays tolls without having to stop.
SunPass utilizes credit-card-size electronic devices, called SunPass transponders, which attach to the inside of a car's windshield. When a car equipped with SunPass goes through a tolling location, the transponder sends a signal and the toll is deducted from the customer’s account. SunPass customers always pay the lowest toll rates available.
If you are not a SunPass customer and encounter an all-electronic tolling location, don’t worry; you will automatically become a Turnpike TOLL-BY-PLATE customer. The tolling cameras will take a photo of the vehicle’s license plate and a monthly bill for the tolls, plus a $2.50 administrative charge, will be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.
You may open a TOLL-BY-PLATE prepaid account online at www.tollbyplate.com or by calling 1-888-TAG-TOLL (888-824-8655) Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and avoid the monthly administrative charge.
Keep in mind that you can still use cash to pay tolls on Florida’s Turnpike, from the Golden Glades interchange in northern Miami-Dade to the I-75 interchange in Wildwood.
