It\u2019s nigh on impossible to travel from Orlando or Miami airports to your hotel or rental home without using toll roads. From Orlando airport you\u2019re looking at either $2 or $3 for your trip to the Walt Disney World area, depending on whether you travel north or south out of the airport, and from Miami airport it\u2019s around $25.<\/p>

And then as you explore the Orlando area during your trip you will inevitably travel on toll roads.<\/p>

Nowadays, each rental car has a toll transponder attached to its windscreen that is automatically recognised when you travel through or under an automated toll sensor.<\/p>

So, with the tolls being aggregated up and then billed to the card that you gave at the rental counter (you consented to have your details passed to the toll-billing company in one of the many rental agreement signatures you gave!), you at least don\u2019t need any cash to navigate the tolls.<\/p>

And you\u2019re not going to run up a huge charge over the course of the week or two weeks that you are in the area. If you stay in the Orlando area, then your weekly charge may be around $10 to $20, plus an extra $50 if you flew in and out of Miami airport.<\/p>

Additional car rental company toll charges<\/strong><\/h2>

However, where you can get stung is on how your car rental company charges you for administering your toll charges!<\/p>

In addition to your actual toll charges, your car rental company will charge you a per day or per toll administration fee (depending on the car rental company) \u2013 you choose which program to sign up to at the rental counter before you pick up your car.<\/p>

Whichever choice you make and whichever company you\u2019re with, the costs soon rack up. Here are a couple of car rental companies and their toll charge options:<\/p>

  1. Avis:
    1. E-toll Standard: $5.95 per day (to a max weekly charge of $29.75), plus your actual tolls<\/li>
    2. E-toll Unlimited: $10.99 per day (to a max weekly charge of $54.75), which includes your tolls<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
    3. SixT:
      1. Standard: $5 admin fee for each toll incurred (no daily fee), plus your actual tolls<\/li>
      2. Express Tolls Unlimited: $11.55 per day of your rental, which includes your tolls

        <\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>

        We\u2019d recommend you take a look at your car rental company\u2019s toll payment options before you travel and work out which option you think will work best for you. It\u2019s one less thing to think about when you get to the car rental counter.<\/p>

        Visitor Toll Pass: an alternative to cut your toll costs<\/strong><\/h2>

        Most visitors renting cars in Florida, including us initially, just accepted these car rental charges (in addition to the tolls), as there wasn\u2019t a sensible alternative.<\/p>

        Now there is, but only if you fly into Orlando airport (MCO).<\/p>

        It\u2019s called the Visitor Toll Pass<\/a>, and we love it because:<\/p>
