  1. After researching the subject of "Cashless Toll Road" articles listed above and also looking at the Miami-Dade Toll Authority Website, I found out that most of the $152 was being assessed by Dollar! The actual toll amounts were $2.00 + $0.15 per toll gate + perhaps a $3.00 per bill Fee for handling charges. Dollar charged $25 Administrative fee for each of 6 toll gate charges($150 + $2.00 in toll fees.

     

    When confronted with this information the representative offered to back charge me $18 for a transponder and refund $134. I accepted this deal, but am still out the tolls I paid at the toll booths over three days, plus the cost of the Transponder, I did not use! Still sort of a rip off. I like the idea of buying the Sun Pass at the Grocery store, for use while in Florida!

  2. Just got slapped with an additional $152 bill from Dollar Rent a Car for a violation on Florida State Road 874, which I just discovered is a "Cashless Toll Road" Have never heard of anything like that where I live in California!

    This is a road from Miami going south towards the Keys or Everglades National Park. There are no toll booths, they were removed in July 2010. This must be a great money maker for the State of Florida, praying on unsuspecting Visitors unaware that there are even such roads. We stopped every time there was a toll booth on the Florida Turnpike, but this road 874 is a short connector to the turnpike from a free road to the Turnpike! What a ripoff!! Has anyone experienced this and got a refund from the State of Florida?
